    In Nigeria, 50 percent of population lived on less than one US dollar per day. Of this, 65 percent lived in rural areas. A direct result of this could be seen on the handset ownership among the rural poor (one percent). The absence of a reliable national electricity grid in these areas raised the issue of higher operating costs for the mobile service provider due to running and maintenance of diesel generators needed to power the mobile base station sites. In addition to which, the threats of thefts and vandalism of expensive equipment at these sites were also challenges facing Celtel, the second largest mobile telecommunication company in Nigeria in 2007. The company was unable to raise awareness about their shift using conventional marketing strategies such as billboards as they were stolen, recycled or reused.…

    In a free market economy, individuals/corporations are allowed to own property and other assets. Ownership provides incentive for people to work hard, be innovative and creative; all while hoping to attain additional wealth. Sequentially, the desire from individuals/corporations to accumulate wealth enhances the whole economy and generates economic growth. In contrast, in a state-directed economy, individuals/corporations are not allowed to own substantial quantities of property and other assets. The objective of a state-directed economy is for everyone to work for “the good of the society.” Although this seems like an honorable ideal, a system that asks individuals to work for “the good of the society” rather than allowing individuals to gain wealth does not provide a great incentive for people to work hard, be innovative and creative. This leads to state-directed economies typically generating less innovation and less efficiency than free market economies.…

    According to a June 5, 2013 news article in the MSNBC Post, “China’s strength could become its weakness”, by John W Schoen talks about why China is imbalanced. China economy is based on very little regulations. China is trying to allow market forces to set interest and exchange rates and encourage greater competition from privately owned companies in Beijing. Considering this was to happen, China would then need to look into protection of intellectual property. That’s when it becomes a problem for China because the United States will be affected by debt and the United States debt is diplomatic to China.…

    In a fixed exchange rate system, exchange rates are either held constant or allowed to fluctuate only within very narrow boundaries. A fixed exchange rate would be beneficial to a country for the following reasons. First, exporters and importers could engage in international trade without concern about exchange rate movements of the currency to which their local currency is linked. Any firms that accept the foreign currency as payment would be insulated from the risk that the currency could depreciate over time…
