Blawatt, who has been a visiting senior lecturer at UWI Cave Hill since 2002 and continues to guest teach in the Masters of International Business programme, based his assessment on a 2006 UWI study. He said these figures were confirmed by a recent study conducted for The Productivity Council by the Sir Arthur Lewis Institute for Social and Economic Studies. Ethics Considerations: Nurses gave informed consent at the time of interview and agreed to follow up interviews if needed.

Over the last six to eight years we’ve been studying Barbados’ manufacturing. We’ve come to the conclusion that manufacturing is a very important part of your economy. We have established clearly and unequivocally that up to 25 per cent of your economy in Barbados comes from manufacturing, he said. Different experts and pundits express different opinions on the validity of different points here. It can be very complex and confusing. At a very human level, though, people are in conflict. And the only way this can be solved is by working with each other. Those of us non-indigenous folks protesting or supporting the construction of Coastal gas link should be thoughtful and restrained, given the division in opinion among indigenous peoples and the spectre that this conflict could get worse and have even greater negative impacts.

Ken Blawatt, professor of entrepreneurship and marketing at the UWI St Augustine Campus in Trinidad and Tobago, said figures from the Central Bank of Barbados and various Government ministries were “all wrong” and the sector contributed way more than five or six per cent of the island’s economy. A University of the West Indies (UWI)?academic has gone against the grain and argued that the manufacturing sector, rather than tourism, is the single biggest factor in improving Barbados’ economy. Results: Five interrelated themes were identified that created a distinct culture of care for iOAT nurses: Ways of Knowing, Personal Investment, Leveraging Empathy, Finding Flexibility, and Collaborating to Overcome. Through creating a safe, nonjudgmental environment, nurses establish therapeutic relationships that build trust to identify client needs outside of medication administration. In turn, nurses engage in team-based problem solving to advocate for client needs. If nurses cannot find flexibility within and outside of the healthcare system to improve client engagement, tensions can arise and therapeutic relationships can be strained. So, there's a division of opinion between indigenous communities involved. And this is a division that people within those communities are obviously best to solve.

So many protests have unfolded unhindered, Cabinet ministers and high government officials have been active in trying to find solutions. Reconciliation in practice can be very challenging but it is alive and well. i] Friedman, Milton, (1970), The Social Responsibility of Business is to Increase its Profits, The New York Times Magazine, September 13, 1970 The text goes on from this point to explore a number of directions that further research might take to empower economic considerations in forecasting; the role of innovation, the entrepreneurial prerogative and competitiveness. For example, there may be a rational basis for an historical price curve, similar to the demand curve that may play in a particular sector of the economy where there is an indicated association between price and volume. Of course, this current conflict could lead onto a pathway towards greater consensus and cooperation. Crises can often lead to greater opportunities.

Almost all the Wet'suwet'en elected councils support the pipeline as so most of the other indigenous communities along the pipeline route. Many are hopeful for the job and economic development opportunities. Having reviewed and cast over the rationale of the elite and the unsupportable assumptions of classical economic thinking, the text considers the effect of the paradigm as it moves the philosophy of economics from a foundation of monetary performance to one that is more human and based as much on behavioral outcomes. The proposed model is one that prioritizes the importance of the market (Customers), the enablers (Employees), the social system (Community) and lastly the monetary (Shareholders and capitalists). It concludes with a discussion of conscious capitalism over an unfettered, pecunious and individualistic capitalism as the over-arching economic model.

Wet'suwet'en Hereditary chiefs challenge to the present routing of the Coastal Gas Link pipeline is especially difficult. The Hereditary chiefs have been recognized by the courts as having authority and standing in issues regarding Wet'suwet'en territory but the courts also did not decide specifically the extent and limits of this authority.
