The
world is a global village…
Globalization
is a relatively new term used to describe a very old process.
Historically speaking, it began with our ancestors moving
out of their country of birth to spread all over the globe.
In the millennia that have followed, distance has been largely
overcome and human-made barriers lowered or removed to facilitate
the exchange of goods and ideas.
Our
concern of globalization is linked to the increase of interconnectedness
and interdependence of all realms of economic life, including
trade, finance, production, and consumption. The most readily
measurable aspect of globalization we can describe is the
increasing exchange of products and services across national
boundaries. Our interdependence is visible when we consider
how manufactured goods like cars or computers are assembled
using components produced around the world.
To our thought, businesses should follow such a concept of
integration or globalization that they are seen as the driving
force of adaptation,
to stimulate innovation, encourage efficiency and ultimately,
culminate into evolution.
Thus, opening our guide to the countries in the region, namely;
Madagascar, Reunion Island and the East African business community,
will be beneficial to Mauritian Manufacturers and Exporters
as well as to the countries present in our guide and that
are looking for new market integration.
These changes have compelled us to accordingly adapt our concept
in order to facilitate a better exchange of information, while
promoting our customers’ products and services. Since
we are focusing on a mainly bilingual market, the guide has
been edited in both English and French.
To facilitate the use of this guide, The Regional Business
Classified Section is divided into 17 sections which concern
specific Business Sectors e.g. Construction, which groups
products and services within the sector and contain a complete
listing of any information related to each business sector
locally and regionally.
