This article is blatant proof that some managers working to promote Morocco, such as within the Morocco Now Campaign at the international level trying to present its existing potential, skills, and opportunities for the sake of attracting foreign companies, foreign investors, and foreign academic or social institutions. Morocco spends millions to build an image of excellence in attractivity and attractiveness hoping such foreign capital will help reduce unemployment, increase job creation, transfer know-how, and raise the standard of living of citizens.

Imagine then that all its laudable efforts do not take the expected direction nor are carried by competent officials and seasoned and experienced professionals in corresponding areas of Marketing, brand definition, and the strategic enhancement of Morocco’s position on the international scene.

---

The expectations of the Moroccan State are legitimate given that the expenses that are made at the international level are heavy in sum and impact the returns received by Morocco.  Payments paid by Morocco for the services of foreign companies of Public Relations, International Marketing, and Consulting Firms are made with rates applied on the spot and in addition, are made in the national currency of the country where these companies offer their services. A direct impact on the balance of payments and the convertibility rate of the Dirham may result from these payment transfers.

Considering all these issues, the imperatives and the challenges facing Morocco at the global level are first the multiple repercussions at the intangible and material level. Building the foundations of economic development and growth in the liberal sense seeks foreign participation as the conduit toward integration in the global marketplace and to the network of foreign financial institutions. Within such a frame, it is quite normal to have top-level decision-makers for such international communication and PR about Morocco. They have to be up to the task and know the international terrain that will enable them to sail the vessel Made in Morocco and Morocco Now as Innovative and efficient Leaders on board, knowing effectively the direction and the objective – the destination of all these maneuvers to make this Moroccan vessel arrive safely and to make it a proof of the prowess and the skill and the potentialities that can challenge its competitors as well as organizations of all kinds potentially interested in Morocco as a commercial partner, as a production or investment location or as a destination to visit and to know at the cultural and social levels.

This campaign conducted at Dubai   Morocco Expo 2020 Dubai and the film promoting the launch of  Morocco Now both in Dubai and New York needs to convey the considerations, unfortunately, they did not and I am not the only one to underline it or to take note of it.  

The group presenting this promotion campaign in Morocco in Dubai and Morocco when asked about the impact of these two special promotions and especially how the choice of New York was made, their responses and reactions led through a bombardment by their friends of the media sites by judicious attempts in camouflage in a sheet of prestige and national pride by highlighting and questioning the meaning of patriotism and nationalism to those who dare to ask them such questions. ★

★These friends have coincidentally designated Times Square by the name of Time Square, showing their aptitudes for copying themselves and between themselves and demonstrating their glaring lack of knowledge of the field and New York as a Marketplace.

This article takes a look at such actions and reveals the ineptitude and incompetence of some of our managers, so-called Professionals.  

These officials who, once unmasked / and try to question our nationalism and our patriotism, wall themselves in their inability to understand our interrogations and our questions, and given their weakness they opted for the ultimate maneuvers that confirm their skipping, evading the core of their professional responsibilities by exiting through by the door from behind, the Emergency exit. They could not face the reality of the incoherence and incompetent actions.

I let you follow the course and the trajectory of such behavior of a Director of Communication and PR Mrs. Sahar Tlemsani Maghraoui who abruptly canceled her account on LinkedIn when she or one of her superiors realized that their practices have flaws and gaps and that they could not overcome by bogus explanations as they and she faced the common people in Morocco.

Their manipulation was faced with the competence wall of my questions and my interrogations which have only one goal, it is to return to the Moroccan what belongs to Morocco.

The installed capacity in renewables was 31.7% of the total installed capacity excluding step. If we are talking about the electricity mix, we must say 17.8% in 2020, and not 37%.

A picture is worth 1000 words

and in the case of Morocco is still confused with Monaco

Make A picture of Morocco that is worth and is an expression of 1000 and 1000 years of civilization.

The Map should be clearer.  Needs a better picture for such a promo and an international level of quality

There is harsh competition around the world just for looking good and where the first impression is the one that wins. 

In addition with all these generic and stereotyping trends, it is better not to give them the chance to expand.

At any cost do not make Morocco look in a FUZZY PICTURE LIKE THE ONE HERE with no quality presentation.

En plus, dans cette carte, on ne peut déchiffrer ni les noms des sites ni les liaisons de la logistique des transports.

Nigeria is blessed with abundant natural resources, especially crude oil. It is at times the largest oil producer in Africa and one of the top ten in the world. However, the country’s refining capacity has consistently been inadequate to meet the demands of its population and growing economy.

Nigeria’s refining infrastructure is plagued by inefficiency, underinvestment, and corruption. The country has four state-owned refineries that have become dysfunctional due to poor maintenance, outdated technology, and operational inefficiencies.

This deficit requires importing many of its fuel needs, leading to a complex and often controversial reliance on foreign fuel sources.

The government often subsidizes fuel to make it affordable, creating a huge financial burden on the state. While these subsidies are intended to alleviate economic hardship, they have also led to corruption and mismanagement.

Efforts have been made to address these challenges. The government has worked on various reforms, including partially removing the subsidy to improve the efficiency of the oil and gas sector, attract private investment, and increase local refining capacity.

The most notable development is the $20 billion Dangote Refinery, owned by Africa’s richest man, Aliko Dangote, with a refining capacity of 650,000 barrels per day. However, as the refinery is not yet operating at full capacity, Nigeria still imports fuel.

Beyond the fight, if things go as planned, Nigeria will stop importing fuel by August, as Dangote said. In 2023, Nigeria’s largest gasoline imports came from Togo, totaling $109.3 million, followed by Tunisia with $104.35 million, according to data from Trade Map, a global database on international trade statistics.

“THE FIELD OF PETROL DREAM IN NIGERIA” – BUILD IT, THEY WILL COME AS TROUBLE-MAKERS

Dangote recently revealed that some employees of the Nigerian National Petroleum Company (NNPC) Limited and oil traders, which own a blending plant off Malta, and international oil companies refusing to supply crude to its refineries, are among its challenges.

Alhaj Aliko Dangote GCON, the Founder /Chairman of Dangote Industries Limited speaks on the challenges of building his refinery in Lagos with the CNN anchor and correspondent, Eleni Giokos.

Growing Support from Business Leaders for Alhaji_Aliko_DANGOTE

Several prominent Nigerians, including former Vice President Atiku Abubakar, former Anambra State governor, Peter Obi, and business mogul Femi Otedola, have voiced their support for Dangote. Otedola praised Dangote as a visionary who has made significant investments in Nigeria.

He highlighted Dangote’s achievements, including building the largest single-train refinery in the world, the second-largest sugar refinery, and the largest cement factory, among other substantial industrial projects.

“My brother, the Visionary, has built the largest single train refinery in the world, not in Kano, but in Lagos State. He is the owner of the second-largest sugar refinery in the world, also in Lagos State, and the largest cement factory in the world, not in Kano, but in Kogi State,” Otedola said.

“Additionally, he has established one of the second-largest fertilizer plants in the world, soon to surpass the biggest one in Qatar, also in Lagos State. Furthermore, he has built a fertilizer plant in Lagos that already exports globally. Aliko Dangote is a titan that God created especially for mankind,” he continued.

Among other things, Otedola noted Dangote’s role as the largest private sector employer in Nigeria and a significant taxpayer. He also noted that Dangote Group’s contributions extend beyond industrial facilities to critical infrastructure projects, such as major roads in Lagos and Kogi states.

“His contributions extend beyond industrial facilities to critical infrastructure, having built major roads such as the Apapa Oshodi-Owonrosoki Express Road, Wharf Road, and the Obajana-Kabba Road,” he recounted.

Otedola advised the federal government to emulate other countries by supporting local industries like the Dangote Group for the country to thrive.

Buying and selling oil by Nigeria and the related process and processing with the advising and confirming accounts along the transfer and the convertibility as well as the deposit notes with their approval of the office of the currencies change with also the variations in the rate of change between the foreign currencies involved including the consolidation terms and conditions. The process of buying and selling oil in Nigeria involves several intricate steps and financial mechanisms. Here’s a breakdown of the key elements:

Buying and Selling Oil in Nigeria

Transaction Procedures:

• The Nigerian National Petroleum Corporation (NNPC) oversees the sale of crude oil. Buyers typically engage directly with NNPC or its approved resellers ¹.
• The process involves submitting bids for crude oil sale and purchase term contracts. Successful bidders are awarded contracts to lift and market Nigeria’s crude oil ².

Advising and Confirming Accounts:

• Letters of Credit (L/C): These are commonly used in oil transactions to ensure payment. An issuing bank provides a letter of credit to the seller, guaranteeing payment upon presentation of specified documents ³.
• Advising Bank: The issuing bank sends the L/C to an advising bank in the seller’s country, which verifies its authenticity and forwards it to the seller ⁴.
• Confirming Bank: Sometimes, a confirming bank adds its guarantee to the L/C, ensuring payment even if the issuing bank defaults ³.

Currency Convertibility:

• Oil transactions are typically conducted in U.S. dollars due to the petrodollar system ⁵. This system simplifies international trade by using a widely accepted currency.
• Currency convertibility refers to how easily a country’s currency can be exchanged for another. High convertibility is crucial for smooth international transactions ⁶.

Deposit Notes and Approval:

• Deposit Notes: These are financial instruments used to secure payment. They are often issued by banks and must be approved by relevant financial authorities ⁷.
• Office of Currency Exchange: This office oversees the approval of deposit notes and ensures compliance with currency exchange regulations ⁷.

Foreign Currency Exchange Rates:

• Exchange rates can significantly impact the cost and profitability of oil transactions. Fluctuations in exchange rates between the U.S. dollar and other currencies involved in the transaction must be carefully managed ⁸.
• Hedging strategies are often employed to mitigate the risks associated with exchange rate volatility ⁸.

Dangote African Carnegie and Rockefeller in Modern Time and Present Dimensions

America’s emergence as an industrial power in the late 19th century relied largely on two substances: oil and iron. And two people played an important role in providing this material.

Andrew Carnegie was born in Scotland in 1835 and his family moved to Pennsylvania when young Andrew was thirteen. John D. Rockefeller was born four years later in upstate New York, the son of a merchant who moved him to Cleveland when he was six.

Carnegie’s early work virtually traced the technological emergence of 19th-century America. He was a bobbin boy in a textile factory, a telegraph operator, and an engine supplier. He later worked on the railroads and oil wells. But at the age of 38, he established Keystone Iron Works, and he remained there until 1901. By that time, Keystone Iron had become American. Steel and Andrew Carnegie had become one of the richest men on the planet.

John D. Rockefeller went into business at the age of 20 and discovered his first oil well as a side hustle. He quickly understood that it was the right horse to ride. Even before automobiles and airplanes claimed a large share of oil, it had begun to replace coal in the electrical industries.

Carnegie and Rockefeller – both incredibly wealthy in the 20th century – came to give by two different paths: Even before reaching its peak, Carnegie wrote that a rich man’s life should take place in two stages: d First acquire wealth, then use that wealth to improve general well-being. And that’s what he did. He established the Carnegie Institute, the Tuskegee Institute, and many other schools. He became the patron saint of libraries. He created charitable foundations.

Rockefeller, on the other hand, began to relent when antitrust forces closed in on his Standard Oil Company. He also created charitable societies of all kinds to distribute excess money. He began by creating the University of Chicago. Whatever his motivations, Rockefeller gave birth to a dynasty of charitable giving that extends to the present day.

Andrew Carnegie is the best hero. After all, he was an integral part of the emerging technologies that shaped our country. And his gift flowed from a deeply held principle. Yet the Rockefeller clan took responsibility for public service. They became political leaders and professional donors: one of them died doing anthropological research in New Guinea.

Money creates responsibility. Sooner or later we realize that we can live in a decent world only when the money created by our technological foresight returns to increase the knowledge and beauty of this world.

Since my early studies at Institut des Etudes Politiques of the Grenoble University, the development, and integration of Africa were at the forefront of my studies and topics of my presentations in seminaries and essay papers. It was natural that I continue to work and increase awareness about Africa and its need to establish new kinds of relations with countries other than the past metropolitan and colonialists.

African Growth and Opportunity Act

During President Clinton and First Lady Hillary Rodham Clinton’s trip to Africa in 1998, Congress was considering the African Growth and Opportunity Act (AGOA). During the trip, President Clinton aimed to show Congress that Africa and the United States were ready to be partners in shared prosperity.

---

National Security Advisor Samuel “Sandy” Berger accompanied the President during this historic trip. Upon his return to Washington D.C., Berger compiled the lessons the participants had learned. These lessons learned showed the promise of the African trade bill that later became the African Growth and Opportunity Act. In September 1998, President Clinton made passage of the bill a top legislative priority to support African nations aiming for democracy and free markets.

In March 1999, the Clinton Administration called upon Congress to “expand opportunities in the United States and Africa by passing the Africa Growth and Opportunity Act.” In May 2000, President Clinton signed the African Growth and Opportunity Act and it has since formed the legislative basis for the United States’ trade with African nations.

ECOWAS wanted to run faster than the train of change crossing the region and they started singing faster than the music, now they can sell their musical instruments “Diplomyopique – Myopic Diplomacy” to the West before they oxidize and rust and relearn how to sing like a Griot and play the Kora, to harmonize with ancestral African wisdom.

ECOWAS, like any organization, should have taken into account the history, culture, and aspirations of the people it represents. The Songhai Empire, with its cultural richness and historical influence, offers valuable lessons for modern diplomacy.

“Diplomyopic”: Myopic diplomacy, which neglects historical and cultural roots, can lead to slippage and imbalances.

ECOWAS should consider how to harmonize its actions with ancestral African wisdom. Like a Griot playing the Kora, she could find a balance between tradition and modernity, between local rhythms and global melodies, and carefully navigate this African diplomatic concert, avoiding dissonance and playing melodies that resonate with the expectations of the people of the Sahel.

Diplomacy should not be a rat race, but rather a deliberate dance where every step counts.

On September 16, 2023, Burkina Faso, Mali, and Niger created the Alliance of Sahel States, a regional collective defense organization. According to the founding document, “the violation of the sovereignty or territorial integrity of one or more members of the charter will be considered an aggression against all parties and will require their assistance, individually.

On January 28, 2024, Burkina Faso, Mali, and Niger announced their joint decision to withdraw as soon as possible from ECOWAS, which they consider to be “under the influence of foreign powers, which has become a threat to Member States and their peoples. »

The creation of the AES occurred against a backdrop of numerous coups in the region and rising anti-Western sentiment in former French colonies. ECOWAS, by preferring to support fallen governments considered to be carrying out orders from Paris, is increasingly perceived in separatist countries as a puppet of Europe.

Nigerian President Bola Tinubu, who was re-elected as ECOWAS president over the weekend, faced domestic criticism for his support for an ECOWAS intervention in neighboring Niger, with which he shares centuries of ties and a territory of 1,600 km. border.

AES states also accuse the West of not doing enough to combat the insurgency in the Sahel, one of the main drivers of military takeovers in the region.

The Nigerien head of state, General Abdourahamane Tiani, called for the creation of a “community far from the influence of foreign powers”.

“Our people have irrevocably turned their backs on ECOWAS,” Tiani said at the Sahel group meeting, rebuffing calls from the bloc to return to the fold.

The Alliance of Sahel States [AES] became a confederation of some 72 million inhabitants on Saturday, to “take a further step towards greater integration between member states”

In a statement Mr. Diop quoted by Agence France-Presse, he specified that “Our heads of state [during the summit of the Alliance of Sahel States held in Niamey on July 6, 2024] indicated that the withdrawal of the three countries from ECOWAS was irreversible. We must stop looking in the rearview mirror” while emphasizing that “Mali remains open to cooperation with ECOWAS”. The minister also spoke out against the possible introduction of visas for citizens of Burkina Faso, Mali and Niger traveling to ECOWAS countries.

The price of the following always results in a slippage by excess speed for ECOWAS. AES-ECOWAS relations deteriorated considerably following the coup d’état of July 26, 2023, that brought General Tiani to power.

The American army announced on July 7, 2024 that it had completed the withdrawal of its troops from Niger, a month before the German military contingent did the same.

Niger’s new ruling military regime canceled treaties with its Western allies after sharply criticizing last year’s coup, which deposed democratically elected Mohamed Bazoum.

“The Ministry of Defense of Niger and the American Department of Defense announce that the withdrawal of American forces and equipment from Base 101 in Niamey is now complete,” the two countries indicated in a joint press release.

Attempt to Control by ECOWAS the Slippage of “Diplomyopic – Myopic Diplomacy”

ECOWAS is behind in notes and score harmony and politically and diplomatically behind as it is in this politically incorrect photo

On July 7, 2024, the ECOWAS leadership asked the presidents of Senegal and Togo to speak with the leaders of Burkina Faso, Mali and Niger to try to bring them back into the ranks of the community. The New Senegalese President is sent with such a message or else he will be put in a cacophonous concert having no place to be heard and not playing with instruments that he recently used to get elected as the first young president in Africa.

Senegalese President Basirou Diomaye Faye was not born when ECOWAS was created and is being asked to reunify the bloc divided by coups. The Senegalese president was chosen at the ECOWAS summit as envoy to reach out to separatist states for reconciliation. Sources say his Togolese counterpart, Faure Gnassingbé, also worked behind the scenes as a negotiator between ECOWAS and the AES.

ECOWAS has not thought about the History of the Songhai Empire and the Will for Freedom of the People of the Sahel which extends from the Atlantic to the Red Sea. Now ECOWAS sees Blue, White and Red without the Sahel countries.

ECOWAS Achieves Its Uncontrolled and Displaced Diplomyopic Slippage

ECOWAS then took heavy economic sanctions against Niger and threatened to intervene militarily to restore the deposed president, Mohamed Bazoum, to his functions. The sanctions have since been lifted in February, but relations between the two camps remain frosty, despite calls from certain presidents – Senegalese and Mauritanian in particular – to renew dialogue.

The ECOWAS grouping of West African countries has warned that the region faces “disintegration” after three military leaders cemented their own separatist union over the weekend.

The parallel meetings of ECOWAS, on July 7, 2024 in Abuja, and the Alliance of Sahel States (AES) – comprising Burkina Faso, Mali and Niger – in Niamey, the capital of Niger, revealed on Saturday the July 8, 2024 growing fissures within the unstable group, pitting neighbors against each other.

Rules of Origin (RoO) are the administrative rules and criteria used to determine the origin status of products that are traded across borders in any country trading in the product’s international market of exchange, sales, purchase, and acquisition.

The Rules of Origin (RoOs) are legal provisions that determine the national origin of products traded under the African Continental Free Trade Area (AfCFTA). These rules are important because they establish criteria for which products can receive preferential market access and tariff benefits. The RoOs are product-specific, rather than general rules that apply to all goods.

International Conference on Africa

★ EBCITD & GLOCENTRA ★

International Conference on Africa, Berkeley, California, USA

Since my early studies at Institut des Etudes Politiques of the Grenoble University, the development, and integration of Africa were at the forefront of my studies and topics of my presentations in seminaries and essay papers. It was natural that I continue to work and increase awareness about Africa and its need to establish new kinds of relations with countries other than the past metropolitan and colonialists.
Below among other pictures, there is a photo taken in the company with the Regretted Dr. Babacar Ndiaye, former CEO of the African Development Bank Group who holds firmly my hand and is standing at my left side.

I initiated and developed a work plan for the organization of The International Conference on Africa took place in 2001. The first time in the history of the Bay Area of San Francisco and North California to have a conference of such magnitude and subject. that I submitted to Fazale Sharif the Director of the EBCITD which I was the initiator and for which I participated directly in its organization. I contacted and invited Dr. Babacar Ndiaye and in the following photo, the event/photo took place during an International Conference on Africa I had organized in Oakland, California, and of which Dr. Babacar Ndiaye, Rahimahu Allah was our Guest of Honor.

Below are listed links which content present among others some illustrations of my activities concerning the Integration of Africa with which I was directly involved, including the facilitation of the signing of the Free Trade Agreement between the United States and Morocco.

For many among us, time flies through horizons without leaving traces on recognition and gratitude on what we have achieved for the good for others especially in my case not be born in the United States but I remain up to now the maker of differences between cultures and the guardian of the memories I cherish and remember through my meetings and interactions with the real treasuries of the Humanity.

On my right hand is Dr. Faheem Director of the Center for International Trade Development, on the other left side and holding my hand is Dr. Boubacar N’diaye, Chairman of the African Development Bank from 1985 to 1995 and honorary chairman of the same institution (Rest in Peace among the Blessed ones, Ameen)

I extended the invitation to Dr. Boubacar N’diaye for his presence among us at this International Conference on Africa.  He was delighted about my presentation and we also sat together and had lunch at the same table.  Wonderful Man with full love for Africa and Africans and who initiated a series of important financial and operational measures: the African Businessmen Round Table, the creation of the African Bank for import-export (Afreximbank), and the setting up of special easy financing for the African private sector (investors and entrepreneurs) without the guarantee of their governments.The Conference Room was packed with U.S. and Foreign officials and Executives as well as faculties and Researchers on Africa and the Place where all these interactions took place was the fabulous and monumental Claremont Hotel in Berkeley, Northern California.

Africa and Entrepreneurial Drive

Entrepreneurial Career Choice

Several major career development theorists have contributed to the literature on careers. Dyer’s (1994) Model of Entrepreneurial Careers and the Social Cognitive Career Theory (SCCT) developed by Lent, Brown, and Hackett (1994) are two of the most accepted and validated models in the career literature. Dyer’s Model of Entrepreneurial Careers explores four components of the theory of entrepreneurial careers, such as career selection, career socialization, career orientation, and career development (Dyer, 1994).

Entrepreneur and Mentor: Tandem for Operational Innovation

According to our model, entrepreneurial career choice can be influenced by individual factors such as “mentorship”, entrepreneurial attitudes, social factors such as role models, and economic factors such as availability of a resource network, economic resources, and believe in innovation.

The idea of infusing entrepreneurship into education has spurred much enthusiasm in the last few decades. A myriad of effects has been stated to result from this, such as economic growth, job creation, and increased societal resilience, but also individual growth, increased school engagement, and improved equality. Putting this idea into practice has however posed significant challenges alongside the stated positive effects. Lack of time and resources, teachers’ fear of commercialism, impeding educational structures, assessment difficulties, and lack of definition clarity are some of the challenges practitioners have encountered when trying to infuse entrepreneurship into education.

The Certificate of Entrepreneurship Program at the AIEA aims to prepare creative practitioners and entrepreneurial-minded innovators to become valuable contributors to the fields of business, economics, culture, and community at large. Entrepreneurs combine creative, cultural, social, and entrepreneurial spirit to forward innovation goals that invest in communities while solving problems with market-based approaches for the greater good.

The Entrepreneurial Program Advantage at the American Institute of Entrepreneurship in Africa

Selecting and Developing the Business Case

The key task behind planning and assessment of an entrepreneurial motive and idea is developing an understanding of the organization to be assessed through an analysis of the following steps that evaluate the business case.

The Entrepreneurial Management Process 

Entrepreneurial Drive

Understand how to educate Entrepreneurs and Business Leaders on the realistic impacts of identified aspects of the SWOT approach, presenting potential strategies to mitigate those impacts, then enacting the option chosen by the business in line with accepted levels of business risk tolerance.

NEXT LEVEL – CRITICAL THINKING

Critical thinking is so often a forgotten aspect of the risk analysis and assessment process, yet it is fundamental to risk analysis and assessment. Understanding how to formulate a question, knowing what you’re looking for, and how that information is applied is indispensable to this process of risk assessment. By exploring other points of view and understanding other perspectives, you learn more about the subject, can reflect on the information you have, and how you feel.

Identification of Entrepreneurial Drive Through Critical Thinking / SWOT

Learn to identify and characterize the organization’s assets in the context of critical thinking – the basis for all good analysis. This is the foundation for criticality and consequence analysis as well as​ for a majority of probability analysis, vulnerability analysis, and risk analysis itself that can be conducted through the SWOT Approach.

Comprehending the Strengths, Weaknesses, Opportunities, and Threats is the first step in Entrepreneurial Assessment.

Analyzing the Strengths and Opportunities

The scope should define the processes, functions, activities, physical boundaries (facilities and locations), and stakeholders within the boundaries of the risk assessment program.

• What is the scope of the entrepreneurial project as defined by the planning process?
• Is it meeting the entrepreneurial’s objectives one of the strengths?
• Does the planning process consider the context of the organization, its needs, and requirements?
• Learn how to match the scope to the resources available to reach the next level of implementation.

Treatment of the Weaknesses and Threats

Weaknesses and Threats are rating scales that are defined concerning an entrepreneur’s objectives and scope. They are typically measured in terms of impact and occurrence. Impact scales of Weaknesses and Threats should translate the units of measure used for organizational objectives, which may reflect different types of impact such as financial, competition, and/or management of products, services, human resources, and customer/client relationships.

ENTREPRENEURSHIP and CHANGE MANAGEMENT 

Managing the change process by example of leadership and reallocating human resources and competencies for adequate productivity, teamwork, discipline, accountability, and reaching the same goals while sharing the same benefits with equity and responsibility.

Entrepreneur – Manager and Change Management

• The Role of the Management is not only to Change just the shape of the Bottle
• The Role of the Management is not only to Change the Label
• The Role of the Management is not only to Change the Distributors of the Bottle
• The Role of the Management is not only to Change the Consumers and Buyers of the Bottle

Putin to visit North Korea and Vietnam

Russian state media reported Monday that President Vladimir Putin will travel to North Korea and Vietnam in the coming weeks as Moscow tries to build influence among middle powers in Asia.

This will be Putin’s first trip to Pyongyang in 24 years, and he’ll find the city much changed. In 2000, the massive unfinished Ryugyong Hotel loomed skeletally over Stalinist-era apartment blocks, in an almost-too-on-the-nose metaphor for the country’s paranoid and feeble state two years after the 1994-1998 mass famine. Putin was in town to officially reestablish relations with North Korea, which had ruptured following the collapse of the Soviet Union.

Today, the DPRK’s economy can now support a level of prosperity in Pyongyang — including cladding for that still-empty hotel, and some high-rises nearby to soften the landscape. It also now has nuclear weapons to protect itself from the US and artillery shells Russia needs in Ukraine, meaning Putin has to show up with something a little more high-tech in hand.

He’s previously pledged to help North Korea put spy satellites in orbit, which it accomplished for the first time last year. But a subsequent launch this May, which South Korean intelligence believes was aided by Russian technicians, exploded shortly after takeoff. Nonetheless, North Korean leader Kim Jong Un says he wants to launch three more spy satellites this year, and we have our eye out for any indication of where the cooperation might go from here.

The Vietnam leg is less juicy by comparison. Hanoi and Moscow have a tight military relationship stretching back to the early Cold War, but Vietnam has recently been courting better relations with the US to offset threats from China. We’re expecting a carefully choreographed visit with little that could rock the boat.
