State’s part in earning top dollar

By MICHAEL JOHN UGLO
RESPONSIBLE players in the State’s structure should account for all activities and developments taking place in PNG.
It is a matter of taking stock of all activities under their care and ensuring they are done in the correct way possible for the wellbeing of the state and its people. This will earn respect and trust from within and abroad thus boosting investor confidence to take this nation into being an economic super-highway in the Pacific.
We have such untapped and resource potential like tourism that are continuously being mishandled stemming from ignorance, arrogance, pride and abuse.
A continuous stream of activities and processes is resembled in a mode of time and voltage or current to affix values so it carries an identity. That is a sampled data of quantisation that outputs and throughputs a digital data from an analogue status. With the digital data availability, it can use the base numbering systems as hexagonal, octagonal or even binary to transform data for convenience for economic use, be it economic, security, technology, health or any other form of use.

State’s role in incentivisation
Tax breaks and subsidies are two areas of paramount importance in running the economic affairs of the people in a state. It has direct effects on the levels of production. The levels of production is very important in this discussion because it nurtures a product to attain quality and reputation that can bring in so much money. The most economical product has to take priority over one that is not.
The levels of production play a very important role. The levels of production go from experimental to development, test, preproduction and production levels. From the two initial stages of levels as experimental to development there is a lot of freedom and accessibility so rules can be made, tried and modified. However, as the level increases it is more refined so fewer people can manage at those stages from test and preproduction until the first production.
The most important tool that can interface those stages would be the use of systems and application programming whether it is self-configuring in a distributed system or is processible without a system clock generated by an astable devise with oscillators as in a square wave of two distinct signals of high and low signals.
When detection and acknowledgement as in a handshaking in two electronic devises, the production level can be synchronised and effec tive communication is established. Whether working in processes that can be manipulated at the nodes with cluster data and relations therein established for a variety of options available to synthesise a semantic network as determined by syntactic rules stipulated by compilers and the programming language.
The production of quality goods can come about from the above levels of production because this is where world class products can be derived with the state’s support.
Everyone working in the state agencies and structures will be accounted for in a digitally controlled monitor to measure their productivity to see when they are suitable or unqualified for the job. This is where all wastages are generated to shock the state with huge corruptions of all sorts emanate. Electronically embedded charge carriers to inform master file in a server master file information centre relayed to critical stake holders will hold everyone to account. This is where production is monitored and reward individual who can contribute to those performances as required under the bylaws

Goods and services incentivisation
The above brings us to this next stage of discussion that come in three parts as identified by Paul Robin Krugman a distinguished American and professor of Economics at the Graduate Centre of the City University of New York and a columnist for the New York Times.
What inspires average people to work harder, push for more and achieve goals is the inspiration that comes from within.
The three types of inspiration as he pointed out are economic, social and moral. When people are properly rewarded, socially happy and uphold values that are morally right then, they perform to the best of their abilities, or do things they otherwise would not.
The computer programmes in setting constraints to direct the process to relay a procedure call as in an interrupt, and taking that as an input to a process to do a parameter passing to produce an address for the next process, is a corrective tool available to automate a self-adjusting system so-called an expert system.
Under the objective lens of the digital watch, this is the system that needs to be installed in every state entity so all the efforts of the workers are recognised and rewarded according to their performance that speaks about their qualities.
This area for so long has been wittingly or unwittingly ignored because of our inability to devise mechanisms to have this in place to account for our day to day operation and that operation has to be appropriately measured.
If state agencies take heed of the technology discussion in this series based on Dessicates (Digitalised Economic Structures Synchronising Institutions Capacity Advancing Top Earning Space) then we will not lose track leading to prosperity. As is seen time again in this word, life without a target/plan is a tragedy.
Next Friday we will look at robust growth and the production technology.

Toshiba shuts the lid on laptops

THE Japanese giant Toshiba has sold its final stake in the personal computer maker Dynabook.
It means the firm no longer has a connection with making PCs or laptops.
Sharp bought 80% of Toshiba’s personal computing arm in 2018 for $36m (£27m), and has now bought the remaining shares, Toshiba said in a statement.
Toshiba’s first laptop, the T1100, launched in 1985. It weighed 4kg and worked with 3.5 inch (8.8cm) floppy disks. It was launched at first only in Europe with an annual sales target of 10,000 units, according to the Toshiba Science Museum website.
In 2011 Toshiba sold more than 17m PCs but by 2017 this had fallen to 1.9m, reported Reuters at the time.
In 2016, it had ceased making consumer laptops for the European market, focusing only on hardware for businesses. Recent years have been difficult for the conglomerate: in 2015, the firm posted a full-year loss of $318m.
That same year its president and vice-president resigned after an independent panel found the company had overstated its profits for the previous six years.
In 2019, it wound up its nuclear business NuGen in the UK after failing to find a buyer for it.
Consumer demand for laptops has soared in the last few months because of the Coronavirus pandemic and global lockdowns, but overall, the market for personal computers has been tough for quite a while, said analyst Marina Koytcheva from the firm CCS Insight.
“Only those who have managed to sustain scale and price (like Lenovo), or have a premium brand (like Apple) have succeeded in the unforgiving PC market, where volumes have been falling for years,” she said. –BBC
