Lessons Learned on the Inca Trail
Carla Reed 1/28/2005 12:00:00 AM
Peru, a country with a glorious past and an uncertain future, stands at the crossroads. The inability to attract significant trade or investment due to the crime and lack of democratic principles in the nation should be addressed as a matter of urgency. Peru can learn from countries that share the legacy of lost empires -- for example China -- and examine the principles of their ancestors to create a sustainable economic environment.

If Relevant Business Systems deliberately wanted to maintain its astute enterprise system as one of the best-kept secrets in the A&D and government contracting manufacturing markets, it has certainly succeeded. However, given a growing horde of viable solutions from larger and more renowned vendors, the company will have to spread the word much more aggressively from now on, while trying to stay outside its bigger competitors' "shooting range".
