The education system is failing Latvians and unless dramatic changes are made, the outflow of young talented people will continue for years. It is holding Latvia back from reaching its high potential and changes need to be made promptly. Communication techniques are ineffective and management practices being employed in Latvian businesses are fear management tactics at their worst. The local business owners are plain and simple GREEDY. (PRWeb Jan 25, 2006)
