Developmentalism oftentimes takes to the extreme the old adage that 'voters vote their pocketbook'. In other words, voters will vote for the person most likely to help them achieve their financial goals. Developmentalism is a theory often used to show how a third world country gains acceptance through the tacit approval by its own society by granting the State and its local leaders the opportunity to work together in developing internal market with external means. A good example of developmentalism could be Korea, a country that associates itself with capitalistic development (with the ongoing aid of the United States) but is a self-contained market that advance the national interest through internal marketplaces.
Developmentalists however often blame the problems stemming from internal markets on the very international capitalization needed to maintain and grow that internal marketplace. Dirlik (2014) writes that developmentalism "has rendered development into a horse race between nations and corporations regardless of its consequences for human welfare" (p. 31). If it is true that developmentalism careens headlong into a human welfare abyss, then such disaster is likely easily recognized by studying the effects of developmentalism on the countries that have experienced it. South Korea is one of the countries said to have prospered through developmentalism from the...
Suh and Kwon (2014) espoused the belief that a successful transformation has taken place in South Korea; from the early 1990s' until today a manufacturing-based economy was transformed into a knowledge and technology-based society. Additionally Suh and Kwon wrote that there has been (in South Korea) the establishment of a more democratic election system, along with liberalization of the media, improvements in human rights, and the establishment of a welfare system. All four items go against the grain when discussing a headlong approach to rampant developmentalism.
Research
The seeming contradiction between developmentalism being a system that rarely considers human welfare, and the results in South Korea lends itself to further research. It is proposed that further study be completed on the effects (negative and positive) of developmentalism in South Korean society. Many developmentalists believe that…

RFID was to revolutionize not just Wal-mart but the entire retailing supply chain and distribution channels, revolutionizing the value chain of entire businesses.

As a result, economic development was redefined in terms of reduction or elimination of poverty, inequality, and unemployment within the perspective of a growing economy (Mamede & Davidsson, 2003). Research indicates that entreprenuership can be both the cause and effect of economic development in the sense of wealth distribution. Countries in which wealth is concentrated in the hands of a small fraction of the population face greater difficulties in coordinating
' Indians across the political spectrum, especially the country's powerful nuclear weapons establishment, are critical of the NPT, arguing that it unfairly warps international hierarchies to the disadvantage of the non-nuclear-weapon states" (1998:15). In its efforts to balance the pressures from the international community with its own self-interests in formulating foreign policies, the position adopted by India has been starkly different than other countries. In this regard, Karp concludes that,
Marketing Research According to Green and Tool (1993) "Marketing research is the systematic and objective search for, and analysis of, information relevant to the identification and solution of any problem in the field of marketing." The main aim of marketing research is to enable the beneficiary to take some steps, some that may be risky, though with confidence hence the need for observing absolute objectivity. It is due to this need
