Competition in Africa’s Business Environment
Now that Africa is becoming one of the world’s best business venue, competition might get tougher. All types of businesses will need a more intense and effective business modeling to keep up with the heat of the battle. Doing business in Sub-Saharan Africa will become harder to bear because of the rise of more foreign investments.
Competition in Africa’s business sector is expected to become tighter. This is all because of the growing number of investors being invited by the region’s overall growth. Countries with large economies were the premiere investors in Africa. One of them is China which focuses on oil, mining and infrastructure business. But as always the first one to come is the one who gets much of the advantage. This is why Chinese investors are making the most of the moment while everything is still fresh and hot. China is one of Africa’s best business partner right now. With their wide spread investments, the continent is helped out to cater the needs of Africans. United States is also one of the primary investor in Africa. These two countries are perceived as two banging stones in African business and in the global economy.
But as experts said, no business in Africa will be cornered or get left sagging in their respective industries. Africa has a very competitive natural resources, enough to sustain the life of any African business. Plus, the large population of the continent is a great prospect to become consumers. The consuming behavior of most people are also improving. More people are introduced to innovations. Slowly but surely, Africans are embracing them to make their daily living better. A tighter competition can only be a disadvantage for businessmen if they don’t know how to abide it.
On a brighter side, competition in Africa’s business environment will spur growth on the continent’s different sectors. It will stimulate progress through innovation and greater productivity. More production means more supply. Like in food business, if there are more ventures on food production, people will never run out of sources. Lesser rate will suffer from hunger. ICT is also one of the most improved sector. Majority of the population of the whole continent is seeking for something that will make their life more convenient. Anywhere you look at, you will find someone asking for a change. What Africa needs is more investments on their ICT, agriculture, education, health services, infrastructure, etc.. You can be the one that they are looking for.
Competition just needs to be fair and everything else will end up positive. Competitors are not there to thwart you from achieving your goals. There’s nothing that can stop you from getting what you want if you badly want it. Problem can come in the form of poor management and ineffective decision making but can be resolved through business consulting.

What is the business environment like in Netherlands?
I’m preparing project for my loan structuring classes about Dutch pension fund and need to know the business environment in the country.
Your question is pretty broad. Do you want to know about loans in the Netherlands, about Dutch pension funds or about the economy and business environment in general?
The Dutch economy is on the rise and the Netherlands have quite a good investment climate for businesses. Taxes are relatively low, so you see quite a few multi-nationals having their seat in the Netherlands. I reckon the business climate is quite good, since we have been a trading nation and we do not produce much ourselves (we’re mainly into services) we need an attractive business climate.
Recently pension funds have been criticised for investing in arms industries, so some are revising their investment strategy to politically/socially more acceptabel industries to invest in.
