[Muadib]

them need to hire some good managers. They have a brand and a marketplace, so if them need to cut or increase productivity so be it but as you say there is no reason for them to be in the red.

So mi get it...!

Comprehension is apparantly not your strong point.

Usually if something does not make sense based on your interpretation.. examine your interpretation.

Politician will tun yuh inna fool.

[Runawaybay]

In my opinion the brand and products are not marketed properly.

[Mosiah]

I think Pickapeppa already blazed that trail. (I'm assuming they make money from their small Shooter's Hill factory.) Maybe Walkerswood has too many products?

[Karl]

I hope the company can be saved and turned onto growth path. It is a Jamaican treasure...and, could become a trailblazer for other such type entites...albeit we hope those others shall be good profitable successful companies.

Who owns Walkerswood? Start there.

[Exile]

Misleading...only in terms of the company formations, pieces of approvals etc.- think they said 8 days.

[Baddaz]

the question again is, should the govt intervene in this operation... whats in it for the government and the people... who really would the govenment be helping in this instance... please can u tell me maudib or anyone for that matter...

Dem shoulda know bettah.. Paulwell warn dem..

'Jamaica is not a place friendly to investment..'

I wonder if unnuh understand the implications of that statement.. is not one coconut vendor seh suh...

Well if what the writer of the article above says is true as far as financial support is concerned the Walker's Wood enterprise had some heavyweight friends.

...however, if you are referring to our propensity to hang on to leadership positions with no outside input...even when we have clearly advanced the core cause to levels outside of our competence, then you may be right!

...as I say, "poised for take off" is a truism...it is just for us to do the right things! ...so it is for Jamaica...so it is for our football! ...and, for that matter so it is for the RBSC.

[Mosiah]

Oh, did you know that Jamaica ranks higher than T&T as a place to do business?

I guess that must have come about since Sept. 3.

Shocker!
...but, I really knew nothing about the financial strength of the company or how it was managed...all I knew was a bit of the history of the company coming from its community roots and that they made great products.

I wonder if it was a matter of...like the JFF an insular entity...whereby the community leaders cum company founders kept the reigns of management upto themselves and neither acquired the necessary additional knowledge through ongoing continuious training nor hired competent persons outside of their group/worked with competent outside experts to improve performances and strengthen management at various levels needing same?

I do not know.
It would be interesting to have someone give insight into how they progressed over the years?
