Research and Markets (http://www.researchandmarkets.com/reports/c83137) has announced the addition of “State of the African Outsourcing Industry: 2008” to their offering.
In the past 40 years, advanced computers and communications have transformed one region of the globe after another - first, the US and Europe; then Japan, Korea, and Taiwan; and most recently, India, China. Latin America and Eastern Europe are both revolutionalising by leaps.
Could Africa be next?
Despite civil wars, malnutrition, ruthless leaders and the anguish of the AIDS epidemic, some remarkable attempts have been made in establishing business centers - which must be nurtured if Africa is to thrive economically.
Still, with a population of 933 million, 50% of which are under 20 years of age, Africa may be about as far away as it gets from becoming a leading low cost, global, high tech services and outsourcing supplier.
