CONCLUSION: What Drives China’s Growing Role in Africa?

| This paper intends to provide an assessment, based on fractional information, of China’s
economic involvement in Africa and to identify the forces shaping burgeoning China-Africa
economic relations. The study is undertaken against the background of a rapidly changing

Opportunities and Challenges in International Franchising - Foreign Franchises Trying to Move into the U.S.
| |
| Although franchising is growing more rapidly outside the U.S. than in our more saturated U.S. market, the U.S. remains an extremely attractive - and prestigious - market in the eyes of many foreign franchisors. Thus, one trend that is seeing renewed interest is the influx of foreign franchise systems into the U.S. While moving from the U.S. to a foreign market can be a challenge for American businesses, it can be even more challenging fro foreign operations to establish a foothold here in the States, as they deal with our more complex regulations, a serious language barrier, and the ever-competitive U.S. market. |

International Public Relations
| |
| Public relations is hard enough as it is. Trying to maintain a strong and positive relationship between companies and customers – or potential customers – is no easy task. And, that assumes that you’re carrying out your business in your own country, or your own culture. But, what happens when you know that you will soon be dealing with a foreign audience? How will you be able to navigate your company through all of the cross cultural differences that are sure to present themselves? Well, that is where international public relations comes in. |

5.5 The HIV/AIDS threat: Working Out of Poverty
| |
| Over 25 million workers are infected with HIV/AIDS, and millions
more affected by the pandemic. The ILO has calculated that the size of the
labour force in high-prevalence countries will be between 10 and 30 per cent
smaller by 2020 than it would have been without the effect of HIV/AIDS,
which poses a serious threat to economic growth and development prospects.
Macroeconomic performance is undermined by rising labour costs
associated with the pandemic, through skills shortages, sickness and absenteeism
and reduced productivity and economic competitiveness, resulting in
a shrinking tax base, less foreign investment and fewer jobs. |

V. D. The Future of China-Africa Economic Relations: FACTORS INFLUENCING THE GROWING TIES
| |
| China’s growing role in Africa is not transitory. As China-Africa economic relations are
increasingly based on trade and investment, and trade is based on more than just
commodities, the relationship is likely to expand, along with economic growth in China and
Africa. Economic relations are increasingly dominated by commercial ties rather than by aid
considerations (Box 2). |

How to Leverage the Potential of Foreign Employees for the Success of a Business
| |
| We live in a world of migration and the number of migrants crossing the borders increases daily. For a business, hiring foreign nationals can be a great asset, as they bring their unique skills, expertise, knowledge, ethics and culture. And even more, they can help a business in the global market; in fact, as the world becomes smaller and smaller a business will inevitably find itself dealing with foreign customers, clients or suppliers, whether here or abroad, and foreign employees can help it deal successfully with foreign cultures. Furthermore, foreign employees can be a source of personal and professional growth, and such growth will automatically bring about financial growth. But it is very important to understand that ... |

Newspaper problems doesn't limit value of public relations
| |
| While the closing, altering and economic struggles of newspapers is an ominous sign for the media, it puts public relations in a difficult situation. To whom do we pitch? In this article, veteran PR professional Michael Kleiner opines that this doesn't have to be the case and there is still value in and need for public relations. We must harness skills to pitch in the Internet and technological age. In fact public relations may be in a better situation than advertising to do this. |

You are too dumb to vote!
| |
| For some time now I have had the feeling that the majority of American people had so little grasp on the realities of economic, business, foreign, defense and global policies that there should be some kind of an awareness test that voters must pass before being allowed to vote. |
