Alex Harrington – Economist (New Zealand):
Alex Harrington says that if you want to become an economist, think carefully about the subjects you choose to take at university. “In your degree you are always going to have options, so make sure you do papers that give you opportunities to write and present your work.
“I started my degree doing economics, history and philosophy as part of a BA at Victoria University and then narrowed it down into majoring in economics, where I eventually went back for Honours. There were some good benefits of having done an arts degree. It got me writing a lot more than I would have done in a commerce degree, and being able to write well is important.
“A number of tutorials required me to get up and present to people. I’m not the kind of person who can stand up at the drop of a hat in front of an audience. But as an economist, being able to present your work to colleagues is a big part of the job, so learning how to do it at university was invaluable.”
Alex did, however, learn a few things the hard way on his path to becoming an economist. “I did get a little bit of bad advice when I was deciding what subjects to take at high school. Someone told me not to worry about calculus in seventh form, which meant later on I had to do catch-up. Calculus plays an important role in economics and as I went on I found myself struggling."
It all worked out well in the end and Alex has been working at Treasury for nine years, where he is a senior economist who works with a variety of people, all from different educational backgrounds. “I work with a good bunch of talented individuals with a range of skill sets. There are a lot of economists who come from accounting backgrounds, but also there are philosophy, geography and even engineering graduates.
“If you get the right training from the beginning, you can really excel in this role. And then you can get on with providing advice to try and help make New Zealand a better place.”

The Global Management Challenge: China vs the World
The global balance of economic power is shifting. Chinese managers are setting the management agenda for China and are poised to do so for the rest of the world, and managers in Europe and North America would do well to pay attention, according to a report commissioned by The Institute of Leadership and Management (ILM).
This research has identified some significant differences starting to emerge between Chinese and Western managers, and provides some important lessons for us all to learn.
What Western managers need to learn, and learn quickly.
Know the competition
Our perception of Chinese managers remains rooted in the past. China is still seen by most managers as a society whose economic strength relies on low costs, long hours and tough management. In fact our research suggests that China is starting to develop a distinctive and highly effective management culture – sophisticated, very commercial, innovative and ambitious. Western economies risk losing out in the same way they did to Japan in the 1970s if we do not take the Chinese management challenge seriously, and react accordingly.
Get your priorities right
It is apparent from our research that Western managers do not necessarily practice what they preach. Overwhelmingly they subscribe to a management paradigm that emphasises positive features, such as getting things done, customer focus, good working relationships and communication. However, and very worryingly, the areas the British, French and US managers identifi ed as the most important are not the areas in which they felt they performed most strongly. It seems that we do the less important things well, and the most important things less well.
Invest in development
However, despite scoring our management practices the same or lower than the Chinese, we do not identify any clear management weaknesses or development needs. Meanwhile, despite scoring themselves highly, the Chinese stand out as being modest about their performance, identifying several weaknesses and areas for improvement. The Chinese managers we surveyed come across as well educated and far more ambitious than those in the West – although we seem happy with mediocrity, they are not, and they are doing something about it. In contrast with the Chinese, the UK management population appears under-qualifi ed, under-developed and less interested in improving their knowledge and performance.
Get ready for a new style of Asian management
Chinese management doesn’t appear to conform to simple cultural models, and clearly draws from Western – especially US – management theory and practice. However, there are some subtle but significant differences of emphasis and we need to be alert to an emerging Chinese way of managing (just as we had to learn about the Japanese way). We will need to learn from their different perspective and also to understand the potential impact this will have on future economic relationships.
