LOOKING BEYOND HORIZON

We are living in a challenging time. No matter where we live, the action of one

group of people affects the living of other. The West is striving very hard to

improve living standard through technological development. We in the East,

particularly in the underdeveloped countries, cannot afford to hopelessly remain

aloof from the technological developments taking place around us. If we do so

the gap between us will simply widen making us even poorer.

For underdeveloped countries like Bangladesh, fortunately there is a silver lining

in the story. That is, instead of investing in the basic research, which is very

costly and time consuming, we can leapfrog and gainfully utilize the technology

already perfected. Yet another built-in advantage is the huge untapped human

resources.

Recognizing these two major advantages we in Flora Limited have dedicated

ourselves in upgrading the knowledge and skill of our people through adopting

the technology which has swept the modern day office through automation. The

office automation, telecommunication and use of computer have increased

efficiency to a degree unthinkable in the past.

By making good use of these technological developments Flora Limited to-day

looks beyond horizon mainly through upgrading the knowledge and skill of vast

untapped human resources.
