5 African countries look to for an alternative to the multi-tiered conditions that accompany aid and loans from the World Bank and the IMF Most African countries lack linkages between Chinese and local enterprises and efforts to promote regional integration have been limited so far A definite gain is infrastructure improvements that increases the ability of African countries to participate in a competitive global economy Chinese economic activity in Africa extends into public infrastructure, such as the building of hospitals, schools and affordable housing, which greatly benefit the general populace Chinese construction activities in Africa create a source of employment for the local population Chinese construction projects in Africa still import about half of their workforce from. This inflow of Chinese labour into Africa has led to tensions with local communities, especially since the Chinese personnel generally do not attempt to assimilate Although cheaper Chinese manufactured goods benefit the African consumer, it threatens local business; the fear is that in the long-run this will harm local manufacturing capabilities and competitiveness Cheaper Chinese manufactured goods and services are more readily affordable to impoverished African consumers and provide them with access to new products Academic and athletic exchanges are also on the rise. In recent years, has sent about 12 coaches to 4 African countries to help them develop capabilities in certain sports such as table tennis There is great potential to reduce procurement costs when sourcing from, although this needs careful management Chinese labour practices in Africa are controversial. Chinese enterprises in Africa regularly pay relatively lower wages, offer poor working conditions and are against unionisation. This has led to protests and work stoppages at Chinese construction sites in Africa 's booming resource demand could decrease the incentive for African countries to diversify their economies and lessen their dependency on commodities, contributing to African countries susceptibility to swings in global prices 24 2 Strategic Levers Tap into / Asia opportunity / BRICS / Africa Hedge against global (developing country) risks Aware EXPORT DEVELOPMENT STRATEGIC COMPREHENSIVE SOURCING ENGAGEMENT Strategy and Implementation Sphere SHARING MARKETS (i.e. Africa) Supply raw materials, manufactures/services Understand variability, volatility & exceptions Strategic marketing Own end-user relationships Attract strategic capital Equity, debt, off-take, infrastructure Equity level / disposals Project level Procurement and supply chain a MUST Products & services CAPEX / projects MRO Action Develop strategic intelligence Be completely comfortable in the new world: BRICS/Asia/New Winners informed, strategic, systematic n n Generic Strategy Imperatives Advantages to Leverage Disadvantages to Counter Sectoral Advantages Cultural Astuteness Historical / Political legacy Managerial Skills Focused Niche Technologies Operational Tenacity Research - Based Flexible Implementable Learning Systems Right Partnerships Right People Low Start - Out Knowledge Limited Budgets Limited Scale and Scope No Patience / Commitment to i.e. No Integrated Approach Get Get the the Basics Right during Initial Engagement and and Entry Market Intelligence Relationships Due Diligence Structuring Appreciate and Leverage Appreciate the BRIC/Asia/New and Leverage the Winner - Africa Strategic Plane Understand Understand the BRIC/Asia/New the Chinese Winner System Systems History Culture Politics & Power Economic System A fragile global context in developed world and the World Asia is the foremost developing region in the world, led by,, Indonesia and Indo-.
