Jean Claude Bastos de Morais believes it’s the only way for African innovators and trendsetters to succeed. The private sector of Africa has also a lot to contribute, apart from the governments. Hopefully, African countries will spread their wings in the international market like China.

Nigeria is an oil producing nation which have been relying heavily on oil revenue for its economic well being. Oil depletes and its price can crash making dependence on oil as a mono means for the country’s future futile. Information and communication technology (ICT) on the other hand has impacted the economic growth of various nations such as India. ICT seems to be a key factor in stimulating the development of a country’s productivity across most sectors of the economy and ensuring global competiveness and a move to a New Economy. This Paper examines if a causal relationship exists between ICT and economic wellbeing (GCI) and if ICT can offer a way forward for Nigeria to move from oil based to service and product based economy. The paper also conducts an empirical analysis to find out if oil producing nations experience better growth against ICT innovative nations using 10 countries. The results of the analysis support the believe that ICT led development and of the existence of a causal link between ICT and economic growth and non-existence of a causal link between oil production alone and economic development.
Africa is making the right choices for itself, even though some of these may not be well strategized or well planned. Africa need to avoid repeating mistakes, and to prepare for the coming years with a vision and agenda that will make sure Africans claim their share of the global fortunes in near future.

The 28th African Union Summit declared “Harnessing the Demographic Dividend through investments in youth” as its theme, which connects the “Agenda 2063” that offers a comprehensive development vision for Africa. Regardless, African youth faces numerous challenges and opportunities in the fields of skills training, technology, entrepreneurship, agribusiness, advocacy, and political involvement. Hopes that Africa’s dramatic population bulge may create prosperity seem to have been overdone. It is time for development economists to look beyond the stylized facts to the dire realities of Africa’s frustrated youth and burgeoning informal economies. Although development economists talk about a demographic dividend for the continent of Africa, however, what the continent has now is not a ‘dividend’ but a youth population ‘bulge’.

Socialism with chinese characteristics and global superpower aspirantM S Siddiqui
In a world comprising a diverse array of countries, each with its own complex, dynamic, and evolving system, there can be no one-size-fits-all development path. The Thought builds on and further enriches Marxism-Leninism, Mao Zedong Thought, Deng Xiaoping Theory, the Theory of Three Represents, and the Scientific Outlook on Development. It represents the latest achievement in adapting Marxism to the Chinese context.

The startup scene in China –especially in Chengdu– has been unknown to most of the Western world. Until today. Now, it’s the most exciting time to generate opportunities for growth-stage companies, helping them expand internationally and meet with top corporations, investors and government officials who are hungry for innovation and cutting-edge technologies. This is an in-depth analysis of the Chinese market which shows why Startupbootcamp launched its third Scale program in Chengdu with a mission to support more international, growth-stage companies to expand to China.

Key Termand Why You Are Interested in It
I chose the key term Developed Nation because it describes countries who are the most involved on how the world is run. Currently the world is going through a lot of elections in developed countries which brings attention to what might change. Also, countries like Russia who many people would consider to be developed is actually developing. These countries are up to date with the latest technology and resources which attracts outsiders who are willing to help it grow. It is much easier to visit a developed country than visit a weak corrupt nation where violence can take place at any time.
Explanation of the Key Term
Developed Nations have great wealth and are good with managing their resources in order to take care of its own people. A lot of nations have climbed into the developed category because of technology growing lately. Also it is interesting because vacation areas are becoming developed due to tourists bringing in a great amount of money allowing for places like Barbados to access healthcare and technology.(Satterlee, 2015, p.93) Countries that have attractions can use it to their advantage to lure in money and put it towards things like education which will help build technology and resources. A nation might be small but as long as its economy is stable and things like healthcare and technology keeps growing along with its people, it will be defined as developed.
Major Article Summary
Japan has been classified as a developed country but in recent years its economy and ability to grow has taken a turn. In order for a country to be able to stay developed they must have a stable working class. Japan currently has a shortage of workers due to a low birth rate and not enough immigration taken place. Because of their low birth rate the nation is experiencing a time where there is not a lot of spending taken place which hurts its economy. Japan currently has the worlds oldest population which explains why spending is down. In order for companies to sell their product they are now investing in selling their products overseas rather than at home which creates a deficit. It is hard for a nation to remain stable if they have to rely on doing business overseas. There is discussion about raising sales tax but the last time it was imposed consumer spending fell sending japan into a recession. Also, it would not be a good idea to lower sales tax because even though people might purchase a lot more resources money will still be lost. Japan is not an ideal vacation location so it is hard to bring in money by advertising family getaways. This article points out that Japan needs to find a way to raise lower their population age limit by either producing more or welcoming immigrants that are willing to work. Having a younger population will increase money be ...

It is like a sculptor who has studied so many forms found in nature and then uses this knowledge to create sculptures from his imagination that have never been seen before anywhere else. If taken to cyberspace, gans work almost the same way.

Enterprise Excellence is Inclusive Excellence.pdfKaiNexus
Enterprise excellence and inclusive excellence are closely linked, and real-world challenges have shown that both are essential to the success of any organization. To achieve enterprise excellence, organizations must focus on improving their operations and processes while creating an inclusive environment that engages everyone. In this interactive session, the facilitator will highlight commonly established business practices and how they limit our ability to engage everyone every day. More importantly, though, participants will likely gain increased awareness of what we can do differently to maximize enterprise excellence through deliberate inclusion.
What is Enterprise Excellence?
Enterprise Excellence is a holistic approach that's aimed at achieving world-class performance across all aspects of the organization.
What might I learn?
A way to engage all in creating Inclusive Excellence. Lessons from the US military and their parallels to the story of Harry Potter. How belt systems and CI teams can destroy inclusive practices. How leadership language invites people to the party. There are three things leaders can do to engage everyone every day: maximizing psychological safety to create environments where folks learn, contribute, and challenge the status quo.
Who might benefit? Anyone and everyone leading folks from the shop floor to top floor.

Jean Claude Bastos de Morais says Chinese Industries can Inspire Africa’s Economic Growth Prospects
1. CHINESE INDUSTRIES CAN
INSPIRE AFRICA’S ECONOMIC
GROWTH PROSPECTS
Jean Claude Bastos de Morais
www.jeanclaudebastosdemorais.com
2. The rapid growth shown by China’e economy is a subject for speculation, believes
Quantum Global Group CEO, Jean Claude Bastos de Morais. China’s GDP has shown
tremendous growth. In a span of 28 years, between 1989 and 2017, China’s GDP rose
9.71%.
The lineup of three important factors, namely innovative technologies, heavy
investments, and steady deregulation has evolved the Chinese narrative. It pushes
Mr Bastos de Morais to wonder, can the Chinese economic growth model be applied
to Africa too?
3. Africa is a continent with 54 countries that is separated from China by a huge land
mass, seas, history, and culture. Despite the geographical and cultural differences
between China and Africa, they share a lot of similarities.
Both have a booming population that is in pursuit of industrial modernization. Africa,
however, has a younger demographic. This means Africa has better human resources
in comparison to China. The only thing Africa lacks is the ample amount of
opportunities and tools to employ the human resources productively.
4. China is a good example of how human resources should be nurtured and used. A
study done by Boston Consulting Group concluded that China’s research and
development spending surpasses the same of the US.
In light of the study Jean Claude Bastos de Morais is of the opinion that innovations
are necessary for commercial success. When you analyze the stock market, you will
see Chinese tech companies on the tip. Tencent’s shares have skyrocketed by 43.6%
this year, leaving Facebook behind.
5. As one of the world’s largest investment holding company, it provides Internet
services, value-added services, social networking, e-commerce, web portals,
smartphones and mobile games. These services do more than just please the social
and cultural needs of the Chinese.
6. China has been assisted a lot by the state financial support startup investments from
public and private sectors, independent innovators, and SMEs. In the 2016 National
Conference on Science and Technology, President Xi Jinping stated, “China should
establish itself as one of the most innovative countries by 2020 and a leading
innovator by 2030”.
He added, “Great scientific and technological capacity is a must for China to be
strong and for people’s lives to improve.” This speech can be applied to Africa too.
7. The technological might and innovative approaches of China can be reproduced in
Africa, thanks to its young and fast-growing population. African nations need to
satisfy the needs of small and medium-sized enterprises that require funding in order
to grow and innovate.
Jean Claude Bastos de Morais believes it’s the only way for African innovators and
trendsetters to succeed. The private sector of Africa has also a lot to contribute,
apart from the governments. Hopefully, African countries will spread their wings in
the international market like China. The market competition between the African
states and China will inspire other economies to rise promptly.
