Book Synopsis Internationalisation and Economic Growth Strategies in Ghana by : John Kuada
Download or read book Internationalisation and Economic Growth Strategies in Ghana written by John Kuada and published by Adonis & Abbey Publishers Ltd. This book was released on 2007-07-30 with total page 248 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Economic growth is one of the most cost-effective ways of dealing with poverty in Africa. Growth lifts many people out of poverty and at the same time generates the government revenues necessary for investments within the social sector. Thus the design and implementation of business development policies remains a major challenge in most African countries. This entails supporting businesses to be integrated within the global economic structure without being easy victims of unscrupulous and opportunistic investors. During the past two decades successive Ghanaian governments have implemented private sector development policies aimed at stimulating growth through internationalisation of local enterprises and attracting foreign investors. Contributors to the volume provide an overview of the impact of these policies on the Ghanaian business environment and the strategic orientations of managers. They also offer an insight into the productivity and performance of exporting firms, the financial and knowledge acquisition strategies they adopt, their degree of market orientation and corporate social responsibility and the challenges faced by African policy makers and managers learning to operate within an increasingly turbulent global economy. The book situates the Ghanaian experience within the broader context of African economic growth and calls for African economic integration as a platform on which African firms can build their competitiveness and operate more effectively within the global economy.

This book was released on 2000-05-09 with total page 324 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Policy makers and scholars consider private enterprise development as one of the most promising avenues of economic growth in Africa. To grow, enterprises must improve the efficiency and effectiveness of their operations, often through internationalisation. It is generally believed that internationalisation enhances the technological and managerial capacities of firms and also helps them to leverage other types of resources not immediately available within their own countries. In recent years, there has been an upsurge of interest in exploring the extent to which African firms are integrated into global business networks, and the benefits, if any, derived from such integrations. The above informed the need for an empirical investigations in Ghana from 2002-2003, the results of which are presented in this book. Based on the experiences in Ghana, contributors to the volume explore the issues of internationalisation in Africa by focusing on firm-level activities and inter-firm relations rather than on macro issues. They draw on dominant theories of internationalisation to explore issues such as sustained competitive advantages of firms, management and business relations in export processing zones, organisational structures, competence and leadership; culture, learning and cross-border inter-firm linkages as well as finance and stock exchange performance in Ghana. Internationalisation and Enterprise Development is a major contribution to the body of knowledge on enterprise development in Africa in general, and Ghana in particular. It is a must-read to all who are interested in Africa's enterprise development including the role played by internationalisation in that process.

Globalization, which is the formation to bring products or services in marketplace, subsidizes to the global economic growth and improvement of countries worldwide. In present world, internationalization impacts all the business firms large and small. Progressively, small and medium sized enterprises (SMEs) which are ascertained as containing of firms employing less than 250 employees, with firms having less than 50 employees being concerned as small and firms having 50-249 employees being concerned as medium in size, are forced to play a role in international business markets. This globalisation is able to take many forms, such as exporting products and services, foreign investment in both way directly or indirectly, licensing, authorising completely, importing with exporting being the mode of internationalization for small and medium enterprises. According to the thesis topic ‘Internationalization of SMEs,’ the dissertation will discuss on the trading abroad or exporting of SMEs. As it can be said that doing internationalise may be important and useful for business companies in order to expand and exist in the further future, it cannot precisely confirm of the firm’s survival. The risks of loosing opportunities or chances and costs or values affected in the format will be a very vital considerable factor. Smaller firms find that very hard to recover or overcome these opposite situations and challenges. Moreover, these small firms certainly often suffer from their limited capacity and resources.

Modern technology is indeed such a magic that is able to help even any single business owner to expand his business all over the world.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Seminar paper from the year 2013 in the subject Business economics - Company formation, Business Plans, grade: 1,0, University of Applied Sciences Trier, language: English, abstract: Field of study: International Business/International Entrepreneurship Small and Medium-Sized Enterprises: Definitions, Economic Functions and Determinants of Internationalisation This study investigates a number of motives stimulating the internationalisation of small and medium-sized enterprises (SMEs).The internationalisation of SMEs usually is not part of a strategy but a reaction to a stimulus. An internationalisation stimulus is a factor fostering a firm’s decision to start or maintain committing some resources to act on an international basis. The reaction to stimuli is an indicator for the flexibility of SMEs. It is an interesting point that flexibility helps small firms to overcome the lack of financial resources and is their advantage with regard to internationalisation. After dealing with different definitions of "small" and "medium" with regard to enterprize size and evaluating on the economic functions of smaller firms this work explains the ten following internationalization stimuli: - Potential for extra growth/sales/profit - Production of goods with unique qualities - Influence of decision maker - Orders from abroad - Saturation/shrinkage in domestic market - Intense competition of domestic market - Networking - Fulfilling an international need - Limitation of trade barriers - Global trade infrastructure

Book Synopsis Internationalisation of African Higher Education by : Chika Sehoole
Download or read book Internationalisation of African Higher Education written by Chika Sehoole and published by Springer Science & Business Media. This book was released on 2013-10-30 with total page 211 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The role of higher education, especially the international dimension, is given little importance in the discourse on achieving the Millennium Development Goals (MDGs) in Africa. This book aims to change that. The potential of higher education’s contribution to Africa’s development remains unrealized and often misunderstood. In today’s globalised world, which prioritises economic growth through liberalised trade and competitive market strategies, much emphasis has been placed on higher education’s ability to produce graduates to serve the labour market and produce new knowledge for the knowledge economy. While these are important contributions, the book argues that international higher education and new knowledge must go beyond economic purposes and serve the human and social development needs of the continent. It is against this background that the African Network for the Internationalisation of Education (ANIE) undertook research on the international dimension of higher education in Africa and its role in the achievement of the MDGs. Through empirical research, seven case studies address how international and regional higher education programmes and policies in African universities can address MDG priorities of promoting gender equality and women’s empowerment, combating HIV/AIDS and establishing global partnerships for development through academic mobility, joint research initiatives, curriculum innovation and policy development.

Book Synopsis The Internationalisation of Young High-Tech Firms by : Oliver Bürgel
Download or read book The Internationalisation of Young High-Tech Firms written by Oliver Bürgel and published by Springer Science & Business Media. This book was released on 2012-12-06 with total page 297 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: There is now a certain tradition of Anglo-German comparative research on new technology-based firms (NTBFs). Two of the most influential studies in this area have both been sponsored by the Anglo-German Foundation for the Study of In dustrial Society (AGF). Starting in 1977, the first AGF project on NTBFs, which was carried out by the consultancy firm Arthur D. Little, has been one ofthe most important early contributions in this field (Little 1977). This report was the first public document to use the term 'new technology-based firm' and to provide a definition, which despite its operational limitations subsequently became an es tablished term in the literature. More importantly, this study represented one ofthe first serious attempts to survey the existing stock of this type of firm. The report was critical of the contemporary situation in Europe. (This is a policy area which continues to be hotly debated, see European Commission 1995, Bank of England 1996 and HM Treasury 1998. ) It emphasised that, in comparison with the USA, Germany and the UK were each lagging behind if judged by the rate of formation of NTBFs and in their total contribution to the overall economic activity of both countries. In terms of a policy contribution, this study was instrumental in high lighting the lack ofsupport infrastructures for the genesis and growth of high-tech start-ups in two of Europe's leading economies.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: It has become clear that over the past few decades enterprises not only produce and sell abroad but increasingly also develop goods and services outside their home countries; a development now known as the internationalisation of business R and D. This book presents a comprehensive picture of the current state of internationalisation of R and D in the business sector. The contributors explore key patterns of the internationalisation of R and D across various countries and sectors using case studies to underpin empirical evidence. They examine the drivers of the process, revealing the impacts of R and D internationalisation on both home and host countries using both qualitative and quantitative analysis. Topics discussed include: * Why firms locate R and D activities abroad * Data availability, quality and comparability * The role of the EU and the US in the internationalisation of R and D * Country-level factors such as size, workforce and FDI as determinants of R and D internationalisation * Impacts of R and D internationalisation on home and host countries. This book will prove an insightful read for academics, researchers and students with an interest in economics - particularly the economics of innovation - business and management, and science and technology. It will also prove a valuable resource for R and D policymakers and public administrators.
