Africa needs a technology bubble
According to the WSJ, silicon valley is on the brink of another technology bubble bust like what was witnessed in 1999. According to the article the emergence of "strange" website names such as Orgoo and businesses whose sole purpose is to sell t-shirts bearing the logos of internet companies(check out Startup Schwag) is evidence of a bubble and its eminent bust. I cannot even pretend to understand the dynamics of silicon valley, so I won't even argue with the writer of the article, but I'm left wondering when will Africa expereience it's own technology bubble?
The China Bubble Thing
These two factoids won't settle the debate as to whether China's stock markets are currently in a bubble, but I thought it was worth putting them out there -- one bullish, one bearish:
HUMAN RESOURCE DEVELOPMENT AND ATTRACTING INWARD FDI
One of the characteristics of rich industrial economies is the availability of a workforce with a high level of human capital. Whether human capital has been the key driver of economic prosperity or vice-versa is still a matter of debate. Nevertheless, long time series trends in educational attainment and economic growth during the last century indicate that HRD and economic prosperity went hand in hand10. Some developing countries followed similar trends in human capital and economic growth. What was distinctive about these developing countries is that they appeared to have realised large economic benefits in attracting MNEs into host economies, and have thus mobilised inward FDI to attain rapid economic growth.
Bernanke Sacrifices the Dollar on the Altar to Save Stocks!
What do we have today? Interest rates that got lowered quickly and have hit bottom at a “range between 0% and 0.25%”, essentially zero percent. Think this is going to end any differently than producing another painful bubble that will pop? Of course not.

Self-Contemplation and Success
Take some time this week (and continue to do this process on an ongoing basis) to just sit and allow these questions to bubble around in your mind. Write down whatever comes up for you.

Eco-Friendly Packaging Materials for Online Retail
The most ubiquitous packaging materials are of course bubble wrap and peanuts. The pros and cons of both are well documented, but the most important thing to know is they are typically made from plastics (as in oil) and are not bio-degradable. With the amount of bubble wrap and peanuts used around the world each day the problem is pretty self evident.

Some Things Are Easier For Your Business in a Recession
If your business is feeling the impact of the economic downturn, think differently about how you could take advantage of the current economic circumstances. Some things are definitely more challenging, but others might actually be easier in these tough economic times.
What is a Wealth Cycle
A wealth cycle is simply shifting one investment from one sector that is over valued to another investment from another sector that is undervalued. Then you wait for that undervalued investment to become overvalued and then go through the cycle again. The Dot.com bubble of the 90's is a prime illustration of this. What the majority don't know is, this boom started way back in the early 80's at the same time when the Gold and Silver bubble was bursting. At this time most of the money was shifted out of Gold and Silver and put into emerging tech stocks and internet start ups.

Leadership Insight: The Great Turnover Bubble
It may well become the great turnover bubble of 2011. Or maybe 2012. The turnover bubble that is referenced has been created by economic conditions that began largely in 2008 but have been festering ever since. The bubble relates to a great number of people that would like to change jobs but cannot because other jobs are not available. When those jobs become available again, the bubble will burst and we will see a large migration of talent between companies and organizations.
