The Greening of Procurement Revisited
| |
| “In our rapidly evolving capitalist economies, where it is in the natural order of things for corporations to devour competing corporations, for industries to carve up and digest other industries, one emerging form of capitalism with a fork – sustainable capitalism – would certainly constitute real progress.”
From Cannibals With Forks – The Triple Bottom Line of 21st Century Business, By John Elkington (Capstone Publishing, Oxford, 1997)
Do Cannibals With Forks Constitute Progress?
So started the introduction to one of my most popular white papers titled, The Greening of Procurement: How Social Consciousness is Re-Shaping Procurement Practices.

Wanted: jobs for Africa’s youth - Diversification
| |
| The Youth Employment Network, an alliance of countries initiated by UN Secretary-General Kofi Annan in collaboration with the heads of the ILO and World Bank, recommends that governments diversify their economies and promote sectors that use a lot of workers. Many African economies still rely on the production of one or two primary commodities. They could diversify into processing these commodities or producing light manufactures, as Mauritius has successfully done. |

Entrepreneurship and the Global Economy
| |
| Entrepreneurs are the bedrock of the capitalist system, and their development has to be seen in the context of the development of societies that allow and even encourage private accumulation of capital for investment. Although traders are the foundation of a market economy, it is primarily the rise in broad-based manufacturing investment and the social division into owners and workers that distinguishes a pre-capitalist from a capitalist system. |

4.0 Diversification trends in Africa: Economic Report on Africa 2007
| |
| The diversification of African economies is one way through which the recent economic
growth achievements could be sustained. Africa’s economic transformation
can be achieved through both horizontal and vertical diversification. In addition,
such diversification will help to build competitive economies that can productively
be integrated into the global economy. Diversification is therefore a pre-condition if
Africa is to register accelerated development. The scaling-up of current real growth
to desired levels and in a broad manner can also be sustained if there is deepening in
the diversification of African economies. |

5.1 The development model should determine the optimal trade policy: Economic Report on Africa 2007
| |
| The two-stage diversification process from economic history has been registered both
in open and closed economies. The difference between the two is that the turning
point after reasonable and sustainable development has been achieved occurs at a
much earlier point for open economies compared to the case for closed economies. |

"How to Spend It"
| |
| I will stack my practical credentials as "avowed capitalist pig" up to anybody's; say, Steve Forbes. Among other things, how could one have lived in Palo Alto-Silicon Valley for three decades without "turning rabid capitalist," even if one had not been before? Likewise, today, capitalism unleashed in India and China is, I am quite certain, good for the world's prospects for some modicum of peace—and is enhancing the welfare of additional millions by the month. |

Quote: Taking African products where there’s no bias

| While more established economies begin to focus on the revenue potential of emerging economies, many of those emerging economies are also seeing the benefits of selling to each other. |

Public Sector Procurement Practice and the Principles of External Economies, Clustering and the Global Value Chain
| |
| Can the public sector effectively apply the principles of External Economies to its procurement practice?
“External economies of scale (ES) occur outside of a firm, within an industry. Thus, when an industry’s scope of operations expands due to, for example, the creation of a better transportation network, resulting in a subsequent decrease in costs for a company working within that industry, external economies of scale are said to have been achieved. With external ES, all firms within the industry will benefit.” (What Are Economies of Scale? By Reem Heakal, January 2003)

Designing for Power: Rapid Development, Scale and Usability
| |
| You want to be able to control power. You want to wield it like a weapon, or perhaps a tool, against beyond-human forces (forces of nature, commerce and the meta-human). How can we extend business into space? When will our organizations evolve to provide us with the depth needed to evolve further? What is the role of customer, organization, capitalist, super-capitalist and human being? Does negative marketing help or hurt? Some people say it does both. What are the psychological factors of failure? Why do we need organizations? |
