9.0 Conclusions: Entrepreneurship and Small Business Enterprise Growth in Uganda
As the world turns global, many countries are emerging out of the abject poverty into wealth. South Korea and Singapore are classical examples. In the 1960's, South Korea's per capital GDP was similar to that of Uganda. South Korea is now among the developed countries. Uganda is still characterised by massive poverty. The only way to transform Uganda and many African countries is to fuel growth through business development. Given the global competition, Africa may not be able to position herself competitively as a world class competition but must foster the growth of businesses through micro and small enterprises. Many donor funding agencies have identified this and have focused their attention to this sector.
What can business and governments do to promote SMEs?
Poverty remains a major challenge to sustainable development, environmental security, global stability and a truly global market.

5.2 Is it factor accumulation or total factor productivity that drives growth in Africa?: Economic Report on Africa 2007
To investigate the link between growth and diversification, it was important to first quantify the contribution of TFP to economic growth. This section analyses the sources of growth for African countries using the standard growth accounting method, making it possible to disaggregate the shares of growth contributed by TFP, capital and labour. Growth in output is the sum of the growth in capital, labour and TFP. Capital accumulation is an essential element in the growth process, as it enlarges the economy’s capacity to produce. Increases in labour or labour force have traditionally been considered a positive factor in stimulating economic growth.
Concluding Remarks: Enhancing Africa’s Trade: From Marginalization to an Export-Led Approach to Development
In the 19th and 20th centuries, trade has by and large been an engine of economic growth for the global economy. It has also acted as an engine of growth for particular national economies -- in the 19th century, Canada and Australia and in the 20th century, Japan. In recent years, trade has acted as an engine of growth for the newly industrializing countries of Southeast Asia, the so-called "Gang of Four", namely, South Korea, Taiwan, Hong Kong, and Singapore.
Soft Skills Training Seen as Needed More Then Ever
Corporate soft-skills training is increasing as companies are experiencing global growth and cross-cultural communications challenges. Getting a handle on effective training for some "old school" management-types can be even a greater challenge.

Should Your Business Consider Franchising?
If you are serious about building a substantial business you should benchmark your progress against global industry peers not just your local competition. You will soon find that franchising offers the opportunity to build truly national and global businesses on a scale that your non-franchised competition just cannot match. Many of the worlds most successful companies such as Coca Cola, Shell, Toyota, BP, Ford, Pepsi, General Motors and of course KFC and McDonald's have built domestic and global brands using franchising as a management and marketing tool far outstripping the enterprise value of their non-franchised counterparts. A franchise network spanning national (and potentially international) markets offers better diversification and insulation from localised economic or competitive forces and early access to high-growth markets.
