If there is one question that is always on the mind of any business owner, no matter what the business, large or small, it's "How do we grow?" Whether that means floor space, market share or customer base. In answer to that, we have a little something for almost everyone this week... At the SAPICS 2015 conference, attendees will hear why putting people first is the key to supply chain success; Sid Peimer shares the six traps that will lose you market share, and Aki Kalliatakis asks whether customer-driven companies need to lose their customer focus? We look at why Nigeria is among the 20 fastest growing economies in the world, at the role demographics plays in consumer behaviour, how retail data can help one succeed in Africa, and why e-commerce is the new economy of this continent. Have a successful week!
