Abstract

“I was following Abu and Mohammed in the jungle, under the hot sun and with great humidity, unaware of where we were going. They said they had the solution for me. Behind some tall branches hiding our view, we stepped to a place from where we could see a quarry. Abu personally knew the local workers who agreed to make the spare part for me in 2 days for 10 $, 1/100 of the shipping cost from Greece”. If not because of loyalty and a sense of engagement, then why assist a foreign “boss” save time and money?
