ACLAIM Africa Limited acknowledges that whilst industrial and service firms and organizations in other parts of the world have prospered due to improvements in technology, human resources, markets and firm as well as individual capabilities, Africa’s position in the global economy has continued to lag behind the rest. ACLAIM recognizes that the challenge of achieving industrially-driven growth with appropriate productivity levels is indeed a challenge for leadership in Africa. Thus, ACLAIM has come out to promote the debate on the nature of required action to upgrade the economies of African countries, and seek to promote the capacity building required to meet this challenge.
Globalization is a phenomenon that has continued to create both challenges and opportunities businesses. This is because production systems have changed as a result of advanced technological dynamics. Consequently, as countries open up market economies, African business leaders and Chief Executives face the challenges of global competition.
The CEOs in Africa would like to stay current with the realities faced by their counterparts in the developed economies. As a result, a number of CEOs and company directors appreciated the idea of “making time” to learn from one another under the aegis of the “Africa Management Forum”.
