 Liberia Publicaties
In the 1970s the results of the Open Door Policy were impressive at first sight: Liberia had the largest registered merchant fleet in the world as a result of a flag of convenience policy.
At the time of the introduction of the Open Door Policy, Liberia was characterised by a shortage of skilled labour, the lack of institutions which could check upon or supervise the arriving multinationals and an underestimation at the government level of the necessity to integrate all foreign investments in one overall development policy.
One of the most important conclusions of this study is that the disappointing results of the Open Door Policy cannot be blamed only on ignorance and the lack of knowledge on the part of Liberia at the time of negotiations with foreign investors.

 Open Door Policy - MSN Encarta
In the late 1800s, the major European powers had obtained control of important areas of China, and it appeared that the country would soon be divided into spheres of influence into which other trading nations would have no access.
Accordingly, in 1899 and 1900 U.S. Secretary of State John Milton Hay negotiated an agreement with Britain, France, Germany, Russia, Italy, and Japan that guaranteed “equal and impartial trade with all parts of the Chinese Empire” and preservation of “Chinese territorial and administrative” integrity.
The open door agreement remained the basis of U.S. policy toward China until the establishment of the Communist regime there in 1949; Japan's violations of it caused friction between that country and the United States before World War II.

Ever wonder why we don't hear a lot about Jesus knocking doors down and crashing parties?We know He went to weddings.He tended to bring funerals to a screeching halt by reviving the guest of honor.He was known to hang around with a rough lot of fishermen.Ignored the Sabbath on occasion.
That is one good reason not to open the door.Some others are not so good.If we open the door, our visitor will get a good look at how we really live.They may judge us as being too fastidious, dirty, or messy.
Jesus is not quite so particular.His door is open to everyone and the wedding feast is about to begin.2 Peter 3:9 tells us that He is not willing that any should perish, but that all should come to repentance.

 THE OPEN-DOOR POLICY:   (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-11-04)
For example, in an organization that has a policy of flexitime, the supervisor who asks "Don't you think nine o'clock is a little late to start work tomorrow?" is manipulating; this loaded question is not open to yes and no responses.
The supervisor who conveys openness acknowledges an agenda with a statement like, "I'd like you to come to work at eight o'clock tomorrow so that we can work on this budget; do you think that you can make it?" Such a request is honest, openly states the desires of the supervisor, and avoids game playing.
A published open-door policy is meaningless if the supervisor does not take the time to be available or to demonstrate a true concern for his or her people.
