    Fiscal policy refers to use of government revenue collection and expenditure to influence its economy. Fiscal policy targets a country’s budget of its economic activities. Government can adjust its spending and taxation levels through changing the income distribution, resource allocation or level of aggregate demand and economic activity. In the context of Brazil, in 1970s, the government put some stringent penalties to regulate its imports. The government kept the import tax and penalties high. To implement the policies, the government applied tax deduction on imports, for instance, a Brazilian resident who imported intangibles like knowhow, software and royalties would be subject to withholding tax from remittances, this was equivalent to 25% of an individual registered capital. If a Brazilian taxpayer bought software from abroad, worth £100, the seller would be receiving £15 while the £85 would be remitted to the government.

What we found was an overwhelmingly charismatic company that not only puts down its values in ink, but also strictly abides by them. Much to our surprise, a huge chunk of their thick annual report for 2002 was an honest listing of all the threatening factors that stand in the company's way rather than its exceptional rankings in its sector. In this paper, we will focus specifically on Wells Fargo's leadership, company culture, SWOT analysis, and financial performance analysis. We will try to link our findings to Jim Collins's book as a way to prove that the company has really made the jump from good to great.…
