Honestly, I read this thread and can't comprehend how a civilization as advanced as the United States of America thinks that defending a binary choice of democracy is a good thing to do... It's impossible to represent a country with a few million people like that, imagine ~300M. Anyway, keep going at each other's throats for your party color... smh.

All this also means that most Portuguese managers are pretty shit at the more advanced levels of management, i.e. Strategy.

Yes, this is definitely the case here.

Thank you for taking the time to share your point of view. What I get from most of it is that the Portuguese aren't traveling enough and aren't trying to learn different perspectives and ways of doing things, and I tend to agree. I also know from my own social circle that money is almost always the culprit. It's just a snowball effect.

edit: And I blame the "cunha" culture on excess of bureaucracy that happens here.

with people still having the same mindset as back in the 80s, even young people.

Let’s set the context to fellows aged between 18 and 35, since that’s the law in Portugal for defining young people.

WTF is going on? There's so much access to information! I'm not talking about reading books, really. Why are we so behind on everything? I mean, our education isn’t that bad, aside from the overcrowded classrooms in the metropolitan areas. Our universities aren’t too shabby, and the curriculums are good... So what’s left for us to regain some momentum? I don’t know man, I just want to fly to Australia and stay there, to be honest.

Portugal is always behind 10 to 30 years. Give it some time and we might see some fires /s

I've been here for almost two years and don't think I can go back to anything else. I like the freedom of information that this idea brought to us.
