This document provides an overview of business statistics and trends in Africa. It summarizes that Africa is experiencing strong economic growth, with GDP growth over 5% annually across many countries driven by commodity and infrastructure investment as well as a growing consumer market. However, Africa faces the challenge of providing infrastructure and jobs for a rapidly growing population. Entrepreneurship is seen as key to meeting these challenges by creating jobs at scale through private sector growth.

• Consumer expenditure in SSA
equaled nearly $600 billion in
2010, accounting for almost eight
percent of all emerging-market
spending, and is expected to reach
nearly $1 trillion by 2020.
• Consumer spending in South
Africa and Nigeria accounts for 51
percent of SSA's total expenditure.
• Poverty in SSA is decreasing
rapidly—from 40 percent in 1980 to
less than 30 percent in 2008—and is
expected to fall to 20 percent by 2020.
• By 2050, almost 60 percent of
people in SSA will live in cities,
compared with 40 percent in 2010.
This means 800 million more people
will live in urban environments.
• By 2012, over 50 percent of all
Africans—or more than 500 million
people—will own a mobile phone.
By 2014, this portion is expected to
increase to 56 percent (more than 600
million people), giving Africa one of
the world’s highest mobile usage rates.
Nigeria... Yes, it's big, ugly, dangerous, poor, too big, too hot, too rainy. And it's Africa's biggest country and economy, so the potential for startups and entrepreneurs is huge.
During our trip to Lagos to attend the Mobile West Africa 2014 conference, we listened to the speakers, met the key players of the local tech ecosystem, and were amazed, just like all the other emerging markets we explore, by the creativity, the will, and the startups we saw.
Take the trip with us to dive into Nigeria's startup scene. As usual, we love to look back in time to see what are the milestones explaining why the country is where it is today. Oddly enough, Nigeria has long been a very isolated country, with few exports else than natural resources.
Since Nollywood and the most creative movie industry of the continent, it's changing.
Despite the kilometric list of challenges the country is facing, a lot of spots and startups are to be discussed. Wecyclers, BudgIT are among the secret gems we discovered in Lagos, and for sure, there's more than that.
The Promise of a Better Tomorrow
The continent’s long-term growth prospects are strong, propelled by both external trends in the global economy and internal changes in the continent’s societies and economies.

Cracking the Workplace Discipline Code Main.pptxWorkforce Group
Cultivating and maintaining discipline within teams is a critical differentiator for successful organisations.
Forward-thinking leaders and business managers understand the impact that discipline has on organisational success. A disciplined workforce operates with clarity, focus, and a shared understanding of expectations, ultimately driving better results, optimising productivity, and facilitating seamless collaboration.
Although discipline is not a one-size-fits-all approach, it can help create a work environment that encourages personal growth and accountability rather than solely relying on punitive measures.
In this deck, you will learn the significance of workplace discipline for organisational success. You’ll also learn
• Four (4) workplace discipline methods you should consider
• The best and most practical approach to implementing workplace discipline.
• Three (3) key tips to maintain a disciplined workplace.
Implicitly or explicitly all competing businesses employ a strategy to select a mix
of marketing resources. Formulating such competitive strategies fundamentally
involves recognizing relationships between elements of the marketing mix (e.g.,
price and product quality), as well as assessing competitive and market conditions
(i.e., industry structure in the language of economics).

19. 2. Commodities & Resources
• Global demand for commodities rising
• China in particular:
– Africa’s largest trading partner (from $6.5B in 2000 to
$166B Sino-African trade volume in 2011! )
– Voracious appetite for resources e.g. in 2009 China
consumed 1.508B tonnes of coal &1.537B tonnes of
iron ore
– China’s demands for natural resources far surpass her
capacity to produce the same
– Africa is well poised
20. 2. Commodities & Resources
• Agriculture is big
• Agriculture employs 60% of Africans
• Africa has 60% of the world’s uncultivated arable
land
• Food security is already a concern and will be a
major concern in the future
24. 3. Consumer
• From 2005 to 2008, consumer spending across the
continent increased at a compound annual rate of
16%
• Estimated 128 million households with discretionary
income by end of decade
• More than half of African households will have
discretionary spending power by 2020
• Africa’s top 18 cities will have a combined spending
power of $1.3 trillion by 2030
• 221 million basic-needs consumers will enter the
market by 2015

28. The solution?
• Government/public sector can’t move fast
enough, scale far enough fast enough
• The entrepreneur is the solution
• Entrepreneurship Culture + Innovation Culture =
Startup Culture – [SC = EC + IC]
• Private sector has the potential to create jobs at scale
• Kenya’s future, Africa’s future is in our hands
• Patriotic Entrepreneurship – You owe it to your
yourself, your family, your nation & your
continent, even the world to succeed at your business
