Economic Hubs in Asia Foster Economic Development




East Asia is increasing as a powerhouse of manufacturing but is also becoming a consumer of finished worldwide products. According to research by Ando (2011), the region was able to recover quickly from the financial difficulties of the recession due to its interconnected business activity. As wealth increases in the area, so will the consumption and needs of the local population.  Companies would be wise to target the growing wealth of the area to sell products and services. 

Direct foreign investment has increased the distinct East Asian industries of general machinery, electric machinery, transport equipment, and precision machinery. These well developed countries that dominated the machinery trade have now been replaced by the growing machinery trades of East Asia. Its dominance is tied to its exportability of products and interconnected manufacturers. 

The advantages of this region rely on interconnected blocks of manufacturing ability that allow interconnectivity, communication, coordination, and effort in production. The costs that would eat up profits in disconnected blocks are lessened when regional hubs are developed. Each industry grows and develops off the others thereby creating synergy in regional effort. 

The U.S. and Europe are important trading partners for East Asia products but their significance is declining as Asian countries increase their consumption of imported products. This means that as a global international trade network Asia countries are coming into a mature market and are beginning to be significant trade sources of their own. Less reliance on European and U.S. market exportation means more varying influence on product customers and final design. 

After the recession, this area of the world has largely recovered while many other still lag behind. The recovery was based on dense industry similarities in the area with global network distribution.  This should act as a lesson for regions and leaders that desire to develop their own industries that can recover quickly from economic fluctuations. At present these Asian countries are focused on infrastructure to foster the growth of future industries.

Development Tips:


-Develop economic hubs of similar industries that create transactional savings in their economic vines.

-Encourage foreign trade and network lines that span to multiple areas where wealth is increasing. 

-Develop economic hubs that foster innovation and development of products.

-Encourage human capital development in the region and culture that sustains progressive values. 

-Maintain and develop infrastructural improvements that cultivate further growth and distribution.

The Meaning of A Boundless Moment by Robert Frost

A Boundless Moment by Robert Frost He halted in the wind, and — what was that Far in the maples, pale, but not a ghost? He stood there bringing March against his thought, And yet too ready to believe the most. "Oh, that's the Paradise-in-bloom," I said; And truly it was fair enough for flowers had we but in us to assume in march Such white luxuriance of May for ours. We stood a moment so in a strange world, Myself as one his own pretense deceives; And then I said the truth (and we moved on). A young beech clinging to its last year's leaves. The poem is one of seasons changing and the cycle of life. Each May the bloom comes out and brings life to the death of winter. The poem is about a single moment when the characters see that life has changed. The layers of meaning can be deep but on the surface it appears Robert Frost is discussing nature and its cyclical momentum.   Everything in nature moves through patterns. The poem indicates that

Art Review: The Kiss by Gustav Klimt

The Kiss is Gustav Klimt’s most famous and well known painting. Produced in 1908 in Vienna, Austria and incorporated oil and gold life on the canvas ( 1 ). This was unique for his time and represents both tile works with Asiatic influence. The painting and the romance it brings forward is still wonderment to onlookers. The picture depicts a passionate relationship between a man and woman in a sort of perfect place.  The couple is embracing, bodies entwined, wearing robes of wealth and decadence. It provides linear constructs of the Art Nouveau style and the movement of arts with crafts ( 2 ). The male is square and masculine while the woman painted is in curves to represent femininity. The couple is a pair with the woman and man equal in stature. They are in a field of flowers and appear to rise above it.  To many this painting represents the concept that love has no bounds. Social position or worldly wealth cannot hide what goes on under the fancy clothes and standard m
