In India only 37%. That means 63% are dissatisfied
In China just 17% are satisfied. That would mean 83% are dissatisfied
Whereas in Malaysia only 26%  are satisfied.
Can you imagine the number of people out there who are unhappy with their work?

In the region, the most unhappiest workers are Singaporeans.

It’s an open secret that the government has been encouraging Singaporean to venture into Startups and be entrepreneurs instead. The fact that the government has came out with a lot of grants for Small Medium Enterprise (SME) is a strong signal of their sincerity. The Skill-future program for lifelong learning is just another strategy to encourage Singaporean to be more adventurous. Honestly, we believe PMETs should tweak their mindset and retrain themselves to be Entrepreneurs.

Have Businesses been benefitted by Technology?

YES and the answer is not what are the benefits but how much of it?  Throughout the Values Chains from Research & Developments to Manufacturing to Wholesale & Distribution and finally Retailing without exception benefited from Technology. For example In Singapore context our manufacturers during the 1980 to the 90s when they assemble their final Products, it is purely with human efforts but currently are all being replaced by robots.

My article is not about the whole Business Valued Chains but instead focus just on Retailing. This is our areas of core competencies for more than 40 years and its where we can share our experiences so as to benefit you.
