The multinationals that are sticking with the Philippines

Article Abstract:

U.S. corporations will remain in the Philippines, despite the recent Aquino revolution and threats of business regulation. A report by the American Chamber of Commerce shows that the 104 American-owned companies doing business in the Philippines are among the top 1,000 companies in that country. The 70 U.S. multinational corporations in the country recorded export earnings of $1.24 billion in 1984, roughly 26 percent of the total exports from the nation. These firms paid taxes which total $126 million to the Philippine treasury and allocated $135.6 million in salaries to 64,268 workers.

Article Abstract:

The inability to translate technological gains into a user-friendly product for the senior executive has been a failure for the computer industry. Senior executives need information in a form which is digestible enough to apply to managing their companies. The reality of business computers has often been paper pile-ups, confusing screen layouts, and the need for a large expenditure for software. Large computer firms such as IBM are working to develop executive information systems to help ease the problems faced by computer-using senior executives.
