Economies don't operate in isolation so I see ways (whether through supplying or purchasing parts of products, through trade or capacity building partnerships) that external companies can support and provide a benefit to developing economies. But, as you understand, it's important to proceed with caution and take the time to truly understand how one's actions can benefit--or not-other economies. Jen,

Great thoughts and concerns. Economies don’t operate in isolation so I see ways (whether through supplying or purchasing parts of products, through trade or capacity building partnerships) that external companies can support and provide a benefit to developing economies. But, as you understand, it’s important to proceed with caution and take the time to truly understand how one’s actions can benefit–or not-other economies.

I wonder if there are ways in which companies could partner with local businesses to build into the economy, create jobs, and encourage independence that are still helpful to the business? I'd love to hear your thoughts.

I'm joining forces with a soon to be launched Internet business that is totally socially conscious -- I hope that others will understand the true value! With your information, hopefully consumers will begin to understand the impact they can have on a hopefully changing world of business. Some of these companies I was familiar with -- what a great idea Timberland had, witty and responsible - what better way to let their consumers know what's up? Thanks for a great post!
