The government of South Africa, through its Department of Trades and Industry, and automakers operating in that country overhauled the sector and created a reputation for quality in the global market. During the apartheid era South Africa was isolated, and this situation failed South Africa in a uncompetitive auto industry. Now, international automakers have started to come in South Africa and invest money into their local operations, and those operations have struggled to prove that they can cut costs and produce world-class

In economic development history, early nineteenth-century Prussia acquire knowledge from Britain; in the mid nineteenth-century Meiji Japan acquire knowledge from Germany; in the eighteenth-century Britain acquired knowledge from Holland; post-World War II Europe acquired knowledge from the United States; and recently Deng Xiaoping's China acquired their development knowledge from Japan. Through a process of institutional borrowing and innovative adaptation most underdeveloped economies have been transformed to advanced economies. This successful economic institutions and innovative technologies have spread round the world, and thereby boosting global growth. The developed economy growth policies have, actually, been time-tested and their durability is a strong signal for their reliability. The 'success' stories of the transition economies, may additionally be quite instructive to African economies if the continent can adopt it with better underlying economic policies.
Nowadays, opportunities of this kind of "policy arbitrage" tend to arises, if African countries would only take the time to learn from other nations successes it will result in a remarkable economic transformation for the continent, that can led to another "regional miracle" like the "Asian miracle" but this time it will be the "African miracle".

For any country that wants to survive in the toughest of times, they need to have good trading capabilities. Very few countries are able to sustain themselves without indulging in intensive trade with other countries. Trading has been considered a good thing in the past, but with the changing world, there are doubts about the benefits of trading. There are some factors that lead to the development of trade networks between countries. When people started to settle in larger towns, the idea that you had to produce absolutely everything for survival, began to fade.

Africa In World Politics: Engaging a Changing Global Order by John Harbenson and Donald Rothchild gives an analysis of how Africa has changed from being a European ruled colonial nation to a nation that it creating a name for itself in the global sphere. Beginning with Africa’s politics during the colonial era through the present. The book provides not only details about Africa but also how the changing world has affected African politics. The main focus of this book is to show the growth Africa has had since its time of colonization. Africa has grown as the world has changed although it has had to deal with internal conflicts and demands for political change due to its authoritarian regimes.
Before the arrival of the Europeans, African accomplished many achievements across all of their cities, empires and, kingdoms that defined their nation. Their achievements can be split into three groups, economics, politics, and culture. Before the fifteenth and sixteenth centuries, the African people developed great kingdoms in which they established a great way of life for themselves. The African empires, kingdoms and cities had a vast amount of achievements before the arrival of the Europeans, they had a great economy due to their plentiful trading, as well as a vivid culture lead by the generosity of their government. Africa 's thriving economy was mostly due to the consistent trading across the world.
The industrial revolution propelled African imperialism to a level the world had never seen before. During the late 19th century, borders in Europe became difficult to alter and the only way to expand was in other continents like Africa. Europe exposed Africa’s weakness and preyed on them, leaving the continent in disarray. The industrial revolution induced African imperialism for economic prosperity, the rise in cultural and social power, and political motives. Economic prosperity had a major impact on the advancement of African imperialism.
RESPONSE PAPER ON ALEXANDER GERSCHENKRON ECONOMIC BACKWARDNESS IN HISTORICAL PERSPECTIVE Response paper ALEXANDER GERSCHENKRON, ECONOMIC BACKWARDNESS IN HISTORICAL PERSPECTIVE Introduction Gerschenkron in the Economic Backwardness in Historical Perspective which focused on how relatively backward economies lagged the economic basics for industrialization. And set out the " Elements of backwardness" and "The States and The Banks; Social Attitudes, Entrepreneurship, and Economic Development", and summarized in "The Approach to European Industrialization”. Central idea of Gerschenkron The central idea of Gerschenkron is encouraging industrial growth.
Following the Industrial Revolution was an age known as the age of imperialism. The Age of Imperialism is defined as the time period in which all the European nations decided to colonize Africa. There was only one question that seems to come up again and again. What was the motive for colonizing Africa? Although there are many different reasons that the European nations decided to move in on Africa, there are only a few that stand out over the others.
In the race of European imperialism, European countries dominated innocent African colonies. The driving force behind this? Africa’s bountiful resources. Before Africa’s colonization, the European presence in Africa was extremely limited, mainly due to lack of exploration and diseases (Background Essay). However, this changed as European prominence became largely influential through the discovery of Africa’s resource rich lands.
During the period of imperialism in Africa all of the countries were competing for the title of being the richest and the strongest. In fact, the whole scramble for Africa was an opportunity for countries to enhance their overall economy. For example, King Leopold II of Belgium was determined to get the area of land so he can become more wealthy. France’s politicians thought that an overseas company would strengthen the country when it came to wealth, prestige, and power, so as a result they invested in land more toward the west and north-west. Britain wanted to protect their trading routes which required them to purchase land in East Africa, and they they soon discovered the rewards of the land so the were determined to obtain as much as possible.

Market structures describe the competitive environment in which a firm operates. The characteristics of the market structure will have a major-influence on the competitive strategies and tactics that are implemented by firms. (Octotutor, 2014). For the purpose of this analysis, I have chosen to analyze the Coco-Cola Company, which operates in an oligopoly. This type of market has many implications for both consumers and competing firms.
Instead the China-Africa trade has brought some impact on Africa’s market traders and also contributed to poverty. Mercantilism is failing Africa, particularly the SSA. Most of African states are still poor and majority of their citizens still lives in poverty. The trade between China and African is not mutually beneficial, because African states benefit less while China benefit most.
