Grape expectations: New Zealand's wine industry goes from strength to strength
Article Abstract:
New Zealand's wine industry has in the past decade established an international following and won a host of awards, but only now is it turning seriously to exports. Parts of the island nation are ideal for wine grapes, with a range of microclimates, the sea nearby, and excellent latitudes. It is best known for its Sauvignon Blancs and other white wines, which can compete with the best in quality but have long lagged in quantity. A bumper crop this year may change that, but is also likely to force prices into line.

Let there be cash: reforms spur growth of small companies
Article Abstract:
India's 1991 economic reforms made possible the meteoric growth of small companies such as software maker Mastek. The changes made it possible for firms with little access to loans to tap the stock market for capital, which combined with an overall improving business climate to boost growth both domestically and internationally. The Indian software industry grew 42% in the year ending Mar 1994, and predicts 60%-70% growth annually for some years to come.
