Forum Discussion Meg Whitman As a former heavy-hitter in the business world, Republican Californian gubernatorial candidate Meg Whitman has repeatedly stressed the need for deregulation of business sin order to increase international trade and create more jobs in the state. She claims, in what is a fairly typical Republican line, that regulation inhibits growth and therefore limits jobs, and also believes that free international trade (i.e.

trade that avoids constraints such as taxes, tariffs, and government oversight into many or most elements of business operations) will be a major boost to the state's and the country's economies. She fails to account for the fact the deregulation and increased international trade with a lack of taxes or tariffs will likely move many more jobs overseas, simply increasing the trend that has been occurring in huge numbers over the past decades.

Neither a wholly "Indian" nor a wholly "American" style of management would be acceptable in the company at first, but starting with more of an "Indian" style while making it clear that certain changes will be implemented and then implementing those changes fairly and gradually over time would lead to an effective transition to more democratic management.
