Adding to our discussion this week (talking internationally) it is good to mention that a stable government with consistent laws will help establish an environment (modern roads, ports, river ways, rail, airports) where businesses can flourish.

A distribution channel must have the infrastructure needed to deliver on the promise/commitment made to the consumer.

Remember was a business is:

1) It creates a product or service (wanted or needed);

2) It employs people who earn wages to live, spend their money to drive the locally economy, pay taxes;

3) It purchases items from suppliers and utilities, creating revenue streams to these businesses to the same;

4) It pays taxes;

5) If it is a good corporate sponsor, it can support local schools, organizations and sports teams.

This is a small list of the many great things a business can do. When things go wrong, it is usually due to POOR leadership and planning. This cannot be understated.

Are there any in disagreement with this?
