Napoli was a driving businessman and manager intent on making his company succeed in the Indian market. Unfortunately, manifesting that company's persona, Napoli was intent on doing things his way despite the country preferring different methods. Part of Napoli's intentions, for instance, were to produce standardized units rather than to custom-design as clients wished. Contrary to other Indian markets, he also intended to outsource, and his manner to employees failed to take into account Indian mores and culture. Other challenges that Napoli was faced with were the burgeoning tax laws and the increased costliness of the business. He was also not receiving help from the main company. Napoli, as a result, was frustrated and ready to give up. The main reason that he failed to succeed, however, was due to his inflexibility and rigidity in dealing with the Indian culture.

A very contentious issue arising within public domain is that of compensation and its repercussions on overall society. Over the past 3 decades executive compensation has ballooned while the average worker continues to see only modest gains in income. The average annual earnings of the top 1 percent of wage earners grew 156 percent from 1979 to 2007; for the top 0.1 percent they grew 362 percent (Mishel, Bivens, Gould, and Shierholz 2012). In contrast, earners in the 90th to 95th percentiles had wage growth of 34 percent, less than a tenth as much as those in the top 0.1 percent tier. Workers in the bottom 90 percent had the weakest wage growth, at 17 percent from 1979 to 2007. If inflation averaged just 2% a year over this period, the gains of the bottom 90% would be negative. In 2007, average annual incomes of the top 1 percent of households were 42 times greater than in¬comes of the bottom 90 percent, and incomes of the top 0.1 percent were 220 times greater. This is an increase of 1400% and 4700% respectively since 1979.
