		<description>Sunt perfect de acord cu tine...totusi, eu sunt o tanara angajata la o multinationala si sincer, nu caut sa avansez imediat si nu caut salarii extraordinare si pozitii de manager, cred ca este mult mai important, sa inveti, sa inveti mult, de la sefi, de la colegi...ce se intampla totusi in momentul in care simti ca nu ai de la cine sa inveti? simti ca modul in care privesti tu lucrurile este diferit de modul in care priveste seful tau lucrurile?merita compromisul? poate ca merita, in ideea ca intradevar inveti ceva nou de la individul ala(care evident are niste calitati de vreme ce are o anumita pozitie in companie)...totusi, sentimentul trebuie sa fie reciproc, si superiorul tau trebuie sa &quot;te placa&quot;...din pacate, afinitatea pe care o ai cu un colaborator sau cu seful tau e foarte importanta - si daca nu e....</description>

		<title>Comment on Why Romania cannot be called &#8220;India of Europe&#8221; by Manoj Gautam</title>

		<description>Well, I will just like to take the discussion further and analyze the things in details,

For starters, Romanian accent is as bad as Indian, however, since Romanian and English are written in same script, Romania will always have an advantage here.  The educational institutes in India are known to produce great talents and some of them are often compared to MITs and Harvard of US, however, in Romania we only have one Academy of Economic Studies, which is grossly inefficient, drop out rates are higher and quality is ok. If you talk about Indians coming to Romania for Medical Studies, they come as they can not get through the tough entrance exams of State run medical institutes in India. 
However, one place where Romania scores is the cultural similarities with the client countries. India is still bogged down by many problems which will take centuries to solve. Also Romania is a safer proposition. But I can also see the rampant corruption in Romania which can pose a challenge and negative growth rate in the population. India has a workable population which is only matched by China and as such the labour  market will always be a buyers market which will make India attractive to knowledge worker based outsourcing contracts vis a vis Romania.</description>

		<description>Hm... Ai uitat sa mentionezi cel mai important ingredient: clientul! Adica cel care iti plateste salariul. :)

Fa-te util pentru client, empatizeaza cu el in situatia in care criza economica i-a frant din vise, arata-i cum serviciul/produsul tau il poate ajuta sa-si creasca business-ul sau sa tina sub control sau chiar sa isi reduca din costuri.... 

In ceea ce priveste echipa, sunt pentru transparenta: explica de ce, ce si cum se intampla criza, care este impactul asupra companiei, asupra clientilor, asupra grupului pe care il conduci. Fa echipa parte din planul tau, responsabilizeaz-o. Vor aprecia si se vor gandi de 2 ori inainte sa ceara lucruri care, altadata normale, nu se incadreaza in peisajul crizei. 

De asemenea, fii sigur ca ai un sistem de masurare a performantei bine pus la punct, greu contestabil, cunoscut si agreat de toata lumea. In cazul in care va trebui sa reduci din posturi, fii 100% sigur ca poti sa ii alegi pe cei mai buni sa iti ramana alaturi. Nu intotdeauna primii veniti trebuie sa fie si cei care pleaca.... ci cei neperformanti.</description>

		<description>Nu lucrez intr-o multinationala, nu mai sunt nici macar salariata, dar am citit cu interes. 
Deocamdata aplic in practica mesajul care circula pe internet: &quot; cumparati cit mai multe produse romanesti&quot;. Asa ca...trec mai des pe la piata (mere, pere,  zarzavaturi romanesti,...nu din supermarket).</description>

A wonderful analysis Amalia. Romanians are not Indians and vice versa. Since change is the only constant, its imperative not just for Romania but also for India as it is for all countries to look deeper and analylize what happens when cost effectiveness stops to be a value proposition.  Cost is only a small segment of value. Offerings will have to become value dominated rather than cost dominated. As far as Romania goes, no country can take away its geographic advantage. Everything else is subject to change. Its entry into the EU and the planned inclusion in the Shengen zone will only enhance Romania&#039;s value.  But these values are like uncut diamonds. Unless polished in just the right way, they would not entice investors forever. I am waiting for any country&#039;s leader who can run it on Andrew Grove&#039;s &quot;Only the paranoid survive&quot; principle.
