From the Paper
"The work entitled: "The Pattern of Innovation in Singapore's Manufacturing Sector" published in January 2003 reports a study of Singapore's manufacturing sector through use of the results of the first national innovation system (NIS) survey. the study reports that Singapore "has a long way to go in its development of an innovation-based economy" but that progression "has been made, with companies making visible efforts to engage in innovation activities." This is important because as stated by the report "innovation activity" has been found to be "positively related to sales volume, sales, growth, employment growth and internationalization." (Ibid) "

Abstract
This paper examines a World Bank initiative to encourage economic growth in developing lands. In particular the paper considers how Hong Kong and Singapore are two nations which serve as excellent examples to the rest of the world of how relatively less developed nations can maximize their human capital. Chiefly the following paper argues that laissez faire economics especially in the case of Hong Kong coupled with a determination to accentuate service sector growth, especially true in the case of Singapore, can lead to great things.
From the Paper
"Newly industrialized countries are understandably eager to join the front ranks of twenty-first century nations. For this to occur, of course, they require diligence, a receptivity to new knowledge, and a certain amount of innovation. The following paper will review how economic methods employed in Hong Kong and in Singapore can help developing states achieve prominence in the new world order. Specifically, the paper looks at the benefits of domestic competitiveness and at government policies aimed at promoting innovation and self-reliance (Hong Kong in particular) and services-sector growth (Singapore has been especially aggressive on this front). In the final analysis, a globalized world requires liberal government policies, and both of the aforementioned nations offer that. "

Abstract
The study focuses on the current state of e-mail marketing in Singapore, particularly Singaporean companies' uses, attitudes, practices, and results of e-mail marketing. The research explores ways in which e-mail marketing has changed the face of industrial marketing in general, not just within Singapore, but worldwide. The study first reviews available literature on e-mail marketing, and looks at the results of a questionnaire consisting of twenty (20) questions about e-mail marketing. Answers to the 20 separate questions are then analyzed and broken down by percentages, and interpretations are made according to how many responses each type of survey question, and what the particular group response means. Based on that analysis, interpretations are made about Singaporean companies' current attitudes and practices about e-mail marketing. Attitudes, uses, practices and results of e-mail marketing of companies outside of Singapore are also analyzed.

From the Paper
" Since the invention of the personal computer and the emergence of the online world, millions of people have started using e-mail, because it is a wide-reaching communication tool, easy to use, and fast and cheaper than other communication methods. With e-mail, one can communicate with anyone, anyplace, twenty-four hours a day. Many people have already replace telephone and postal mail with e-mail. Corporate culture has also been enormously affected by e-mail. Staffs now prefer sending e-mail over talking on phone or correspondence by fax. Use of e-mail in business today is specially prevalent; you need no worry about missing any messages as that are received, rather in meetings travelling, or sleeping at night: e-mail waits until you open it.
Many companies also increasingly use e-mail as marketing tool to communicate with customers; for products and services sales, and to build relationship with customer and future customer. Although traditional marketing tool used for mass communication, as newspapers, magazines, radio and television, are still dominating the market, their dominance is declining, whereas direct marketing tool have become increasingly important with shift from traditional mass marketing to personalised and segmented marketing. That led to communication environment changed from a mass communication to a more targeted, one-to-one communication environment. In order to adapt this shift, however, marketers need communicate to current and prospective customers individually, and give personalised attention with tailor-made products and services information."

Abstract
This paper discusses how the Madruga Corporation's Singapore subsidiary can succeed in Singapore. The paper points out that, if Madruga is to succeed in Singapore, it cannot approach employee-employer relations from an American perspective. The home country's culture and the organisational culture needs to be tempered with the host country's culture and the worldviews, which colour and determine the local workforce/domestic employees' attitudes towards work. The paper then points out that this extends to the management of employee behaviour and the strategies deployed for the maximisation of employee motivation levels. With specific focus on whether or not knowledge of achievement motive would be of any value to expatriate managers in Madruga's Singapore subsidiary, this report argues that even though it is of value, the said value can only be realised if pre-existing achievement motive knowledge is adjust to correspond with the culture in question.

Conclusion
From the Paper
"Worker motivation can be either internal, brought about by the person's interactions with his own set of beliefs about what will satisfy his needs, or external, brought about by interactions with one's environment. Motivation can result from something as complex and volatile as how a person's attitudes were formed in the womb and in the crib, to how a supervisor uses language and the meanings of words in describing tasks and providing feedback. In reality, it appears that the dynamics that move a worker toward particular activities come form a constant interaction between both internal stimuli and external stimuli."

In particular, it looks at how it is internationally recognised as one of the world's leading carriers, is the pioneer of in-flight services such as free drinks and complimentary headsets and how the airline believes that this commercial success wouldn?t have been possible without its customers.

Conclusion
From the Paper
"SIA also gave its First class and Raffle (business) class passengers an opportunity to have their preferred dishes on the journey, on prior notice to the airline. Though its competitors came up with similar facilities of in-flight food, the service-minded attitude with which SIA served the passengers made it difficult for the competitors to compete with it. SIA crew always had a ?ready to do? attitude and they went out of their way to satisfy passengers. Once a passenger travelling with his children in the first class of SIA, refused to have the food served saying they were not used to those and would prefer a bowl of instant noodles. From then on, every SIA flight carried a supply of instant noodles for passengers whose choice did not match the food served in the flight. Another example of customer service at SIA was the small water bottles offered to customers."

The Democratization of Singapore, 2006.
An analysis of the political situation in Singapore.
2,764 words (approx. 11.1 pages), 8 sources, MLA, £ 58.95
»
Click here to show/hide summary
Abstract
This paper discusses the process of democratization underway in Singapore. Singapore continues to have a single ruler with almost autocratic power, and this ruler is reluctant to let go of his iron grip on the nation. The paper discusses how, due to this fact, Singapore continues to remain a pseudo-democracy, caught in limbo between freedom and oppression. The paper describes how the government of Singapore functions and the results for the people.
From the Paper
"It is the focus on the family and "traditional" Asian family values that attract many Singaporeans to loyalty to the government of the People's Action Party. For example, it is an Asian custom for children to take care of their parents when the parents get old. In Singapore, this is taken a step further, with parental support being a legal obligation of children, and parents can actually sue their children for non-support. Further, women are not allowed to report themselves as heads of households on official documents. There are also government-sponsored programs in place to encourage educated women to have children. This focus on the family is meant to keep people from becoming radical individualists by putting their identification with a family group that is presented as being greater than the individual."

"Singapore corporate culture may be government-dominated and clubby, but it is hard to see it as a security threat to anyone, least of all the US. Since independence in 1965, through the Vietnam War and up to today's war on terror, Singapore has been the US's most supportive ally in Asia. Singapore hosts an important US naval base. Unlike Korea, the Philippines and Japan, it does so with no apparent local opposition.."

Abstract
This paper looks at the nation of Singapore and provides information about its basic geography, exports, resources and imports. The paper also looks at the standard of living and general contentedness of Singaporeans. It then discusses whether or not tradition is valued in Singapore and how stable or unstable the national government is. Finally, the paper analyzes whether or not Singapore is "in line" with U.S. foreign policy - and how Singapore is important to the United States' foreign policy and national defense - and what general strengths and weaknesses it possesses. Ultimately, the paper illustrates how even the tiniest of nations can have major international significance.
From the Paper
"To close briefly, Singapore is an important country for America insofar as it is a wealthy and fairly influential member of ASEAN and because an enemy of the United States that gained power in Singapore would be geographically positioned to gain considerable power in the entire Southeast Asian region. In military terms, an enemy of America's that gained control in Singapore could threaten US naval and military installations in the Pacific - as well as the security of Australia, another strong ally upon which America has depended in the past. As a few final points, Singapore's proximity to China and to habitually-unstable Thailand is a very real weakness while the nation's greatest strength lies in its political stability and the fact that it is a prosperous land with strong business ties to the United States - as have a number of other Asian lands (Ramsay 2003)."

Urban Development in Singapore, 2008.
A study of urban planning and development in Singapore.

Click here to show/hide summary
Abstract
This paper examines Singapore as unique among the cities of the world because of its efficient urban planning given its limited land mass and a high population density. The paper starts by discussing the integrated urban development of Singapore. It first describes how the State and City Planning (SCP) Project that started way back in the 1970s evolved into the Concept Plan of 1971 and the Master Plan for Singapore. The paper then addresses various challenges to modernity and the broad parameters of the Urban Redevelopment Authority (URA) Concept Plan of 1991. It also addresses urban transportation and uses diagrams to illustrate Singapore's planning strategies. Finally, the paper concludes that the city state is regarded as a model of urban governance in terms of land use planning, which is taken seriously and implemented with relatively increased intensity of conformity.

From the Paper
"With this urban planning taking shape, almost 86% of the Singapore population now resides in multi-storied residential buildings constructed by the Govt in every region of the island. It all started with conceiving of the broad master development plan for Singapore, called as the 1971 Concept plan which was designed in 1971 under the 4-year SCP Project initiated in 1967 with the support of UNDP with a forward planning of 20 years with 1992 as the target year. The plan laid down greater emphasis on the investment urgency to develop the island-wide transportation infrastructure during the very initial stage of the city development. The year 1991 witnessed taking shape of the Revised Concept Plan coupled with the Strategic Transport Plan to develop an affordable land transport network which could be able to fulfill the growing travel demand of a population that is projected to touch nearly 4 million by 2030. One of the pillars of urban development of Singapore is the successful application of advanced technologies to enhance the efficiency and upkeep of its land transportation system through an ERP system.

The History of Singapore, 2007.
This paper explores how Singapore developed to become the successful nation it is today.

Abstract
The paper discusses how Singapore was a British colony and then merged into Malaysia. The paper examines how a combination of political and ethnic differences between Singapore and the national government eventually led to a split, with Singapore separating from Malaysia and establishing itself as an independent nation. The paper reveals that since its independence from the Malaysian government in 1965, its economy has increased phenomenally every year. The paper shows how in the 1990s, Singapore became the most prosperous nation in Southeast Asia and so it has been projected to have a higher per capita income than many Western countries and to become among the three or four most prosperous countries in the world in the 21st century.
From the Paper
"Modern Singapore was acquired as a second trading post by the British East India Company in 1819 and earned initial economic success as an entrepot on account of the island's location, harbor and free port status (Sullivan 2006). From a mere center for trade and transshipment at the early 20th century, Singapore eventually evolved into a regional center for distribution of primary goods, mainly rubber and tin from the Malay Peninsula, for distribution of European manufactured good. When the British set up a naval base in the island after World War I, Singapore became a key element of the British Commonwealth of Nations' military defense east of India and this contributed the naval support industry to the island's economy."

The regional economic alliances and the economic development stage of Singapore to potential business opportunities are also be reviewed. The final topics discussed are the major drivers of globalization in Singapore and the role of this country within the regional organizations of which it is a member.
From the Paper
"Singapore is a highly developed and successful free market economy, enjoying an open and corruption-free environment, stable prices and one of the highest per capita Gross Domestic Product in the world. Singapore?s economy depends heavily on exports, particularly in electronics and manufacturing (cia.gov). During the last three decades, Singapore?s booming economic growth largely outperformed the world economy. Some of Singapore?s export partners include the U.S., Malaysia, Thailand, South Korea and Hong Kong. Specifically, Malaysia is a large import and export partner to this county. One of the country?s international disputes was with Malaysia over deliveries of fresh water to Singapore. However, as a transportation and financial services hub, Singapore is vulnerable to be used as a transit point for Golden Triangle heroin and as a venue for money laundering (cia.gov)."

Abstract
This paper shows how both the United States and Singapore derived their criminal justice system from the British system, though the U.S. system has diverged considerably while the system in Singapore remains deeply rooted in the British forms. The writer explains however that today, the immediate source for the criminal justice system in each country differs in that American law is constitutional, while criminal law in Singapore is entirely statutory and based on an adopted Criminal Code. It looks at how common law is a feature of both systems, standing as the accepted customs of many legal systems.
From the Paper
"American citizens derive their rights from the Constitution and particularly from the Bill of Rights. These ten articles were influenced largely by George Mason, Thomas Jefferson, and James Madison, with much of the final language based on Mason's "Declaration of Rights" for Virginia's Constitution of 1776. There were originally twelve, but two were eliminated as the final ten were adopted in 1791 (Hall, 1992, 70-71). Article VIII states: "Excessive bail shall not lie required, nor excessive fines imposed, nor cruel and unusual punishments inflicted." These simple words have engendered reams of interpretation, for the Constitution does not say what constitutes either cruel or unusual punishment or how to make such a determination. Other provisions have similarly been argued throughout our history, and judicial determinations up to and including the supreme Court form a body of case law on which the police, prosecutors, and courts rely."

Abstract
This paper examines the case of the Singapore Kindness Movement (SKM) and its goal of promoting ?graciousness? in Singapore. It looks at the various roles the SKM fulfills in Singaporean society. It compares the SKM with other civil society groups in neighboring Southeast Asian states like Malaysia. In conclusion, it posits that the case of the SKM shows how the state can still exert subtle influence on its people through the institutions of civil society.
From the Paper
"In Malaysia, Zainah Anwar shows how organizations such as the Sisters of Islam are challenging the steady erosion of women's legal rights and social freedoms under the country's Muslim government. Feminist scholars argue that such erosions are inconsistent with the Qu'ran's teachings regarding justice and equality (Anwar 231). These civil society feminist groups provide further challenges by re-interpreting the Qu'ran continually to meet the realities of modernity. Compared to these institutions, the SKM is not an area for dissent or challenge. Instead, it serves to help cement the legitimacy of the ruling Singaporean party."

Abstract
This paper discusses whether Singapore?s unique blend of state-branded capitalism can survive the 21st century?s market forces. It explains how others view Singapore?s woes as an acute reflection of worldwide economic woes that were already bad before the morning of September 11th. To determine which of these conclusions is valid, the paper takes a detailed look at the island?s economy and government.
From the Paper
"According to the Economist, Singapore never really recovered from the Asian crisis of 1997. Its short recovery was followed by another recession, and in 2001 its economy shrank by 2%. Growth for 2002 was at a mere 2.2% (Economist, 3/19/2003) Growth estimates for 2003 are higher at 2.6%, accelerating to 5.3% in 2004 as the global economy is expected to recuperate. (Economist, 4/25/2003) The 2.6% forecasted rate reflects the recent outbreak of the SARS virus, before which estimates were optimistic at 3.1%. SARS has affected both regional and international travel, which has severely affected the Singapore government as it owns the state airline in addition to collecting revenues from activities related to trade."
