Corporate Responsibility and the Environment
| |
| As corporations have got bigger and bigger, they have damaged the environment in different ways. The exploitation of the world’s resources through overmining, overfarming and overfishing is putting our future in doubt. As these shortages influence the market, corporations will have no option but to seek other ways of doing business. As marginal lands become deserts, fossil fuels run dry and fish stocks deplete, the necessity of a sustainable environment will become obvious. What we want is for companies to realise this obligation now, before it is too late. |

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

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)
