This document describes a proposed traffic assistant device for cars with automatic transmission. The device would take some control of the car during traffic jams to reduce the driver's workload. It analyzes the potential market in Indonesia, where there are over 3 million cars in Jakarta and automatic transmission vehicles make up 10% of the market. If 10% of automatic transmission owners were interested and the device was priced at Rp. 10 million, total potential sales could be over Rp. 3 trillion. The document then discusses strengths, weaknesses, opportunities and threats, and proposes an integrated marketing communication strategy using both online and offline channels to promote the device.
The document discusses OBD-II (On-Board Diagnostics II) systems, which provide vehicle owners and technicians access to vehicle subsystem status. It covers the types of vehicles that use OBD-II, common adapter types like USB, Bluetooth, and WiFi, and applications for fleet management and personal vehicle maintenance. It also provides information on the ELM327 microcontroller that translates the OBD interface, common tasks like reading diagnostic trouble codes, and developing mobile apps to interface with OBDII systems.
The document summarizes the state of the automotive aftersales market in Southeast Asia. It notes that Indonesia and Thailand are key market drivers in the region. While countries like Brunei and Singapore have mature markets, Vietnam and the Philippines represent future potential. The automotive sales in the region have increased significantly in the last 4 years, with over 10 million additional cars. Independent workshops currently perform around 85% of post-warranty repairs due to limited authorized service capacity. Strengthening the role of independent workshops is seen as an opportunity to improve aftersales service for customers.

The document discusses the negative effects of British imperialism in India. It led to the desolation of Indian religion and control of India for British benefits. The Sepoy mutiny of 1857 was sparked when new rifle cartridges required biting off the end, which contained animal fat, offending Hindus and Muslims. Economically, India's GDP declined from 22% pre-British rule to 2% under British control due to their dominance over Indian trade and businesses. Overall, British imperialism in India had significant harmful impacts on the country's culture, religion, and economy.
Kenya aims to achieve middle income status by 2030 through unprecedented 10% annual economic growth, as outlined in its Vision 2030 development plan. However, it has fallen short of this target and has just 15 years remaining. Several sectors are seen as key to driving growth, including tourism, agriculture, manufacturing, and financial services. Challenges include low levels of value addition and processing in agriculture and other sectors. The document advocates for reforms and development across sectors to maximize their potential and put Kenya on track to become a middle income country by 2030.

Nigeria’s
e-commerce
infrastructure
challenge
E-commerce is growing in Nigeria, but
problems with power, transport and
communications are holding it back.
Many Nigerians do not feel secure in making payments
online and prefer to pay cash on delivery, with the
relatively low number of credit and debit cards further
curbing online purchasing.
At a more local level, unlike in more developed
countries, Nigeria lacks comprehensive address re-
cords, which can massively increase the number of
delivery mistakes and delay packages from arriving
at their correct destination.
“The infrastructure challenges facing e-commerce
in Nigeria are substantial – timely and affordable de-
liveries are central to the business model and Nigeria’s
poor transport infrastructure and unreliable power
supplies are key impediments to achieving that,” says
Richard Marshall, senior infrastructure analyst at
BMI Research.
E-commerce companies will not find it easy to over-
come these hurdles, but some difficulties are to be ex-
pected as the industry is creating a path for itself from
scratch. These issues drive up the cost of moving goods
in the country and can make it extremely expensive to
transport everyday items. Creative solutions, like using
drones to make deliveries, can be found throughout
the continent, but there is yet to be a development that
addresses fundamental infrastructure gaps.
Creating a massive e-commerce company in Af-
rica that is able to leverage economies of scale, like
Amazon in the US, will simply not be possible due to
fragmented markets. Problems around cross-border
payments, tariffs and intra-country differences mean
the “Amazon of Africa” may not appear for many years.
Trailblazing a new industry
Leading e-commerce firms are working to create reli-
able and cost-effective transportation networks across
Africa. Nigeria’s biggest online mall, Konga, recently
launched an ambitious warehouse infrastructure pro-
ject called Fulfilled by Konga, aimed at fixing some of
the country’s most persistent infrastructure problems.
As part of the initiative Konga is set to double the size
of its main distribution centre in Lagos to 120,000 sq
ft in 2017 and embark on a country-wide scheme to
build fulfilment centres in Abuja and Port Harcourt.
For Konga, now is the right time to launch this
elaborate project. “Nigeria’s lack of infrastructure has
really been a hindrance to all e-commerce companies
in Nigeria, not just Konga. We are all operating and,
essentially, trailblazing a new industry. We are attempt-
ing to bring millions of cons.
This document discusses Ethiopia's economic development and challenges. It notes that Ethiopia faces its worst drought in 50 years, putting over 10 million people at risk of famine and threatening its recent economic gains. However, it also discusses Ethiopia's achievements, including strong economic growth over the past decade, cutting poverty levels, and progress on development goals. The document argues that Ethiopia needs continued international support to consolidate its successes and transition its economy from agriculture to manufacturing and industry. It highlights Ethiopia's case to investors for trade and investment at the World Economic Forum, with the potential to achieve further progress and development.
This document provides an overview of the impact of globalization on India's economy and broadcasting industries. It discusses how India has opened up to international trade and investment, leading to privatization and liberalization in many sectors. This includes the deregulation and privatization of India's broadcasting industry in the late 1990s, allowing foreign media conglomerates to enter and transforming India from a state-controlled broadcast system to one with nearly 70 private television channels. The globalization of India's economy and media landscapes has presented both opportunities and challenges for the country.

The document provides an overview of the advantages of investing in the information technology industry in Dubai and the United Arab Emirates. Some of the key points highlighted include Dubai's growing economy, political stability, world-class infrastructure, relaxed taxation rules, and initiatives to promote happiness and well-being. The top trends shaping the IT industry in 2020 are discussed as the increasing adoption of cloud computing, digital transformation, cybersecurity, artificial intelligence/cognitive technologies, and the Internet of Things. Challenges for foreign investors establishing businesses in the UAE include requirements for local sponsorship and understanding cultural norms.
PowerHouse Rides plans to expand into the Indonesian market by franchising bike shops across the country. Indonesia has a large population with growing economic and a strong social media presence. While establishing franchises faces challenges like infrastructure differences across islands and complex regulations, targeting populated urban areas with tech-savvy youth offers opportunities. Success will be measured by growing market share, revenue, and positive customer feedback online.
Role of information technology in innovative entrepreneurship finalSanjay Mishra
The document discusses the potential for innovation and entrepreneurship in India. It notes that while India has seen success in IT, much of the population still lacks basic amenities and the informal sector makes up 90% of the workforce. It argues that both private companies and the government could do more to promote innovation, including by small businesses applying existing technologies to new areas and reducing costs. Examples are given of innovative companies in sectors like automobiles, microfinance, and retail that have helped develop new markets and address social issues. The analysis indicates there are still significant untapped opportunities for innovative entrepreneurship in India if more private companies are willing to take risks.

Research China: 10 Insights into doing research in ChinaChris Middleton
Research in China is dynamic as the research agency scene and researchers change jobs frequently. Government data can be inaccurate or manipulated, so agencies fill gaps left by lack of official data. Most research inquiries from multinationals concern comparisons between regions. While Chinese researchers are advancing with internet tools, Western methodologies are still lacking. Multinational companies make up most agency income. Local companies rarely use consumer research and see little value beyond internet searches. When they do research, it is often part of large strategic projects done by consultants like McKinsey using local junior staff.

3. surprising
A country of 238 million - 4th most populous globally
Living on over 17,000 islands
The biggest Muslim nation in the World
The 15th largest economy by PPP
3rd fastest growing GDP in G20
4. growth
Growth rates are staggering and
remind me of levels seen in the
West in the 1960s
GDP is forecast to grow at over
6% to 2015
A variety of markets are
accelerating:
- flatscreen TVs + 24% Y-on-Y
- washing machines + 33%
- property developer Ciputra
saw +84% sales
- sales volumes at Indocement
are up 25%

5. on the ground
Three observations from my trip to Jakarta last week:
1. The nation still benefits from being a low wage economy:
e.g. hotel workers are on hand to sponge away water left
by cars' aircon
2. The motorbike is the key symbol of freedom and success;
five on a bike is not uncommon
3. 15 years ago, Indonesian business meetings were excited
& undisciplined; today's sessions are intense & professional
6. rice bowl
Approximately 90% of the Indonesian population
is still engaged in agriculture
Whilst Indonesia has become self sufficient in
rice, it has now become a net importer of oil
7. infrastructure
100 new cars appear on Jakarta's streets every day
Despite this, compared to 12 years ago,
I thought the traffic flowed more smoothly
However, everything seems a one hour taxi trip away and
when it rains, traffic slows to a crawl
Jakarta needs huge investment
in public transport before
it can start to function
as an efficient City
8. government
is influential
Indonesia's
economy
is strongly
influenced by
the government
Over 164 enterprises are run by the State
and the prices of many basic products
such as rice, electricity and fuel
are administered by the government
9. traditional
Overall, Indonesia remains conservative in its values
There will be protests from the Islam Defenders Front when Lady Gaga –
accused of destroying the nation's morals - arrives in June
Women are, on average, marrying younger – many under 20
84% think that abortion is 'never justifyable': homosexuality is similarly
rejected by 89% of the population (source: World Values Survey, 2006)
10. tourism
Estimates put the number of tourists visiting Indonesia at 8 million for 2012
For many, Bali is the venue of choice but the growth trend
is for business tourism
Business-trip tourists will count for 3.2m this year and there is excitement
around Indonesia's potential in the MICE market (Meetings, Incentives,
Conventions and Exhibitions)
Hotel Mulia Senayan, where I stayed,
has a Grand Ballroom big enough for 4000,
13 meeting rooms and 3 board rooms
11. health System
The limited number of health workers affects the delivery of health services
in Indonesia. In 2006, the ratio of general practitioners was 19.9 per 100,000
population while ratio of midwifes per 100,000 population was 35.4
Both are very low by international standards
12. dark side
The US Trade Representative put Indonesia
on its 13-country 'Watch List' for violating
intellectual property rights and copyrights
Local authors like Andrea Hirata complain
of huge lost sales due to pirating
Indonesia is ranked 100th in the 2011
Corruption Index:
leaving the country last week, a public
official politely asked me for a bribe!
