3.1 The public sector: Training priorities, resources and reorientation
"While there is long history of poverty-focused training in developed industrial economies, it is still relatively rare in the large majority of developing countries where most of the poor live" (Malik, 1996:46). This seems particularly ironic given that most of the world's poor live in developing countries. The following discussion looks at why public sector training priorities continue to favour non-poor groups. We shall focus in particular on the design of poverty reduction programmes, overall resource availability and competing claims over training resources from other sectors and groups.

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.

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.

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)

MARKETING YESTERDAY, TODAY AND TOMORROW FOR BUSINESSES DEVELOPMENT.
Marketing concept has evolved over the years. It has gone through some sort of evolution to where we are today.

Social Media - One Man's Definition!
The definition of social media is that these are the foremost internet based tools to disseminate and exchange information among people. It is the term used to describe social interaction activities using computer, web and telecommunications technology. It differentiates itself from industrial media by virtue of the fact that the cost of the tools necessary to participate is fairly low and allows all who want to access information or disseminate it, to do so relatively cheaply. On the other hand, examples of industrial media are printing presses, radio and television. Industrial media can be considered funnels that facilitate access to, and movement of huge quantities of information, whereas a website is the information container. Narrowly focused websites can be seen as exits from the vast space of industrial media channels. Further....
