...| | | | | | | | An Analytical Study on the branding image of Bangladesh in the International Market Introduction Bangladesh is in South Asia sometimes converging with Southeast Asia, bordering the Bay of Bengal to the south, mostly surrounded by India and bordering Myanmar in the southeast. Bangladesh is a country bestowed with the gifts of nature. It has nurtured some of the most ancient civilizations of this continent. The young country came into existence after a blood-spattered liberation war in 1971. But the pace of growth and development has been impeded by many factors. Bangladesh, as a Least Developing Country (LDC), faces a reputation challenge which is popularly known as its image problem. Bangladesh has gained the image of a country with too many people, too much poverty, too little resources, too frequent disasters and too little ability to change for better. Recently poor law and order, Rana Plaza Collapse, bad investment climate, political chaos and Islamic terrorism have killed its image more. To remove all the negative aspects and image surrounding Bangladesh and to make it as a beautiful and prospective country it is highly recommended to branding Bangladesh. But where do we stand? What is Nation Branding? Before digging deep into the issue, let’s look at what is nation branding. Nation branding aims to measure build and manage the reputation of countries (closely related to place branding). Some approaches applied, such as an increasing...

...A HIGH-TECH, LOW EMPLOYMENT FUTURE IN THE MANUFACTURING SECTOR – A CORRECT CONCLUSION? A paper contributed by Asif Ibrahim Director, Dhaka Chamber of Commerce and Industry Managing Director, Newage Garments Ltd Bangladesh 1. Is the combination of (i) the “Chinese monopoly” on the low cost manufacturing and (ii) the increased automation with manufacturing industries likely to limit the scope available to developing and transition economies for reducing poverty through employment generation in the manufacturing sector? Automation usually implies an entrepreneur’s effort to cut down cost in the long run by leaning more towards the fixed costs of owning machineries rather than generating more variable costs in human resource employment. Having said this, automation and employment generation then stand at paradoxical ends of the factors of production. Can we not, thus, easily surmise from this that automation in the manufacturing industry may help reduce poverty in a country such as ours through increased production, but probably not employment generation? A country such as Bangladesh, developing and with one abundant source of production being its labor force, may not be able to sustain the blow that may be rendered by flooding its manufacturing industry with high-tech machineries. Such a step would mean that manual labor would be replaced by low-cost but machine-oriented methods of production. Yet, it is not only our labor market that would suffer if manufacturers of our country...

...Characteristics/Profiles of Bangladeshi Entrepreneurs Several studies were done in order to identify the characteristics or profiles of Bangladeshi entrepreneurs. Papanek (1969) observed psychological trait of risk taking among the people of the then East Pakistan(now Bangladesh). Farouk (1983) did a survey on Bangladeshi entrepreneurs and in this survey he focused on the biography of successful Bangladeshi entrepreneurs. He found that Bangladeshi entrepreneurs are generally hard working, honest, religious, trustworthy, reliable, and less educated and live simple lives. Most of the entrepreneurs in this survey had poor educational background and were not good students. Generally these entrepreneurs come from three groups: 1. Those families who have been in business or industry by tradition and their children Are now in business, 2. Retired government officers or politicians or their family members. 3. Those that began small but achieved considerable success by their personal efforts.
