To make the right decision to coping with problems,
leaders or managers, at government or corporate level
need to start with flawless assumptions and well defined
ideas.
Indeed, taking as assumptions false beliefs, politically
correct majority opinion or plain baseless theoretical
ideas could lead managers to making the wrong analysis
and taking bad decisions. Consequently these wrong decisions
may prove, in short or long term, devastating to the
profit making potential of the company or the country.
For instance
the basic concept that initiated the
New Partnership For Africa's Development
- NEPAD
- is Regional Development.
NEPAD' sponsors are convinced Regional Development is
the solution to solving the developing gap existing
between Africa and the rest of the world. The Regional
Development concept itself arising from the alleged
"weak" purchasing power of the population
in each individual African country.
Could we adhere to that conceptual
analysis and accept it as a valid foundation to promoting
the economic development of the continent? Are we sure
doing so we Africans are not taking the wrong road?
A misleading road on which we will wander for a long
time without reaching the haven of prosperty?
This delivery is a contribution to the debate.
Here are considered, analyzed
and exposed some prevailing economic basic ideas, currently
accepted by African decision-makers, which are, in our
point of view, misleading and hindrances on the road
to proper economic planning for Africa's emerging nations.
Such as the alleged "narrowness" of national consumer
base in each individual African country and the state's
involvement into the developing process.
Searching for the accurate and flawless definition of
basic ideas before any human undertaking is the sure
recipe to success. Otherwise all efforts are just waste
of time and end in painful failure - not to speak of
disaster.
This article, is a continuation to previous delivery
titled: Strategy for African Countries - available
here
-. It adds more arguments to demonstrating why we strongly
believe in "The African Renaissance"
as here
discussed.
