Simple Past & Present Perfect Tense



Shallow market incites capital outflow: OJK

Reporter/Writer
Posted: Thu, April 28 2016 | 05:52 pm

Amid the government’s plan to repatriate assets worth trillions of rupiah abroad through tax amnesty, the Financial Services Authority ( OJK ) has acknowledged that the problem of a shallow market deters investors from keeping their money in the country.
Indonesia's financial markets were still very shallow that any unfavorable market sentiment would have a devastating impact, said OJK chairman Muliaman Hadad on Thursday.
"[Hence] we need to develop a climate that will not only invite capital into portfolios, but also foreign direct investment to suppress the [negative] sentiment," he said during the 2015 Indonesia Economic Report ( LPI ) launched by Bank Indonesia in Jakarta.
Over the last few years, Muliaman said, Indonesia faced the same issue of how the financial market was very easily affected by negative sentiments in the global market, leading to capital outflows.
"Because similar incidents have been repeated several times, it is time for us to allocate stronger efforts to prevent similar experiences from repeating," he went on.
Earlier, BI governor Agus Martowardojo said structural reforms in the financial market needed to support development with a sustainable financing capability. In this context, Indonesia faced the challenge of strengthening financing sources, especially long-term ones.
"Reformative policies are needed to improve the availability of long-term financing domestically and from abroad, as well as the deepening of financial markets," he underlined. ( ags )

Past Tense and Present Perfect

In today's global markets, companies have many choices to procure what they need to develop, build, and sell product. So who needs a manufacturing cluster, such as Detroit? Research by Gary Pisano and Giulio Buciuni shows that in some industries, location still matters.

Globalization hasn't made manufacturing clusters obsolete, but the geographically concentrated pockets of industry have to be smart to ensure their survival, according to new research from Harvard Business School.
Gary P. Pisano, the Harry E. Figgie, Jr. Professor of Business Administration at HBS, and researcher Giulio Buciuni, of the University of Venice Ca' Foscari, address the question of when clusters survive and when they fail in their May 2015 working paper, Can Marshall's Clusters Survive Globalization?
“I THINK PEOPLE IN GENERAL THINK WELL, THERE'S GLOBALIZATION SO THERE'S NO NEED FOR CLUSTERS”
Pisano and Buciuni looked to four industrial clusters in northeastern Italy for their answer. Italy "is a great laboratory because it's been historically organized around these very specific districts all over the country. Every area is associated with a particular industry," Pisano says.
Clusters are not a new concept, notably studied in the United Kingdom by Alfred Marshall—he called them industrial districts—in the early 1900s. Manufacturing clusters can seemingly happen in any industry in any location, from winemaking in Northern California to automaking in Detroit. Clusters typically build up around a geographic location where natural resources, an appropriately educated labor force, and a university or other research institution co-mingle.
In recent years, some economists have argued that manufacturing clusters are dying out because geographic location is less important to business success. In today's global markets, companies have many choices to procure what they need to develop, build, and sell product.
Pisano and Buciuni wanted to test the theory of the dying cluster. "I think people in general think well, there's globalization so there's no need for clusters," Pisano says. "What we came to is it really depends. It's not all or one.
