Africa’s Chaging Role in Global Supply Chains
EIU, 2015
What's inside?
Many companies see low labor costs and ample natural resources as opportunities to develop supply chain capabilities in Africa.
Recommendation
As this illuminating report from the Economist Intelligence Unit reveals, Africa holds a number of drawing cards as a supply chain hub, including ample raw materials, cheap labor costs and relative proximity to Europe. More and more, Africa’s national governments are laying out the welcome mat of incentives for companies, while the continent’s small but growing middle-class consumer base should spur increased local demand. getAbstract recommends this timely study on a growing region to operations executives contemplating a move into Africa.
