An Interdependent Global Economy
• In 2010 the World Bank published the book titled: “Global Value Chains in a Postcrisis World: A Development Perspective”
• It stated that “the world is in the midst of a sporadic and painful recovery from the most severe economic crisis since the 1930s Great Depression. The unprecedented scale of the crisis and the speed of its transmission have revealed the interdependence of the global economy and the increasing reliance by businesses on global value chains (GVCs). These chains represent the process of ever-finer specialization and geographic fragmentation of production, with the more labour-intensive portions transferred to developing countries. As the recovery unfolds, it is time to take stock of the aftereffects and to draw lessons for the future. Have we experienced the first global crisis of the 21st century or a more structural crisis of globalization?”
• A significant realization

The Need To Think Differently
• In 2012 the World Economic Forum published its annual The Global Enabling Trade Report 2012 under the theme “Reducing Supply Chain Barriers” where it explores how the globalization of value chains impacts measurement of trade and overall trade policies, as well as addresses logistics investments, customs administration and state of the merchant fleet.
• It stated that “To reflect the changing global economic structure, our system of measuring economic activity and our policy orientation, which are still sovereign based, must be expanded and adjusted. This requirement does not contradict the need to build a domestic industrial base, but rather complements it. The world has become highly integrated by information technology, global supply chains, and trade and capital flow linkages—in large part because of the ownership-based operating model. To stick strictly to a model tailored to national boundaries is neither progressive nor realistic.”
• Another significant realization

The Global Operating Model

Hopeless Case Or Hopeless Forecast?
“Floods in Mozambique; threats of famine in Ethiopia (again); mass murder in Uganda; the implosion of Sierra Leone; and a string of wars across the continent. The new millennium has brought more disaster than hope to Africa. Worse, the few candles of hope are flickering weakly.”
“Since The Economist regrettably labelled Africa ‘the hopeless continent’ a decade ago, a profound change has taken hold.”

Efficiency of the clearance process
Time predictability is core to efficient supply chains. There is a clear correlation between the efficiency of the clearance process and time predictability of import procedures
resulting in more efficient supply chains.

Efficiency Drive Predictability
For the Asian Tigers there is a high correlation between the clearance process efficiency and time predictability – evidence of their supply chain success. The relation holds true for
most of the African economies but of lesser correlation.

Quality of port infrastructure
Improved port quality does not necessarily guarantee in increased liner shipping connectivity. It means maintaining the current services.

Port Infrastructure Outpaces
For Asian Tigers and BRIC countries port infrastructure and intermodal change are well balanced, making for efficient supply chains. For most of Africa though, port infrastructure
outpaces the hinterland links resulting in inefficient supply chains.

Ease and affordability of shipments are largely driven by local logistics competence although more so by international logistics competence in some countries.

Economic Diversification (Manufacturing & Services sector share of GDP, %)

Conclusions
• The Asian Tigers still outstrip the sample field by far.• Diversified economies are comparative to BRIC countries except for
Infrastructure and Technology.• Diversified economies outstrip the other African economic
groupings, probably due to higher levels of complexity and the requirements in their supply chains. They are also more globally connected.
• The Oil Exporters generally lag the field in logistics infrastructure and services, mainly due to the fact that the resource nature of their exports is pipeline orientated rather than container.
• The Transition and Pre-transition economies general find themselves in 2nd and 3rd place in the African groupings across categories, signifying the need of their supply chains as they move to the diversification.
• The framework sets an agenda for the development of efficient supply chains that can integrate into the larger global value chains.

In 2012 A Man Fell From Space*
It was a fall that caught the imagination of all humanity. But it was a thousand years of human imagination that caught him.
*Ok, the actual border of “space” is much higher than the altitude Felix’s capsule attained, the lowest point being the Kármán line, recognized by aeronautic agencies at 100 km (62 miles) up. Still, Felix was above 99% of Earth’s atmosphere, where air pressure is virtually non-existent and the sky above is black. I don’t know about you, but that’s good enough for me!
