By  Guoli Chen,  Xinhe Zhuang
Add to cart new
The global mobile phone market is becoming saturated, especially in developed economies where phone makers are competing for market share in an increasingly ‘red ocean’.

                          An employee of an American company with a zero-tolerance bribery policy bribes a border official in Nigeria. He does so because he fears for his own safety. Later, he tells his boss about the incident, and the boss instructs him to report the incident to the company. The employee fears that if he does so, his job will be terminated.

His solution involved an invention called the “PlayPump”, a merry-go-round that pumped water from deep under the ground every time that children spun the carrousel.
