4.1 Institutions, markets and development: Working Out of Poverty
One of the leading thinkers about the importance of institutions and rules to making markets work for development, Nobel laureate Professor Douglass North, has explained that societies evolve institutions to “reduce uncertainty by providing a structure to everyday life”. He argues that this is essential to organizing the productive division of labour and that “institutions affect the performance of the economy by their effect on the costs of exchange and production”. He also stresses that many of the rules guiding daily behaviour are informal and that effective institutions for governing markets are a blend of socially accepted norms and laws underpinned by shared values.

4.1 Diversification trends at the subregional level: Economic Report on Africa 2007
The general picture of the continental performance that was shown in figure 4.1 masks the gains and losses made at the subregional and country levels. Figure 4.3 gives the situation at the subregional level and it compares five subregions defined around some of the RECs. In 1980, the most diversified subregions were COMESA and ECOWAS. The least diversified was CEMAC with SADC and North Africa in between. By 2002, the diversification gains at the subregional level had changed, with the most significant gains made by SADC, which is now the most diversified subregion on the continent. It is followed by COMESA and North Africa. CEMAC has remained the least diversified subregion.

Teleservices Business Process Outsourcing: Want to Go North or South?
Business process outsourcing of teleservices-lead generation, lead qualification and lead nurturing-generally goes in one of two directions: north or south. North is good. A best-practice teleservices firm closes the gap between marketing and sales to create sales-ready opportunities needed to drive revenue. South is not so good. Unfortunately, many companies have had negative experiences with teleservices firms that deliver so-called leads when they lack agreed-upon qualifying criteria. I would like to take this opportunity to differentiate between the two and to affirm the value of teleservices outsourcing when executed correctly.
