Right after the Global Financial Crisis, Iceland’s financial system is the first victim in Europe suffered and badly impacted, causing the entire financial eco-system in the country meltdown in less than a month. While the government are still struggering to seek for right solution to restore back the consumer trust and fix the weaken link, Dell has launched the second impact to worsen the economic situation in the EU region on 9th January.

The company has decided to cut off its 1,900 employees in its Limerick factory, located in West of Ireland, and move part of its operation to Porland. This is part of the recent restructuring plan worth $3billion announced by Dell during eve of Year 2008.

Dell is currently the second largest company in Ireland, and also the largest export entity in the country. This move carried out by Dell will directly impacted the income of more than 2,000 families in the country, the supply chain and SMI of the countries, and also indirectly reducing the taxation income of the local authority.

Yesterday when I attending a talk from one of the Corporate Guru in Singapore, Dr. Mah, he strongly pointed out that in the economic crisis, alot of people has already know fact that crisis = opportunity and a large group of the experienced crisis victims in past have already prepared for the worst, and start to taking aggresive actions towards this. However, the important challenge of the personal in seeking for opportunity, and seek to become the next millionaire in this crisis must take good considerations on the point of risk profile, trust and value created by the company that the person is directly investing in, and most important fact is understand self awareness and self goal setting. A clear goal will speak for itself to drive you, to guide you and to inspire you to cruise through this moment.

So, what is your goal for this golden opportunity?:)
