Business linkages between large enterprises, such as transnational corporations (TNCs) and local suppliers can be a channel for the transfer of technology, knowledge and skills to host economies.
This can enhance the competitiveness of developing countries and help them to capture the opportunities for increased trade and investment brought about by globalisation and economic liberalization. Successful business linkages involve more than simple matchmaking activities between large and small firms. It depends on commitment of all partners - governments, large firms, SMEs and their support agencies.
To succeed as an entrepreneur, you have to look at what entrepreneurs do, the road they travel and follow them.
The path entrepreneurs travel is what distinguishes them from regular business owners.

This is the second of three presentations delivered at an innovation workshop for the Greater Tygerberg Partnership, a non-profit organisation facilitating socio-economic growth in the northern region of Cape Town, in July 2016. This particular deck looked at four innovation theories and methodologies. Like many of my presentations it requires a talking head in front to fully explain. Hopefully, when viewed with the accompanying deck on innovation tools and processes, a viewer will be ale to discern the main themes and points of the workshop. (The third deck in the workshop was just an introduction to the workshop).

This report adds to research on the cocoa–chocolate chain. It specifically assesses the issue of
market concentration within the chain, and discusses possible implications for competition
law and policy. The study, which builds on synergies between UNCTAD’s Commodities
Branch and Competition and Consumer Policies Branch, is part of a broader initiative within
the Commodities Branch aimed at enhancing market information and transparency in the
commodity sector.

Study on the costs, advantages and disadvantages of cocoa certification commi...Ira Kristina Lumban Tobing
Over the last decade the importance of social, environmental and economical issues in the cocoa sector has increased considerably. As a consequence, cocoa certification has been placed at the centre of an international debate amongst the cocoa community.
At this moment, there seems to be no consensus on whether certification is positive for farmers or not. Certification is considered by some as an adequate tool to promote sustainability in the cocoa value chain and to improve the livelihoods of cocoa farmers. Other actors involved in the sector seem to be less optimistic on the net benefits that certification offers at farm level and highlight the burden that it can bring in terms of required investments.
In order to provide more clarity to this debate, KPMG was commissioned by ICCO to conduct a study on the costs and benefits of certification, comprising both a quantitative and a qualitative analysis which aim to elicit the costs, net benefits, advantages and disadvantages of cocoa certification.

Analysis of Cocoa Beans Processing And Quality in Post Harvest in South East ...Ira Kristina Lumban Tobing
The best perspective for a farmer would be to create a market for fermented beans in Sulawesi and to create an additional value for the cocoa beans with the implementation of the fermentation on farm-level. The key to maintain a good quality of cocoa beans in the whole value chain is to link all the stakeholders to each other.
