Investing In Africa

Best Wishes for the New Minister Tajani and Deputy Ministers M.A.E.C.I.

The AEDIC association wishes a good job to the Minister of Foreign Affairs, Antonio Tajani and his deputy ministers Dr. Mari a Tripodi and Dr. Giorgio Silli and Dr. Edmondo Cirielli. Dr. Edmondo Cirielli Dr. Edmondo Cirielli Undersecretary of State at the Ministry of Foreign Affairs and International Cooperation Edmondo Cirielli, 58 years old from Salerno, strongman of FdI in Campania, was President of the Province of Salerno from 2009 to 2012, the first right-wing candidate to win in Governor De Luca's fiefdom. He has been a Member of the Chamber since 2001, where he held the posts of President of the 4th Defence Commission from 2008 to 2013; Secretary from 2013 to 2018; and Quaestor at the Chamber until 2022. An identikit that greatly shifts the horizon indicated by the CSOs. Indeed, Cirielli's background speaks of defence and law enforcement. The son of an Army officer, in 1980 he was admitted as a student of the 193rd course at the Scuola Militare Nunziatella in Naples, where he graduated in 1983 - reads his online biography. He then attended the Military Academy of Modena and the Carabinieri Officers' School in Rome, graduating from the University of Parma with a degree in Law and, at the University of Salerno, with a degree in Political Science and a specialised degree in Internal and External Security Sciences. He was a Carabinieri officer on leave for parliamentary mandate, now on leave. In October 2020, he received an honorary promotion to the rank of Brigadier General. A curriculum that speaks for itself and motivates the securitarian vision of cooperation that Cirielli has repeatedly shown in the past through statements and parliamentary acts. A cooperation that seems to have two leitmotifs: on the one hand, the strengthening of governmental cooperation (starting from Libya) so that flows are stopped and illegal migrants are prosecuted and detained in their country of origin; on the other hand, the 'Let's help them at home' cooperation action, centred on the prevention of migratory phenomena, especially from Africa across the Mediterranean. Dr. Maria Tripodi graduated in International and Community Political Studies, specialising in International Relations at the University of Rome "La Sapienza". In July 2022, she obtained a Master's Degree in Economic Security, Geopolitics and Intelligence from SIOI. Dr. Giorgio Silli Dr. Silli is also an Industrial Expert specialised in the dyeing chemical industry, graduated from ITIS Buzzi, graduated in Political Science and International Relations with honours, and lives his working life dealing with textiles from the very beginning. He worked in a number of companies, including the family business that has been dyeing textile fibres since the end of the 18th century, both in the technical and commercial sectors. It was the commercial management of some large textile companies that led him to live abroad for long periods of his life. He obtained a master's degree in space policies and institutions at SIOI in 2020. He speaks 5 languages including Russian. what do you want to do now?

Strategic Alliances, International Joint Ventures

Strategic alliances are formal medium to long-term arrangements between two or more parties (mainly, but not exclusively, companies), aimed at achieving specific objectives, functional to the competitive strategies or growth in foreign markets of the individual partners involved. They may concern commercial purposes, or the organisation of production, the development of technological innovations, the implementation of strategic projects. Development strategy In a company's international development strategy, alliances can generate the following possible advantages immediate access to resources and distinctive competences complementary to one's own opportunities to exploit their resources and distinctive competences in new geographical contexts; possibility of reaching more rapidly the critical size, in terms of invested resources and volumes of supply, necessary to be competitive in international markets and to operate at adequate levels of efficiency; development of a better knowledge of the characteristics of the foreign market, of its competitive dynamics, of the economic and extra-economic factors that influence its evolution; greater flexibility and ability to adapt to the specificities of demand in different countries and to the different phase of its life cycle. International Joint Ventures International joint ventures are also widespread; they are a new company set up by two or more operators of different nationalities to carry out clearly specified activities of common interest. Once the objective has been achieved, or the conditions of common interest have ceased to exist, the JV can be dissolved or transformed. The JV is therefore the result of an agreement between the parent companies (the companies involved), which thus characterise its structure and operating methods. It can be considered the most advanced form of a strategic alliance from the point of view of the strategic, organisational and financial commitment of the parties involved. In fact, the participation in the constitution of the JV is determined by the contribution by the parent companies of financial capital but also of material and immaterial resources necessary for the activities for which it is created. Joint Venture Models There are two prevalent models of JVs aimed at entering a foreign market. The first involves the establishment, with one or more local partners, of a new structure whose mission becomes the commercial development of certain products in the target market. In this case, the company contributes production capacity and product knowledge, while the partner(s) in the target country provide marketing expertise and the availability of a distribution network in the local market. The second model involves two or more companies (even from different countries) combining their capabilities in a certain business area to enter a certain market by leveraging a joint scale and position, and thus with better capabilities and competitive opportunities. In this case, each partner brings its own expertise in the business in which the JV will be active. As you can imagine, using a JV as a way of entering a foreign market has a number of advantages and allows Italian SMEs to: reduce financial investment and organisational complexity; determine a clear separation of the competitive position in the foreign market from the company's traditional activities; allow ...
