With all that going on it did a rising for prices and globalization of finance.…

    We all know Africa is a poor, underdeveloped country, especially compared to rich, highly developed countries like America or Europe. Despite that fact, Africa is on the rise, thanks to globalization. According to a recent article by The Epoch Times, of the world’s fastest growing economies, 5 of the top 12 and 11 of the top 20 are now in Africa. The globalization of technology in Africa is making the continent more connected to the rest of the world economically, politically, and socially. Globalization of democratic governmental practices (democracy, neoliberalism, etc.) are transforming African governments into positive, sustainable governments. A sustained world commodity price increase and globalization of African commodities have also had a great impact on economic growth.…

    Shared Knowledge

    This brings up the concepts of personal knowledge and shared knowledge. Personal knowledge depends on the experiences of a particular individual because everyone is living life differently. On the other hand, shared knowledge is the product of more than one individual as it binds different ideas together. Shared knowledge is pretty much a collection of personal knowledge. For example, my personal knowledge is that Taylor Swift is the best singer of all time, but a shared knowledge would be Taylor Swift is a singer. Knowing this, the knowledge becomes the truth; however, it all depends on the individual. The individual must make the choice to believe in it or not. People cannot force others to believe in what they believe is true. Or can they?…

    Abstract- Information sharing is a major strategy to counteract the bullwhip effect. Previous research suggested that applying different ISS(information sharing strategy) to the supply chain may improve the supply chain performance under a simplified two-level supply chain model. In this paper, we present a simulation study that investigates the effectiveness of information sharing under different information sharing strategy scenarios within a complex multi-level supply chain model. In our research, a computer model is developed to simulate the complex multi-level supply chain model. The simulation data and results analysis show both distributors and suppliers gain significantly from information sharing no matter under different information sharing strategy except retailers and different information sharing strategy has great influence on supply chain performance. Keywords- information sharing; information sharing strategy; bullwhip effect; multi-level supply chain model; simulation…

    Walter Rodney in his seminal book- ‘How Europe Under developed Africa’ prescribed a sort of developmental template for Africa. Rodney argued, “African independence was … the threshold of a new era … “(Rodney, 2012:279). Rodney wrote at the time when most African States were emerging from colonialism. However, decades after most African States got independence, the thoughts of Rodney remained unrealistic. The state of economic development in Africa generally provokes feelings of disillusionment. This writing undertakes a rethink on the treatise of Walter Rodney. In particular, the endemic corruption in Africa and the re-looting of recovered loot in Nigeria.…
