TRADITIONAL CORPORATION
You have two cows.
You sell one and buy a bull.
Your herd multiplies and the economy grows.
You sell them and retire on the income.
AN AMERICAN CORPORATIONYou have two cows.
You sell one and force the other to produce the milk of four cows.
You are surprised when the cow drops dead.
A FRENCH CORPORATIONYou have two cows.
You go on strike because you want three cows.
A JAPANESE CORPORATIONYou have two cows.
You redesign them so they are one-tenth the size of an ordinary cow
and produce twenty times the milk.
You then create clever cow cartoon images called 'Cowkimon'
and market them World-Wide.
A GERMAN CORPORATIONYou have two cows.
You re-engineer them so they live for 100 years, eat once a month,
and milk themselves.
A BRITISH CORPORATIONYou have two cows.
Both are mad.
A SWISS CORPORATION
You have 5,000 cows and none of which belong to you.
You charge others for storing them.
A CHINESE CORPORATIONYou have two cows.
You have 300 people milking them.
You add water and melamine to increase the milk.
You claim full employment and high bovine productivity.
AN INDIAN CORPORATIONYou have two cows.
You worship them.
A MALAYSIAN CORPORATIONYou have two cows.
You signed a 40-year contract to supply milk at RM0.06 per litre.
Then midway through, you raised the price to RM0..60 or you cut the supply.
When the buyer agrees to the new price, you change your mind again and now want RM1.20.
The buyer decided you can keep the milk and they go look for milk that comes from recycled cows or the cow urine instead.
Your two cows retire together with the Prime Minister.
And last but not least,
A SINGAPOREAN CORPORATIONYou have two cows.
One cow-peh and one cow-bu.
