In 2009, National Skill Development (NSD) Policy was reformed to modify the vocational education system in India. The skills development and entrepreneurship policy developed in 2015 tries to solve the challenges of skill development by inspiring early signs, development and variations. The present study is based on a primary survey conducted in four Districts of Sikkim involving 600 respondents from amongst the various stakeholders and examines whether there is any significant difference in the expressed belief held by stake-holders vis-à-vis the challenges identified in the skill eco space in Sikkim. These challenges are namely resistance to relocation by Sikkim’s youth for employment, stigma against labor oriented jobs, preference for Government jobs, belief that skilling is for low academic achievers and lack of industrial opportunities and development in the State of Sikkim. The findings can be utilized for suggesting recommendations and way forward to remove these barriers for better outreach and effective implementation of various schemes by adopting suitable practices.

Companies in different countries have different corporate governance systems. One of the reasons is that the trade cost dealing in the society and other economic factors are different in different countries. View from this angle, corporate governance systems should have the value that can reduce the costs. However, observing the situations of corporate governance in the real society, we will find the reasons of formation of corporate governance systems are not so simple. Understanding the formation of different corporate governance systems, we should pay more attention to the elements like society and culture. The process of formation has relationship with legitimacy such as the company roles that the society expects, and this kind of concept forms the concept of social responsibility, and at last form the particular model of corporate governance.

The paper demonstrates that China has undergone an increasingly severe transfer of regional taxes from the central and western areas to the coastal region between 1997 and 2006, and among the taxes transferred, the enterprise income tax claimed a lion’s share. Such transfer of regional taxes resulted in an unfair distribution of tax revenue, failing to alleviate the gap between rich and poor.

In the era of knowledge economy, improving quality of labor force has great effort on enhancing innovation ability of Chinese enterprise and improving competitiveness of the whole country. Currently, the quantity of Chinese labor force isn’t enough mainly due to several reasons: firstly, population policy emphasized “quantity†rather than “quality†; secondly, the structure in labor force market is irrational; thirdly, big differences exist in labor quality between urban and rural areas; fourthly, intellectual capital investment in education and training has been far from enough. However, Intellectual Capital theory has provided a solid theoretical basis for the author to improve labor quality. It suggests setting up an active policy to promote intellectual capital investment; strengthen intellectual capital investment in education system; encourage more and more Chinese enterprises to use Intellectual Capital business model in management; and set up special founding for young generation.

The business success of “Brain Platinum†is a success of a business model based on thorough analysis of the Chinese context.
