Branding: The Competitive Edge in a “Flattening World”
If you own or work in a mid-sized company, you know only too well what author Thomas Friedman is talking about in his book entitled “The World Is Flat.” You know the competitive landscape no longer has a horizon. You can no longer enjoy the “friendly competition” of similar-sized or like-minded firms competing with you regionally or nationally. In fact, many mid-sized companies dominated domestic markets simply because global competitors couldn’t get here. But technology has hit full stride. While five years ago, global competition may have seemed like a nagging fly that wouldn’t go away. Today, it is a reality.

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.
How to Make a Start

Selecting the right talent
There is more to moving an organization forward than hiring people who are nice to have around. Global competition demands an entirely different focus for hiring, selecting and training employees. Talent has to be the main driver if competition is to be achieved.

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.
What If I Wait For the Market to Improve?
Whether you buy foreclosures, short sales, or any other type of investment properties, these will likely be distressed in one form or another. Otherwise, your competition will be intense. In my real estate investment mentoring program, I teach that the better a house “shows,” the quicker and higher it will sell. My students know how I feel about properties that look and smell poorly. They will tell you that it is the ‘look and smell of opportunity.’
