What Should You Do If Your Company is About to Be Nationalized?
By [http://ezinearticles.com/?expert=Lance_Winslow]Lance Winslow
Today, we have a real problem in the world as countries start to nationalize business assets. We are not so innocent in the US as we might believe; as in Auto, Healthcare, Banking, Insurance Industries for instance. Still, the real issues, which are even more serious are those in the Latin American countries such as; Ecuador, Bolivia, Venezuela, and who knows what other surprises are on the horizon.
So, what advice can I give to companies that are worried about being nationalized? Well, if you find out the government is going to make such a move why not start moving out your most expensive assets.
Act as if you are oblivious and move in lots of crappy old equipment pretending you are doing up-grades, this will cause the leadership of the nation to wait, until you bring in more stuff, so they can take it, their greed will get the best of them. Even go so far as to announce major upgrades which you hope to have completed by; stated date.
Set up sabotage systems which you can set in motion if they overtake your facility with military force and kick you out, these systems should self implode various key infrastructure components, within a few weeks. Tell the national leaders you will assist them in the transfer, but get your family out of the country and plan your escape.
Lastly, have friends and feelers left so you can see the nation crumble after taking your company's assets and witness those failures online, through media, and enjoy your life in some paradise somewhere in the world. When the nation crashes completely, they'll invite you back after the regime change. Please consider all this.

Port Elizabeth's New Deep-Water Harbour, Nggura, Open For Business
By [http://ezinearticles.com/?expert=Sandy_Cosser]Sandy Cosser
In October 2009, South Africa launched a new deep-water harbour in Port Elizabeth. The harbour, named Nggura, at the mouth of the Coega River in Algoa Bay is one of the few deep-water ports in Africa that is capable of managing large modern container vessels, rather than the medium-sized ships handled at most other South African and African ports.
Nggura was put to the test with its first commercial container vessel, the MSC Catania, a 300-metre long and 13-metre deep ship. Two teams of port operators offloaded and handled the ship's containers in a successful trial operation that made use of state-of-the-art Liebherr ship-to-shore cranes. With an average time of 19 containers per hour, the harbour master, port authorities and port agents will be more than pleased with the first results.
According to a Transnet statement cited by business.iafrica.com, the deep-water harbour will be able to accommodate 'Ultra-Mega' ships that are capable of carrying 6,000 to 10,000 TEUs (20-foot equivalent units), and will be able to handle more than 100 container moves per ship working hour. There is also scope to grow capacity to 2 million TEUs. In addition, the port has good connections to road and rail freight transport.
Nggura's deep-water harbour is part of the Coega Industrial Development Zone, an initiative to boost the economy in South Africa's Eastern Cape Province. But its economic benefits will have a significant impact for South Africa, especially as the Senegal coast is beset by pirates and any ships that would have docked along that part of the coast are being directed further south to South Africa. Rob Jeffrey, a director and senior economist at Econometrix believes that the new deep-water port will also benefit the area in terms of skills development, as jobs are created and skilled people flow in from other parts of the country.
Nggura contains a world class two-berth container terminal (with two more on the way), a two-berth multipurpose terminal and a one-berth liquid bulk terminal. Nggura will also soon house three brand new tugboats, which are undergoing sea trials in the Port of Durban. In April and May of 2010, two additional tugboats will be delivered to Port Elizabeth's deep-water harbour, each costing R120 million with a 70-tonne bollard pull.
In addition to its already impressive credentials, top-notch security measures have been put in place to safeguard the volume of national and international goods that pass through the harbour.

How is Your Business Represented?
By [http://ezinearticles.com/?expert=Jacqueline_Wu]Jacqueline Wu
In August 2004, CV Technologies Inc., now Afexa Life Sciences Inc., teamed up with Don Cherry, NHL hockey commentator. This partnership, with Cherry as its spokesperson, turned the company around from the edge of bankruptcy. Today, COLD-fX®, an all natural solution for the prevention and treatment of colds and flu, has become a popular over-the-counter remedy, outselling even Tylenol as a cold fighter in Canada.
Afexa's story proves the power of marketing and the leverage of celebrity endorsement. It shows even a solid product cannot sell itself without market awareness and recognition. Yet a credible representation can help a product or service reach desired markets in magic ways. To those with an eye to the ROI, it is not a question of whether representation is needed, it is how their businesses are represented and who represent them.
Representation comes in different forms. While engaging celebrity is popular, it may not always be feasible. For companies entering an offshore market, a very common practice (even if a celebrity is enlisted) is to establish a representative office, where a chief representative is appointed.
This arrangement, if done right, is an excellent way for a company to make its entry to a new market and to support continuing growth of its business there. However, if done wrong, the adverse could happen. For example, in April 2008 alone, some 16 representative offices of foreign enterprises were under the investigation of Beijing Public Security Bureau. The reason? Breaking Chinese law and engaging in financial fraud.
For those contemplating setting up representative offices abroad, here are some suggestions:
Chief representative should be fluently bilingual, and understands the local culture in addition to that back home (vice versa if this position is locally filled).
Chief representative should be able to open doors, and be well versed in the business.
Chief representative must possess the highest personal integrity. Many representative offices are small in scale, and very often the chief representative is virtually playing solo.
Check relevant rules and regulations governing representative offices, and conform to them. Breaking local laws could result in not only financial loss, but also reputation damage.
Get expert help, and seek legal advice when necessary.
All the best finding the right representation for your goods and services!
