Vision 01
The world as a collection of vast amount of phenomena continuously occurring is too complicated to be managed. So is the field of international development assistance.
Information technologies (IT) have been making progress rapidly.
It is said that this progress does not only mean progress in technical specifications, such as speed and scale, but also progress in interface between technologies and human beings.

Is the shift from labour-intensive to capital-intensive modes of production for liberating as many people as possible from hard work, or for improving profitability?
Whichever may it be, some areas of work in an organisation still remain labour-intensive.
If any solution to those labour-intensive areas can be found, it seems to be something profit-making.
When considering establishment of improved institutions in developing countries, it seems worthwile to explore current practices and keep precise records of them, which will be made use of later analyses, for example, comparison of productivity with the same type of organisations in developed countries.
By the way, is what is labour-intensive at all evil for our society??? Shoud that be eliminated???
