- Africa has experienced economic growth in the post-WWII period, but has lagged behind other regions like Asia. Nigeria is used as a case study.
- Regression analysis of World Bank data on Nigeria finds that factors like infrastructure, human capital, policy uncertainty, and corruption negatively impact foreign direct investment.
- For Africa to have sustained economic growth, it needs continued improvements in areas like democratic governance, economic policies, infrastructure, education, and reducing security issues like terrorism. Attracting foreign investment through competitive business environments will also be important.

Africa has infinite potential. With numerous resources, an improving business climate and better economic governance, the numbers showing growth have been very positive. This presentation covers topics that speak on Africa's growth and where it can go. Here's a few stats that show how well the continent is doing:
A report from the African development bank said 33% of Africa's countries have GDP growth rates higher than 6%.
The costs of starting a business dropped upwards of 66% over the last 7 years.
The continent's middle class is growing at a very quick rate - approximately 350 million Africans now earn between $2 and $20 a day.
The share of the population living below the poverty line in Africa has dropped from 51% in 2005 to 39% in 2012.
Africa's collective GDP was $1.6 trillion in 2008, which was roughly equal to Brazil and Russia's GDP.

Case of East Asia
Discussion
The economic success of the Asian Tigers resulted from their own efforts. Each country largely followed the Japanese model of export-led development: they began with exports of the cheapest products, educated their citizens so that they would be knowledgeable workers, and then increased the value of the products that were being exported. Today, South Korea, for instance, is the home of technology giants Samsung and LG, both of which have benefited immensely from government policies that promoted education. Singapore, meanwhile, has become a global trading and banking hub-another example of expertise in a high-value industry.

Understanding User Needs and Satisfying ThemAggregage
https://www.productmanagementtoday.com/frs/26903918/understanding-user-needs-and-satisfying-them
We know we want to create products which our customers find to be valuable. Whether we label it as customer-centric or product-led depends on how long we've been doing product management. There are three challenges we face when doing this. The obvious challenge is figuring out what our users need; the non-obvious challenges are in creating a shared understanding of those needs and in sensing if what we're doing is meeting those needs.
In this webinar, we won't focus on the research methods for discovering user-needs. We will focus on synthesis of the needs we discover, communication and alignment tools, and how we operationalize addressing those needs.
Industry expert Scott Sehlhorst will:
• Introduce a taxonomy for user goals with real world examples
• Present the Onion Diagram, a tool for contextualizing task-level goals
• Illustrate how customer journey maps capture activity-level and task-level goals
• Demonstrate the best approach to selection and prioritization of user-goals to address
• Highlight the crucial benchmarks, observable changes, in ensuring fulfillment of customer needs
