Blue green red and purple ocean strategySajna Fathima
blue green purple and red ocean strategy
Globalization is characterized by global production and exchange of goods and services as well as a global flow of technology, information, and capital. The business strategy is composed of two types of oceans: red oceans and blue oceans. Red ocean strategy is to intense competition. On the other hand, Blue ocean strategy is about growing demand, breaking away from the competition.
Innovation at Progressive (A) - Harvard Business School
Answering the following questions:
1. How does Progressive’s performance as an auto insurer compare to that of typical insurance companies? How does its performance changed over time? What explains the difference in performance?
2. Customers of auto insurers are very price sensitive. How problematic is it to Progressive that customers almost always select the insurer that offers the best price?
3. Assess the viability of the Autograph system. What level of consumer acceptance will it take to make Autograph successful? What are the barriers to consumer acceptance? Should Autograph be expanded nationwide?

Remuneração Executiva e Geração de Valor
A remuneração dos executivos e sua relação com os resultados empresariais têm sido um dos grandes desafios de gestão e foco de atenção dos líderes empresariais. Nos últimos anos, a remuneração executiva também tem se tornado tema prioritário dos órgãos reguladores e de especialistas que se dedicam ao aprimoramento dos modelos de governança corporativa em âmbito global.
Pesquisa de Remuneração Executiva e Geração de Valor com uma amostra de 143 empresas que compõem o Índice de Governança Corporativa (IGC) da BM&F Bovespa, com a finalidade de entender como as empresas de capital aberto estão se posicionando no tema. Para atender esse objetivo, analisamos resultados de negócios e comportamento da remuneração executiva em um período de cinco anos.
Os resultados apresentados neste relatório podem ajudar a sua empresa a refletir e a planejar as ações necessárias para aperfeiçoar suas práticas de remuneração executiva e governança corporativa.
Over the last twenty years the centre of the global economy has shifted. Investors are targeting higher rates of return in developing economies while emerging markets have also become increasingly attractive to occupiers suffering the stagnation of more mature locations.
Rapid growth in the economies of China, Brazil and India has led to substantial migration of capital and business activities to other less mature environments. However a number of global shocks occurred during the latter half of 2014 and 2015, suggesting that frailties could be escalating to crisis point.
MARKET TREND OR MARKET BLIP?
Emerging market economies have certainly felt some significant headwinds over the past 12 months. This is posing threats to future economic growth prospects. not only for developing economies but also the developed world.
At present China is witnessing a significant economic slowdown, Russia is suffering from falls in oil prices and Brazil is being hit by both falling commodity prices and political dysfunction. A vicious cycle of secular stagnation appears to be developing. Slowing growth in industrial countries is now directly impacting emerging economies, which are exporting capital and thereby slowing growth in more developed locations.
KEY GLOBAL TRENDS
– Lower commodity prices
– Weakening global trade
– Financial turbulence in advanced markets
– Policy bottlenecks
– Structural downgrade in China
Following a brief period where focus was on nothing but a return to a global recovery following the downturn of 2008, GDP forecasts in 2015 are now being sharply revised downwards by the IMF. This underlines the significance of current global troubles and the impact they could have on the health of both developed and developing world economies. It is yet to be seen whether this is a trend to stay or a market blip, nevertheless growing uncertainty is certainly starting to be reflected in investor and business sentiment.

Many investors see investing in Africa as the "final frontier" as other emerging markets like China and India continue to mature. With a population of about a billion and significant natural resources, the continent has been growing in popularity among investors over the decades
The long-term growth outlook for Africa appears bright. With a large and growing, young and increasingly wealthy population, Africa has a demographic advantage that few other parts of the world will be able to match over the coming decades. The rise of non-traditional economic
sectors, such as the telecoms industry, and the growth of service industries supporting the expanding middle class, should help African economies to diversify and become less dependent on commodities, aiding their long-term development.
• 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.
The African Cities Growth Index is a unique lens for
viewing the future of Africa. With the collapse of the
so called commodity super cycle, continuing sluggish
recovery in the global economy, and persistent uncertainty
in growth prospects in many developed and developing
countries alike, the outlook for Africa has changed
dramatically in the past 12 months. As a result, the bullish
sentiments, captured by the “Africa Rising” narrative, have
been substantially dampened, if not vanishing altogether.
Etude Pwc "Cities of Opportunity Africa" - Les villes africaines révèlent leu...PwC France
http://bit.ly/PwC-IntoAfrica15
A l’occasion de l’Africa CEO Forum 2015, PwC lance la 1ère édition de son étude « Cities of Opportunity Africa », qui analyse le potentiel actuel et futur de 20 villes africaines.
Ce rapport est partie intégrante de la série d’études « Cities of opportunity » dans laquelle PwC structure son analyse des villes autour des enjeux clés pour les investisseurs comme pour les acteurs publics, responsables des politiques publiques de la ville.
Méthodologie
PwC a étudié 20 villes africaines sur la base de 4 indicateurs, eux-mêmes reposant sur 29 variables, dont le détail est expliqué dans l’étude disponible ici : www.pwc.fr. Voici quelques exemples de variables :
-Infrastructure : coût du logement, trafic des aéroports, débit internet, routes et transports publics, eau et électricité…
- Capital humain : nombre de professionnels de santé et de lits d’hôpital, nombre de jeunes diplômés et taux d’alphabétisation…
- Economie : croissance du PIB, facilité à faire des affaires, diversification du PIB, investissements directs étrangers, coefficient GINI…
- Société & Démographie : marché de la classe moyenne, croissance des villes moyennes, taux de criminalité, nombre d’événements internationaux, croissance de la population…
Ce choix de variables est inévitablement subjectif, mais il est basé sur notre expérience de ce type d’étude ainsi que sur notre connaissance du continent africain.
The Future of Digital Business Models in sub-Saharan Africa, Team Finland Fut...Team Finland Future Watch
From the perspective of the African future, digital business models have a vital role in influencing the development of African societies. For the first time African economies are able to create equal economic links with Western economies and are able to attract interest from all over the world. Growth numbers in digital market are staggering, although the future is not as straightforward as one could expect. Now it is great moment to look at what are the successful digital business models in Africa and how does the future looks like for African digitalization.

Cooperativismo brasileiro e economia verde
Redução da emissão de metano por cooperativas
Cooperando com o futuro:
Propostas do cooperativismo brasileiro na COP26
COP26
1) Regulação do mercado de carbono: De forma que viabilize o acesso facilitado de recursos
nacionais e internacionais para projetos ambientais localizados em área públicas ou em propriedades privadas, como as Áreas de Preservação Permanente (APP), Reservas Legais (RL) e Reservas Particulares do Patrimônio Natural (RPPN).
2) Combate inflexível e abrangente ao desmatamento ilegal: Consideramos medidas de comando e controle ao desmatamento ilegal na Amazônia e em demais biomas são indispensáveis e imprescindíveis. Contamos, inclusive, com o apoio de todas as nações para atingir esse objetivo
com cada vez mais eficiência. Destacamos que o Brasil possui uma das legislações ambientais mais modernas e rigorosas do mundo: o novo Código Florestal.
3) Fomento ao cooperativismo como arranjo produtivo sustentável: O cooperativismo é um
modelo econômico sustentável, ambientalmente responsável e socialmente justo, capaz de
proporcionar inclusão produtiva, economia de escala, geração de renda e desenvolvimento
regional e local. Para tanto, deve ser fomentado com investimentos públicos e privados.
4) Medidas de estímulo à proteção e à preservação do meio ambiente: Citamos como exemplo a
Política Nacional de Pagamento por Serviços Ambientais, a política de crédito rural para ações
sustentáveis e a emissão de títulos verdes (green bonds).
5) Valorização da produção brasileira para o combate à fome: A produção brasileira, em especial,
por meio das cooperativas agropecuárias, tem papel fundamental no combate à fome e na
garantia de segurança alimentar para o mundo
As propostas do Governo na COP26:
> Reduzir emissões de gases de efeito estufa em 50% até 2030 (meta anterior: 43%).

Forests around the world - Did you know that forests cover nearly 1/3 of land globally? That’s 4.06 billion hectares.
More than half (54 percent) of the world’s forests is in only five countries – the Russian Federation, Brazil, Canada, the United States of America and China.
FRA is the mechanism for collecting data on two forest-related indicators of the Sustainable Development Goals (SDGs), which the United Nations General Assembly adopted in 2015. Specically, data submitted to FRA contribute to reporting on SDG indicator 15.1.1 (forest area as a proportion of total land area in 2015) and indicator 15.2.1 (progress towards sustainable forest management). In other words, there is around 0.52 ha of forest for every person on the planet.
O setor de base florestal madeireira tem significativa participação na formação do PIB nacional, na geração de tributos e nas exportações, com destacada contribuição na formação de superávit na balança comercial,além da expressiva geração de empregos diretos e indiretos. Também
proporciona benefícios ambientais e ecológicos que, somados a sua importância econômica e social, reúnem os atributos essenciais para o desenvolvimento sustentável.

In the Adani-Hindenburg case, what is SEBI investigating.pptxAdani case
Adani SEBI investigation revealed that the latter had sought information from five foreign jurisdictions concerning the holdings of the firm’s foreign portfolio investors (FPIs) in relation to the alleged violations of the MPS Regulations. Nevertheless, the economic interest of the twelve FPIs based in tax haven jurisdictions still needs to be determined. The Adani Group firms classed these FPIs as public shareholders. According to Hindenburg, FPIs were used to get around regulatory standards.

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.

Urbanisation and Real Estate
Introducing our Africa Cities Research Programme
The past two years have seen a sharp rise in interest
in commercial real estate opportunities in African
cities. As home to some of the world’s fastest growing
city economies, with rapid rates of urbanisation and
burgeoning middle classes, it is of little surprise that
Africa is appearing on the radar of an increasing number
of major corporations. International capital is beginning
to focus on Africa’s real estate potential, and developers
are now responding to the strong demand for modern
shopping malls, offices and hotels.
With the international spotlight firmly on the continent,
our latest Cities Research focuses on the opportunities
in 40 African cities. Africa offers a huge diversity of
operating conditions, city dynamics and real estate
environments; yet it is the rapidly expanding cities in
Sub-Saharan Africa that are attracting greatest interest
- and with less than 3 million square metres of ‘Grade A’

commercial space (office and retail) across the region
(excluding South Africa), the real estate opportunities
are clearly evident. Challenges abound, but the
operating environment is selectively improving and there
are potentially significant pay-offs in those African cities
that are creating economic stability.
Our Africa Cities Research programme explores the
continent’s evolving urban network and assesses how
the changing environment is impacting on current
and future commercial real estate requirements. We
shall be releasing a series of reports that provide new
insights into this rapidly urbanising continent – we will
identify which African cities offer the greatest real estate
opportunities, and we will explore real estate sector
prospects and transparency. In this Introductory Paper
and by way of context, we highlight 12 pillars that, we
believe, will underpin Africa’s future success.

Africa is on the Move
The African Opportunity
Africa is on the move - economic growth is robust,
foreign investment is growing and its expanding urban
middle classes with their strong propensity to spend
are creating an internal market of global scale. The
continent is actively harnessing its natural resources,
but Africa is not just a ‘commodity play’; growth in
manufacturing, technology and telecoms, finance and
business services, outsourcing, retailing and hospitality
is generating an urgent requirement for a modern
commercial real estate infrastructure.

responds to the strong demand for high-quality
property. Unencumbered by a legacy of existing
stock, the continent has a real opportunity to leapfrog
the normal evolutionary process and to build assets
equipped for the modern technologically-enabled
business and consumer - Africa’s lead in mobile
banking illustrates that it has the potential to be a
groundbreaker. The reality, however, is that the
future shape of Africa’s real estate market will be
determined by its ability to tackle poor transparency,
which will continue to be a major barrier to real estate
construction, occupation and transactional activity.
Here, Sub-Saharan Africa can learn from many
other emerging markets across the globe, who are
successfully improving both their regulatory controls
and the fairness of their real estate transaction
processes.
4. 4 The African Century - Twelve Pillars of Africa’s Future Success
Twelve Pillars of Africa’s Future Success
1. Sustained Economic Growth
The requirement for a modern commercial real estate infrastructure intensifies
• The past decade has been a major turning point
for the African economy. Economic growth in
Sub-Saharan Africa has matched or exceeded 5%
for nine out of the last 10 years, underpinned not
only by a commodities boom but by expanding
private consumption. This is producing significant
pent-up demand from multinational corporations,
local businesses and consumers for high-quality
commercial real estate.
• Economic growth is expected to continue to
exceed 5% per year over the next five years as

the internal market expands. The balance of
economic activity within the continent is shifting
southwards into Sub-Saharan Africa, home to
some of the world’s fastest growing economies,
such as Ethiopia, Ghana, Nigeria and Angola.
• In terms of economic performance, Sub-Saharan
Africa now holds up well compared to other
emerging markets - eight out of the world’s top
dozen fastest growing countries over the next five
years are expected to be in Africa.
5. The African Century - Twelve Pillars of Africa’s Future Success 5
2. Favourable Demographics
Africa’s demographic boost
• Africa is becoming a market of global scale - its
population, currently in excess of one billion, is
expected to double over the next 25 years, the
fastest growth rate of any continent.
• Its working-age population is growing especially
vigorously, with 70% of the total population
aged under 30, delivering a potentially huge
demographic boost. By 2040, Africa’s working-age
population will be larger than either China or India.

• Africa is a mosaic of 54 countries, yet several
heavily populated countries are likely to dominate
future market opportunities. Nigeria (the
continent’s largest market with a population of 174
million), Ethiopia (94 million), Egypt (82 million),
South Africa (52 million), Kenya (44 million) and
Morocco (33 million) are providing true scalability
for corporations, retailers, hotel operators and real
estate developers.
6. 6 The African Century - Twelve Pillars of Africa’s Future Success
3. Rapid Urbanisation
Africa is urbanising more rapidly than any other continent
• The real estate sector will play a major role in
shaping Africa’s urban future as city infrastructures
strain under the pressures of ‘flash urbanisation’.
Africa is urbanising more rapidly than any other
continent, with its city-based population expanding
by 3.5% per year. Some cities are growing
considerably faster (such as Abuja at 9% and
Luanda at 6% a year).
• 60 cities across Africa currently have a population
of more than one million; a total of 170 million
city dwellers whose incomes are typically
nearly double their respective country’s national
Africa’s Economic Growth Hotspots
Economic Size - GDP (PPP)

average. The continent is also home to four of the
world’s megacities - Cairo, Lagos, Kinshasa and
Johannesburg – each providing huge population
catchments.
• Many African cities are showing remarkable
economic dynamism. Accra and Addis Ababa
are booming, and are among the world’s fastest
growing city economies. Luanda, Maputo, Lusaka,
Lagos and Abuja are also expanding rapidly,
while Kigali (in Rwanda) has ambitious plans to
transform itself into “the centre of urban excellence
in Africa”.
7. The African Century - Twelve Pillars of Africa’s Future Success 7
4. Expanding Middle Classes
A sizeable urban middle class with a strong propensity to spend
• Sustained economic growth is creating an
expanding urban middle class with growing
discretionary incomes. Africa’s middle classes
have been estimated at around 350 million,
although a more conservative estimate suggests
that the total is closer to 150 million1.
• The continent’s middle classes will provide a key
source of private sector growth, underpinning
expansion in modern retailing, as well as business
and healthcare services. They are proving to be
one of the most compelling attractions for foreign
investment into Africa.

*National data

• The highest concentrations of middleclass populations are in South African cities
(Johannesburg, Cape Town and Durban) and in
North Africa’s main urban areas - Cairo, Alexandria,
Casablanca, Rabat, Algiers and Tunis. But the
most rapid growth in the middle-class population
is occurring in Sub-Saharan Africa in cities such
as Lagos, Abuja, Luanda, Accra and Nairobi,
where there is considerable pent-up demand
from brand-conscious urban consumers who are
looking for quality products and a modern shopping
experience.
• Sub-Saharan Africa has, to date, been ‘off the
radar’ of most international groups (with the notable
exception of South African retailers), but this is
beginning to change as international retailers,
developers and investors seek to tap into the fastgrowing consumer markets.

8. 8 The African Century - Twelve Pillars of Africa’s Future Success
5. Commodities and Energy Resources
Africa seeks value-added opportunities from its natural resources
• Africa has an abundance of natural resources, and
the continent will continue to benefit over the long
term from the growth in global demand for its oil
and commodity resources. But, more significantly,
recent evidence indicates that several African
countries are now capturing greater downstream
value from their resources, which will have a more
direct impact on the demand for industrial and
commercial real estate.
Nairobi, Kenya
• Africa’s proven oil and natural gas reserves have
grown strongly. Nigeria, Angola and Algeria top
the ranks of oil and gas exporters, but recent
finds of offshore natural gas in Tanzania and
Mozambique and the development of oilfields in
Uganda and Kenya will result in East Africa also
becoming a major exporting region.
9. The African Century - Twelve Pillars of Africa’s Future Success 9
6. Innovation and Technology
But Africa is not just a resources play …
• Many African cities have strong entrepreneurial
energy, and several innovation sectors are
performing well. Innovative uses of technology are
allowing some cities to leapfrog normal evolution
and position themselves as centres of technology
and research on the continent. The rise of mobile
telephony and mobile banking is creating pockets
of excellence, with Nairobi – Africa’s ‘Silicon
Savannah’ - emerging as a regional powerhouse in
mobile technology. Elsewhere, Accra is witnessing
strong growth in its ICT sector, while Addis Ababa
is emerging as a hub for IT start-ups.

10. 10 The African Century - Twelve Pillars of Africa’s Future Success
7. Increasing Foreign Direct Investment (FDI)
Investors target Sub-Saharan Africa
• International investor perceptions about
potential opportunities in Africa are slowly
improving. The global search for commodities,
a growing internal consumer market and better
macroeconomic fundamentals have helped to
boost foreign investment.
• FDI volumes into Sub-Saharan Africa have
risen by 41% since 2007 (bettered only by
Latin America), although volumes have fallen
equally sharply in North Africa. High flows
from China have contributed to FDI growth as
it seeks to tap into Africa’s natural resources
and contribute to infrastructure development.
Malaysian, Indian and South African investors are
also active.

FDI Flows 2007-2012

• FDI from developing countries is growing, as well
as from private equity funds, and there is a shift
towards FDI directed at the African consumer
as investors become aware of its favourable
demographics.
• Nigeria, as the continent’s largest consumer
market, has become Africa’s favoured location for
investment, echoing the increasing retailer and
real estate developer interest in the country’s main
cities, notably Lagos, Abuja and Port Harcourt.
11. The African Century - Twelve Pillars of Africa’s Future Success 11
8. Service Sector Growth
Strong growth in business services to boost office demand
• As Africa’s internal market expands, a huge
requirement is building for personal banking
services, business finance and micro finance.
Currently, only a quarter of the continent’s
population have a bank account, presenting a
significant growth opportunity. Retail banking in
Sub-Saharan Africa is expected to achieve 15%
per year growth for the remainder of the decade2.
• Johannesburg will remain the continent’s leading
financial centre, given its strong domestic banking
sector and status as the regional headquarters of
many international banks. Casablanca, Lagos and
Nairobi are consolidating their positions as regional
banking hubs, while Port Louis (in Mauritius) is
evolving as an offshore banking centre.
• New forms of banking, such as mobile banking, are
emerging. This is being driven by platforms such as
M-Pesa in Kenya, which is now used by a reported
70% of Kenya’s adult population. Similar systems
have been set up throughout Africa, working with
major banks such as South Africa’s First National
Bank.

9. Offshoring Activities
Africa emerges as an offshoring destination
• In comparison with the more established offshoring
markets in India, Central Europe and South East
Asia, Africa is a relatively recent entrant to the
offshoring sector. The continent has, however,
seen a strong uptick in activity in recent years,
driven primarily by its low-cost proposition, talent
availability, English and French language skills,
and favourable time zones for Europe.
• Johannesburg, Cape Town, Cairo and Casablanca
have evolved as the leading cities in terms of a
critical mass of offshore services, while Nairobi
and Accra are also developing their offshoring
capability.
• Several African governments, such as Ghana and
Kenya, are making concerted efforts to improve
the attractiveness of the operating environment
by creating technology parks and developing their
skills base.
13. The African Century - Twelve Pillars of Africa’s Future Success 13
10. Improving Governance, Economic Management and Transparency
Operating environments are selectively improving
most favourable risk profiles and, combined with
their high rates of economic growth, provide among
the continent’s most attractive environments for
investors.
• Business operating environments in Africa are
selectively improving and economic governance is,
in general, becoming more rigorous. Nonetheless,
investors’ concerns about a wide range of risks
persist, and Africa will remain a challenging
balance of risk versus opportunity. Within
Sub-Saharan Africa3, Accra (Ghana), Lusaka
(Zambia), Dar es Salaam (Tanzania) and Maputo
(Mozambique) are judged to have the region’s

11. Infrastructure Development
New infrastructure … new cities
• Poor infrastructure (in terms of transport, utilities
and telecommunications) remains one of the
biggest challenges for the African continent,
but investment funding is steadily increasing.
China, in particular, has become a major source
of funding that includes hydropower projects
in Nigeria, roads and railways in DR Congo,
Mozambique, Tanzania, Kenya and Angola, and
communications in Ethiopia.
• With many city infrastructures straining under the
weight of rapid urbanisation, there are several
ambitious plans for new satellite ‘cities’ on the
edge of Africa’s major cities, including Konza
Techno City outside of Nairobi and Eko Atlantic on
Victoria Island in Lagos.
15. The African Century - Twelve Pillars of Africa’s Future Success 15
12. … and a Rapidly Evolving Commercial Real Estate Market
Implications for
Developers
• Sub-Saharan Africa’s commercial real estate sector
is in an early, high-energy phase of development as
the industry starts to respond to rapid urbanisation
Africa’s Commercial Real Estate Stock
*Excluding South Africa.
Relates to modern offices and shopping malls
Source: Jones Lang LaSalle, Emerging Markets Consultants, SACSC, IHS Global Insight
and strong demand from businesses and
consumers for a modern real estate infrastructure.
Nonetheless, the continent remains severely
undersupplied with high-quality commercial space,
and a lack of experienced local developers will
create opportunities for international players.
16. 16 The African Century - Twelve Pillars of Africa’s Future Success
Implications for
Retailers
International retailers are responding to the
growth opportunities
Mall construction is poised
for ‘lift-off’
• The growing number of brand-conscious urban
consumers is not going unnoticed by developers
and retailers. South African retailers such as
Shoprite, Pick n Pay, Massmart and Woolworths
have taken the lead, but a number of other
international retailers are now assessing the
opportunities.
• Nonetheless, shopping mall construction is poised
for ‘lift-off’ as developers and retailers respond to
the severe supply-demand imbalance. The stock
is rapidly expanding at a rate of over 20% a year,
spearheaded by Cairo, Casablanca, Lagos and
Nairobi. Nigeria’s main cities have become a
key target due to the scalability opportunities of a
country of over 170 million consumers.
• Retailer expansion, however, will continue
to be hindered by a lack of high-quality retail
accommodation. Jones Lang LaSalle estimates
that the stock of ‘Grade A’ shopping malls across
Africa (excluding South Africa) is less than 1.5
million square metres – that’s barely equivalent
to the stock of Hungary, a country of 10 million
people against one billion in Africa.
17. The African Century - Twelve Pillars of Africa’s Future Success 17
Implications for
Corporates
Corporates lead the charge
Dearth of quality office space
• Corporates are leading the charge into Africa and,
out of necessity, are acting as a catalyst for new
real estate development. Many multinationals
have already established significant footprints
across the continent, and are facing the typical
challenges of operating in ‘frontier’ markets, such
as poor transparency, bureaucracy, high costs, skill
shortages and an absence of suitable real estate.
• There is an urgent requirement for quality office
assets to meet the strong demand from a broad
range of growing corporate sectors – such
as finance, outsourcing, oil and commodities,
manufacturers and telecoms. We estimate that
there is less than 2 million square metres of ‘Grade
A’ stock across Sub-Saharan Africa (excluding
South Africa), of which around half is located in just
four cities - Nairobi, Lagos, Luanda and Port Louis.
18. 18 The African Century - Twelve Pillars of Africa’s Future Success
Implications for
Hotel Operators
Implications for
Real Estate Investors
Sharp increase in the hotel
development pipeline
International capital perceives
opportunities
• In line with the corporate and urban development
taking place in Sub-Saharan Africa, the hotel
landscape is witnessing strong growth, led by
upscale business hotels. Africa is estimated
to have around 90,000 branded hotel rooms4,
which compares to around 128,000 in London
alone. With more than half of the hotel rooms
concentrated in just three North African countries
(Egypt, Morocco and Tunisia), the potential
opportunities for the hotel sector in the SubSaharan region are substantial, and international
and regional hotel operators are actively seeking
to expand their presence. The hotel development
pipeline is increasing significantly, and Nigerian,
Ghanaian and Tanzanian cities are emerging as a
primary focus of activity.
• Africa currently accounts for less than 0.5% of
global direct commercial real estate investment
volumes, the bulk of which is transacted
domestically within South Africa. But, international
capital is beginning to move into Africa as investors
seek to access the continent’s growth prospects.
A number of real estate funds have been created
to focus on the commercial property market, with
South African capital taking the lead.
Increasing demand for budget and
mid-market hotels
• So far, hotel development in the Sub-Saharan
region has largely targeted the full service upscale
international business market. However, there is
a growing focus on the local customer base (both
for leisure and business), as spending power
increases. Groups such as Accor are already
responding to the increasing demand for budget
and mid-market accommodation.

W Hospitality Group, 2013
Poor transparency will hinder
investor activity
• While Sub-Saharan Africa is a compelling longterm growth story, poor infrastructure, corruption,
scale of markets and low liquidity will continue
to deter most investors. The key to success
for international investors will be to secure the
right local partners to guide them through the
complications of land title, bureaucracy and political
risk. Doing business in Africa is not easy and
poor real estate transparency will continue to be a
binding constraint in all but a few markets across
Africa. Nonetheless, for many international real
estate players the possibilities offered by Africa’s
fast-growing markets will be too great to ignore.
