Every country or state has limited resources at its disposal. How they are used, depends to a large extent on the government officials. States and industries which develop quickly are states in which government pays attention to needs of the people at large and tries to meet their expectations.

Most government organisations have an inbuilt redressal mechanism and policies to prevent abuse of power and for handling of complaints. Most people are short of time and want to get their work done quickly. So they are willing to pay the extra money and do not fight for their rights. Handling complaints can also be time consuming for the government official concerned and may adversely affect his career if her or she has broken rules to favor a particular company.

In most prosperous countries, government officials go out of their way to promote the development of indigenous technology. They know that by developing a proprietory technology, the nation benefits in the long term as it is source of revenue. For example, the largest refineries in India, license technology from other companies for manufacturing petroproducts.

Big corporations take all possible measures to destroy potential competitors by spreading false rumours. If the decision makers in a country are short sighted and do not verify the facts before believing in these false rumours spread by the foreign companies, they end up destroying their own local businesses and nation as desired by the foreign companies.

On the other hand, many of the African countries are very rich in natural resources, but the widespread corruption and lack of long term vision by the leadership has resulted in high levels of poverty.

In some countries, the government encourages the use of technology for business and entrepreneurs who earn foreign exchange by developing and selling products are given incentives.
