The Most Neglected Ingredient in Business Growth
| |
| Some 96% of all businesses fail within their first eight years. Owners who have survived great challenges know that some crucial elements protect them from fire damage. Too many, unfortunately, have neglected one element. That void can be lethal to a business.
The most neglected ingredient promoting business growth is leadership.

In Summary...
| |
| I've been working on various forms of my Master Presentation, pretty much fulltime, for the last couple of weeks. A Post yesterday started a rather vigorous discussion about success "rules" that withstand the test of time. Virtually nothing—you, me, the corporation, the nation—withstands the test of time. And one of the principal reasons is hardening of the philosophical arteries—increasingly rigid interpretations of yesterday's "success" rules. |

Wanted: jobs for Africa’s youth - Diversification
| |
| The Youth Employment Network, an alliance of countries initiated by UN Secretary-General Kofi Annan in collaboration with the heads of the ILO and World Bank, recommends that governments diversify their economies and promote sectors that use a lot of workers. Many African economies still rely on the production of one or two primary commodities. They could diversify into processing these commodities or producing light manufactures, as Mauritius has successfully done. |

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. |

4.1 Case studies on export diversification for selected African countries: Economic Report on Africa 2007
| |
| So far, diversification trends in relation to African economies indicate that different
countries have achieved varying results. The overall conclusion is that, in general,
African economies have failed to make gains beyond their initial positions in the
early 1980s. It has also been pointed out that they reacted defensively to the crises
that beset them in the 1980s. Their macroeconomic stabilization policies did not
create an environment conducive for dynamic response, as a good number of countries
in Asia and Latin America were able to do. Their defensive response as seen in
the oil factor, perpetuated the status quo and worsened it in some instances. Earlier
gains in such countries as Gabon, Nigeria and Sudan were eroded. |

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)

WUSME: Towards a new strategy for crises prevention and to create more SMEs and jobs
| |
| Many of the achievements in recent years made to facilitate business of SMEs in the world, to reduce poverty in less privileged economies have seriously been jeopardised by shrinking demand for SMEs export products, increasing prices for energy and food, falling commodity prices, significant reductions in foreign investment and a general liquidity shortage. The strong interdependence among the worlds’ economies made this a literally global economic crisis and human tragedy.
