我叫杨嘉璐，我选的文章的名字叫彭博社的埃里克·马丁（Eric Martin），题为“墨西哥有生产力问题”。该文章于2019年11月17日发布。（https://www.bloomberg.com/graphics/2019-new-economy-drivers-and-disrupters/mexico.html）
Post:My name is Jialu Yang and the name of the article I picked is named “Mexico has a productivity problem” by Eric Martin from Bloomberg. The article was published on November 17th in 2019. (https://www.bloomberg.com/graphics/2019-new-economy-drivers-and-disrupters/mexico.html)
本文的重点是讨论墨西哥当前生产力的缓慢增长，并试图解释其背后的原因。对于在墨西哥开设一家新工厂或办公室的小公司而言，他们所要缴纳的税款和繁文tape节的费用高达50％，这对许多中小型公司来说都是沉重的负担。这是墨西哥人民不愿进行更多投资的主要原因之一，并解释了墨西哥国内生产率增长缓慢的原因。文章提到了墨西哥的两种业务基础设施，其中一种是高科技产品，例如航空航天和电子行业，另一种是中小型公司，在墨西哥从事大部分业务。两大业务之间的不平衡表明，更多人将受到税收和繁文tape节的不公平负担的影响，而事实证明，这些人是最挣扎的人。一些雇员被迫离开劳动力队伍并失业。他们原来是无法根据自己的技能找到另一种自给自足的工作的人，因此这也提高了该国的失业率。
The article is focused on talking about the current slow-moving productivity within Mexico and trying to explain the reasons behind it. For a small company in Mexico to open up a new plant or office, the taxes and red tape they have to pay goes up to as much as 50 per cent, which is a huge burden to a lot of small to even medium sized companies. This serves as one of the main reasons why people in Mexico have been reluctant in investing more and explains the slow productivity growth within the country. The article mentioned two types of business infrastructures in Mexico, one of them is the high technology productions such as aerospace and electronic sectors, while the other one is small to medium sized companies, which takes up the majority of the business within Mexico. The imbalance between the two major business suggest that more people are going to be affected by the unfair burden on tax and red tape, who turns out to be people who struggle the most. Some employees are forced to be driven out of the workforce and become unemployed. They turned out to be the people who would not be able to find another self-sufficient job based on their skills, so this also drives up the unemployment rate within the country.
我同意本文的重点。就像我们在课堂上讨论的那样，有多种原因和困难会减慢发展速度，而缺乏投资就是其中之一。墨西哥国家内艰难的商业环境和税收负担，导致缺乏投资者和投资动机。没有必要的投资资金的企业也会导致无法进行产品的研发，从而拖累了产品在全球市场上的竞争力。由于工资不足和缺乏强大的基础设施，员工也缺乏提高劳动生产率的动力。本文与有关投资如何影响国际贸易的第22章（第467-471页）和有关失业率如何影响公司增长的第8章（第165-167页）相关。
I agree with the article’s main point. Like we discussed in class, there are various reasons and difficulties that could slow down development, and lack of investment is one of them. The difficult business environment and tax burden within the country of Mexico, which leads to the lack of investors and investment incentive. A business without the necessary investment money also lead to the inability to do research and development for products, which in turn drag down on the product’s competence in the global market. With insufficient pay and lack of strong basic infrastructure, employees also have a low incentive to increase their labor productivity. This article is related to Chapter 22 about how investment impact international trade (pg. 467-471) and Chapter 8 (pg. 165-167) about how unemployment rate affect company growths.

1.嗨，你好，
我同意您的观点，也同意本文的观点，即允许一家大型国际公司进入发展中国家可能为其现有业务结构带来很大风险。虽然，按照我的观点，与带来的风险相比，它也可能带来一些积极的影响。的确，亚马逊将能够提供价格更低，质量更高的产品，并且可能吸引了很多人那。我要指出的另一个方面是印度当地居民的偏好。人们会在亚马逊上找到他们想要的东西，还是只能从当地供应商那里买到？而且，如果人们有自己的购物偏好，那么拥有亚马逊对本地供应商的风险可能就不那么高，因为他们会有忠实的客户。我认为这个话题与我们在课堂上学到的有关国际贸易和全球战略的知识有关，因为对于公司在进入新市场之前制定周密的计划至关重要。我很想继续关注这个话题，以了解将来会发生什么。感谢分享！
2.嗨，泰迪，
感谢分享这篇文章！这是一篇非常有趣的文章，让我感到惊讶的是，来自非洲的五个人中的每个人都在创业。那真是不可思议。我同意您的观点和本文的观点，并且我还认为“向上扩展”程序是一个很棒的主意。我以前在一家初创公司工作过，这确实很艰难，尤其是在刚开始时，将您的所有想法变成现实。而且由于缺乏经验，支持或资源，肯定很容易在一开始就落后。对于初创企业而言，为未来的增长打下坚实的基础非常重要。通过拥有该程序，它将能够提供支持和连接资源，这将创造双赢的局面。阅读本文后，我绝对认为我会更深入地研究在哪里可以找到资源或建立联系，使人们可以在自己的未来工作中互相帮助。
Replies:1. Hi Minghao,
I agree with your point and also the article's point that allowing a big international company into a developing country may bring in much risk for its existing business structure. Though, from my opinion, it may also bring in some positive influence compared to the risk it brings in. It is true that Amazon will be able to offer lower-price and higher-quality products, and a lot of people may be attracted by that. Another aspect I would like to point out is local people's preference within India. Will people find whatever they are looking for on Amazon or are something only available from the local vendors? And if people have their own shopping preference, having Amazon there may not be as much as a risk to the local vendors because they would have their loyal customers. I think this topic is related to what we learned in class about international trade and global strategy, as it is important for a company to develop a thorough plan before they enter a new market. And I would love to stay tuned on this topic to see what happens in the future. Thanks for sharing!
2. Hi Teddy,
Thanks for sharing this article! This is a really interesting article to read and I am surprised to learn that everyone in five people from Africa is starting their own business. That is quite incredible. I agree with your point and the article's point and I also think the Scale Up program is an awesome idea. I worked at a start-up company before and it was surely tough especially at the beginning to turn all your ideas into real actions. And with lack of experience, support or resources, it surely is easy for something to fall behind at the very beginning. For a start-up, it is important to lay a strong foundation for future growth. By having the program, it will be able to provide support and connect resources, which will create a win-win situation. After reading this article, I definitely think I would look more into where I can find resources or create connections where people are able to help each other out in my own future endeavors.
