Though the government pledged to cut the public deficit from 7.7% of the gross domestic product (GDP) in 2010 to 3% by 2013, thereby responding to EU Normative power (Diez, 2013), health expenditures continue to rise, since public demands are higher and more social problems are handled in the health care setting. With French budget deficit threatening France's credit rating, and therefore its membership within the EEC, novel instruments were needed. These included corporate management recipes (e.g. pay for performance contracts, patient volume targets, management by objectives, strict medical reviews and guidelines), new compensation mechanisms (e.g. activity-based accounting; a nationwide scale of health care costs) and far-reaching laws (e.g. the 2009 HPST bill). In the restructuring of health services, a French welfare elite pursued a hybrid strategy, regulating quasi-markets of care providers while creating supportive conditions for a vibrant private hospital sector and endeavored to streamline the delivery-rather than the financing-of health services.

The first part of the paper reviews individual country experience (Indonesia, Philippines, Malaysia, Hong Kong and Singapore) followed by a summary of difficulties that Managed Care has encountered. Among these are increasing public defiance, opposition by physicians and the already low costs that are unlikely to make Managed Care an attractive option.

The following paper compares a general concept, "managed care", across countries, and shows that it has gained acceptance in certain territories (e.g. Hong Kong, the Philippines), but not in others. Managed care is defined as processes or techniques used by any entity that delivers, administers and/or assumes risk for health services in order to control or influence the quality, accessibility, utilization, costs and prices, or outcomes of such services provided to a defined population (American Medical Association, 1999). The first part of the paper reviews specific experiences (Indonesia, the Philippines, Malaysia, Hong Kong, Singapore), and is followed by a summary of difficulties that Managed Care encountered in Asia. Among these are rising public defiance and physician opposition. Asian regional experiences Indonesia: Managed care as part of wider reforms Indonesia's Health Act of 1992 under Health Law number 23/1992 launched Jaminan Pemeliharaan Kesehatan Masyarakat (JPKM) or Community Health Social Security, a voluntary state-run for-profit programme to unify widely diversified insurance schemes. JPKM aimed to restore equity, capture the non-indigent population, focus on basic primary care, and conduct utilization reviews, grievance procedures and other cost and quality control measures. Payment was capitationbased (bapels were executing agencies of the JPKM similar to health maintenance organizations (HMOs) that collected monthly premiums from enrollees) and included risk-sharing agreements between JPKM and health providers.

NPM has taken root deeply in the United Kingdom. This article looks at its impact on health care markets on the performance of health care organizations and on patients. It further seeks to address whether NPM prevents wastage and opportunism in health care. And finally, this article seeks to confirm whether rationality and accountability are greater under NPM or not. This article concludes that NPM reforms have failed to deliver on their own goals. There have been significant undesirable side effects and misfits between policy announcements and NPM implementation. Still, NPM adoption in health care has contributed to changing the Anglo-Saxon model of capitalism.

The study presents all the required steps to develop a smart phone app that can predict the optimal irrigation times for a future 15 days on a sample of 80 crops at any location in the United States. The app uses a soil water balance approach together with data provided by weather sites via application programming interfaces (API). This low-cost, portable, water irrigation planner only requires the entry of both crop and sprinkler type in order to enhance greatly small farms' and private households' ability to lower their consumption of water and the associated costs.

That diversity means that it is open to reinterpretation and shifts in implementation across countries (Sahlin-Andersson, 2001; Smullen, 2007). This overview article critically investigates NPM application in various EU health care systems. NPM led to a greater focus on market forces and competition and improved information sharing and cooperation among health care networks, and changed the way care is delivered. This article also identifies significant bad fits between policy announcements and NPM implementation. NPM has taken root much more substantially in the United Kingdom (UK) than in France and Germany. The variety of capitalism and institutional systems provides an explanation for divergences in NPM implementation.

Entry strategies in the Vietnamese pharmaceutical market are under-researched. Aim. The first part of the paper provides an overview of the Vietnamese pharmaceutical market, and the second part a theoretical framework to understand the various foreign entry strategies. Methodology. Literature review and interviews with professionals. Contribution. Preference for one mode over another depends on market and company characteristics, the firm's objectives and risk aversion level. Recommendations. There are few joint ventures. Licensing and acquisition of a local drug firm appear risky owing to lack of IP rights and cultural clash. The long-term pay-offs of wholly owned subsidiaries are higher.
