But there is a secret in achieving success in an African business. One thing that will sum up all your plans and hardships. That is being ready for changes. Changes in business environment is somewhat dangerous. You'll never know what is waiting for you. Almost everyday, there are changes happening around the continent. Sub-Saharan Africa works as a continent, no country is working for progress single-handedly. This is why changes is massive. The incapability of the African government to do intelligent business policies is also a factor. The future of any business depends on these changes. So if you want to become successful with your African business, always be ready for changes and respond to it professionally and effectively.


One of the challenges in an African business is uncertainty. This is a challenge whose ending is unknown. The lack of skills to adapt to changes is what will push a business to failures. Uncertainties in power, acceptance, production and financing are things an investor must overcome.


It is inarguable that there is a vast opportunity waiting for those who are interested in investing in Africa. But the question is, are they aware of the risks? How are they going to use their marketing strategy in the midst of corruption, financial shortage and non-civilized people. These are the areas that fluctuates up to now, even though the region has shown remarkable changes on their economy and community.


The power that the African government has can threaten business firms. Changes in government policy may ruin your business plan. And this, you need to address quickly before everything that you have worked for fades.


The acceptance of the people on foreign trades must be closely monitored. When something sounds unfamiliar to them, chances are they won't embrace it. Africans easily change their minds. A foreign business might also sound colonization to them. You have to assure your market that you are not there to abuse their natural resources.


The global financial crisis makes the African economy's future unpredictable. Maybe today, the African stock market is soaring but on the next day, weeks or months, be prepared because the African stock market might sink.


Changes on Africa's business environment is the greatest challenge that an investor will face. Everyday that you wake up is another day. If you can emulate with these changes, then you should know that you belong to Africa. Successful business people are those who can keep up and endure the changes. ]]> http://www.articledatabase.info/business/management/manufacturing-software-mie-trak-2010-has-just-been-released-which-covers-over-150-new-enhancements_9.html http://www.articledatabase.info/business/management/manufacturing-software-mie-trak-2010-has-just-been-released-which-covers-over-150-new-enhancements_9.html Tue, 13 Apr 2010 16:09:03 -0500

Training is taken very seriously in the economically emerging Southeast Asian "tiger" countries of Singapore, Malaysia, Thailand, Indonesia and Hong Kong. Government, business and employees view training and education as fundamental tools that are necessary to keep themselves, their products/services and countries competitive in an increasingly shrinking world. During this latest trip these examples brought the point home:

* The Singapore government's National Productivity Board has just launched "OJT 2000". This is a plan intended to use on-the-job training to assist smaller companies in establishing a structured in-house training program for primarily older workers. For older workers to remain productive, learning new skills is essential. The target is to encourage smaller companies, which currently spend .7% to 1.5% of their payrolls on training, to increase their expenditures to 4%.

* Larger Singapore companies with 500+ employees spend, on average, 5.2% of payroll on training.

* The announcement of "OJT 2000" was reported in a banner-headlined, 3-page, 3,500 word article in the "Strait Times", the largest circulation newspaper in Singapore.

* One of my workshop attendees commented that competition for good jobs is fierce, with 500 applicants with college degrees applying for a clerk's position. This has caused problems for training. Managers want their employees to be trained, but they are hesitant to share their knowledge with others because if they teach their subordinates too much they believe they might take over their jobs.

* Semi-skilled or unskilled manufacturing labor in Singapore is in short supply. The Singapore government has approved immigration for foreign laborers from China and Vietnam. Immigrants from other countries who want to work in Singapore, must apply for another, more restrictive work permit; or the hiring company must show a special circumstance to hire workers from other countries.

* Other problems of rapid growth are showing up in the educational system. Elementary schools have been operating on split session for some time. The early session is from 6:30 am to 12:30 pm. Children the early session have to get up very early, but have the time to participate in after-school sports or see afternoon television shows directed at the youth market. The second session is from 1:00 pm to 7:00 pm. It was not unusual to see groups of energetic children in school uniforms wearing back packs on the sidewalks or in the MRT (Metropolitan Rapid Transit) when going out to dinner. Remember, these kids get to sleep in every morning!

Other symptoms of rapid, and often unchecked, growth are how different countries deal with the mounting traffic congestion from automobiles.

Singapore prefers to control traffic in three ways:

1. The rapid transit system is superb. The longest ride costs about 70 cents (U.S. $)

2. Buying a car in Singapore is not only expensive, but sometimes prohibitive. Not only must the consumer go through the normal rigors of buying a new car, an added element enters the negotiations: getting the "best deal" on a COE, or "Certificate of Eligibility". In order to buy a new car, the consumer must competitively bid for a COE (about $26,000 US) plus pay a tax of 195% of the value of the car! Yes, that's right, a $20,000 car can end up costing about $80,000.

3. During peak traffic hours, access to central city streets are closed to automobiles with a single occupant unless you have a special permit.

Bangkok is building major toll roads to speed cars from the airport to downtown. If you think traffic is bad in your city, between 600 - 800 new cars are purchased and added to the already crowded streets of Bangkok every day. A commute trip of 10 miles often takes 2 hours.

Jakarta has recently added a fleet of new, upscale Toyota Corollas with tinted windows to the city's metered taxi fleet.

Another article will follow shortly from The Training Clinic (www.thetrainingclinic.com) about "tips and traps" of using various training activities that are effective in the US but produce unexpected results when presented in an Asian culture!

Poverty is a like a worldly dirt that Africa needs to clean. But the improvement they have made is really tremendous. This is brought by the support for the fight by different trade companies and sectors. Profit is not the only benefit that business men get by doing business in Africa, they were also able to contribute in poverty reduction.


Africans have waken up them selves from a long sleep. They started moving and improved their policies on investments and business. Transactions concerning business is a lot easier now compared to the old Africa. Thus, it produced more trades, job opportunities and increased wages, which are undeniably what African needs. Chances for a good living are now spared to poor Africans instead of dealing “exclusively” with corrupt government officials. Foreign investors benefits from Africa they way the African region benefits from them. The relationship is mutual. With the continuous improvement on investing and business climate, Africa and any African investment aspirants are ahead of a brighter future.


This progress is just a start. What happened are just baby steps from a giant island eying global competitiveness. The African government is still looking for tactics to completely eradicate poverty.


By this time, Africa is so much open for any investment ideas from inside or outside the continent. By creating more trades, they are also creating job opportunities for their people. The continent as a whole is composed of a big labor force. Africans would be very instrumental in any type of businesses if they are sent to trainings and seminars. If more investment come to Africa, there are greater chances that Africans can pull their families out of poverty. And more than that, traders and investors will gain more from their investments.


Education is another present focus of the African government. They believe that by educating people, they can step out of poverty. The government was urged to invest more on African women's education. This will defy tribal and traditional beliefs. This will drive women away from destitution because they will be educated. In the future, they will be very essential in the maintenance and growth of the continent.


Agriculture is another key to rapid rural and urban development. Individual owned agriculture business can provide source of food to Africans. It is also a juicy fruit to improve country's national health. The Africans' health condition is dreadful. Most of its people are malnourished. The government is funding the agricultural sector to address the problem in poverty and health. ]]>
