Legend of Zu Posted December 18, 2005 ^^^ LooL Xiin... The transformation you hoping for can not be restricted to business models but should expand to the whole Somali psyche and the Somali culture. When this transformation happens remember my friend The fundamental and the bases of Somali culture will be challenged, the hierarchy of the society will be questioned. Every MACLEEY will be given lectures by their daughters (Since farax’s have no hope…we will limit the hypothesis to the girls). There is a parallel of the Somali business models and the Somali culture. Until our culture evolves to the higher levels of cultural evolution I doubt that we will see a transformation of our business model. Note there is a significant correlation between the customers’ cultural habits and the success of the business that services them. Something to thinks about: Do Somalis understand what marketing is? Advertising? And Go to market strategies? Cheers PS: good points McPhee Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
