Book Description
INTRODUCTION As a complement of the «Succeding through the informal way » guide, I hoped to propose a simple path to follow to launch one’s informal business under the model of the guide “Business in the box”. The 13 steps identified here permit to think about a model and then a structure and finally to put it in place on the spot. I consider that the border is slim or even almost inexistent between ethnic and informal entrepreneurship; it’s for that reason why this precise can serve also to people in diasporas wanting to put in place a simple structure in complement with their main job in the framework of para-entrepreneurship that lives as a communal way in Africa, and I suppose, in other Southern countries.

Stealth of Nations
Author: Robert Neuwirth
Publisher: Anchor
ISBN: 0307279987
Category : Business & Economics
Languages : en
Pages : 306
Book Description
An eye-opening account of the informal economy around the globe, Stealth of Nations traces the history and reach of unregulated markets, and explains the unwritten rules that govern them. Journalist Robert Neuwirth joins globe-trotting Nigerians who sell Chinese cell phones and laid-off San Franciscans who use Twitter to market street food and learns that the people who work in informal economies are entrepreneurs who provide essential services and crucial employment. Dubbing this little-recognized business arena with a new name—”System D”—Neuwirth points out that it accounts for a growing amount of trade, and that, united in a single nation, it would be the world’s second-largest economy, trailing only the United States in financial might. Stealth of Nations offers an inside look at the thriving world of unfettered trade and finds far more than a chaotic emporium of dubious pirated goods.

Business Model of an Informal Property Management Entreprise
Author: Arnaud Segla
Publisher: The Wisemen Council
ISBN: 2924872561
Category : Business & Economics
Languages : en
Pages : 39
Book Description
INTRODUCTION Amaru is a proactive developer who has chosen to enter the Informal Property Management Company (EGII) sector. He now wishes to market his project for a Limited Liability Property Management Company in order to gain recognition for his talent and professionalism in administration. The project proposes to offer property management services on behalf of members of the Diaspora on the one hand. And, on the other hand, local people who don't have the time or the means to pay a professional real estate broker. The market for intermediation in real estate asset management is marked by legal risk and investment losses, but also by a great need for regularity, which is why we want to position ourselves as a facilitator for our target clientele, which is essentially made up of nationals from the Diaspora and wealthy middle-class local individuals with property to manage. Compared to the market, it has the advantage of being results-oriented, which enables us to grasp the need for reliable players with integrity. The business model aims to offer services ranging from rent collection, caretaking and housekeeping to site enhancement and development, using multi-skilled staff to guarantee the customer a facilitated property management experience. Sales will be facilitated by a marketing strategy emphasizing price flexibility for fair pricing according to risk.

Entrepreneurship in the Informal Economy
Author: Mai Thi Thanh Thai
Publisher: Routledge
ISBN: 1135076243
Category : Business & Economics
Languages : en
Pages : 304
Book Description
Although entrepreneurship in the informal economy occurs outside state regulatory systems, informal commercial activities account for an estimated 30% of economic activity around the world. Informal entrepreneurship goes unmonitored despite the fact that it significantly contributes to poverty reduction and economic development. As a result, the informal sector is open to unethical practices including corruption, worker exploitation, and natural environment abuse to name just a few. In the media, debates have formed around whether informal entrepreneurship should be assisted or legitimized. Hence, a deep understanding of the phenomenon is vitally important. This book is the first on the market to offer models and approaches to informal entrepreneurship as well as to its prospects for economic development. Offering an in-depth examination of informal entrepreneurship in many different countries, it reveals the motivations for engaging in entrepreneurship in the informal economy, characteristics of informal entrepreneurship, and informal entrepreneurs’ response to ethical issues. This volume illustrates the relationship between formal and informal economies and the conditions for the benefits of informal entrepreneurship to outweigh its disadvantages. And finally, it gives recommendations about when and how the informal economy can be formalized, which sectors should be formalized, and which ones can remain informal. This book offers much-needed guidance for stakeholders involved in economic development programs and scholars and entrepreneurs interested in the field of informal entrepreneurship as it is developing around the globe.

Template to Write an informal business plan

ISBN: 2981628992
Category : Business & Economics
Languages : en
Pages : 39
Book Description
INTRODUCTION This Tool allows the reader to become acquainted with the particularity of the informal business plan and to understand with what spirit it should be written. The following business plan is an informal plan. It proposes to present the information of an informal business project information in the most professional way possible, all while respecting the inherent simplicity at the informal sector. It can be used to clarify the stringent vision of the promoter but most importantly to have confidence in the initiative that is presented. The technical level is therefore lesser, however, without ignoring the unavoidable parts of a business project presentation and especially the pertinence of the information gathered for the business operation. For entrepreneurs in the « formal » sector, it, however, constitutes a structure of writing such as inspiring to conditions to push the reflection to a satisfactory level of technical jurisdiction. Notably, we develop the financial aspects. Analysts are invited not to follow a classical reading routine, but to show proof of sagacity to decode the information in their presentation which, although informal, aims to give guarantees for an investment where the goal is to be reimbursed on term.

The Informal Economy Revisited
Author: Martha Chen
Publisher: Routledge
ISBN: 0429575386
Category : Business & Economics
Languages : en
Pages : 323
Book Description
This landmark volume brings together leading scholars in the field to investigate recent conceptual shifts, research findings and policy debates on the informal economy as well as future challenges and directions for research and policy. Well over half of the global workforce and the vast majority of the workforce in developing countries work in the informal economy, and in countries around the world new forms of informal employment are emerging. Yet the informal workforce is not well understood, remains undervalued and is widely stigmatised. Contributors to the volume bridge a range of disciplinary perspectives including anthropology, development economics, law, political science, social policy, sociology, statistics, urban planning and design. The Informal Economy Revisited also focuses on specific groups of informal workers, including home-based workers, street vendors and waste pickers, to provide a grounded insight into disciplinary debates. Ultimately, the book calls for a paradigm shift in how the informal economy is perceived to reflect the realities of informal work in the Global South, as well as the informal practices of the state and capital, not just labour. The Informal Economy Revisited is the culmination of 20 years of pioneering work by WIEGO (Women in Informal Employment: Globalizing and Organizing), a global network of researchers, development practitioners and organisations of informal workers in 90 countries. Researchers, practitioners, policy-makers and advocates will all find this book an invaluable guide to the significance and complexities of the informal economy, and its role in today’s globalised economy.

Category : Social Science
Languages : en
Pages : 293
Book Description
This handbook presents a cost-effective and reliable data collection strategy for measuring and analyzing informal employment and the informal sector.

World Development Report 2013
Author: World Bank
Publisher: World Bank Publications
ISBN: 0821395769
Category : Business & Economics
Languages : en
Pages : 423
Book Description
Jobs provide higher earnings and better benefits as countries grow, but they are also a driver of development. Poverty falls as people work their way out of hardship and as jobs empowering women lead to greater investments in children. Efficiency increases as workers get better at what they do, as more productive jobs appear, and less productive ones disappear. Societies flourish as jobs bring together people from different ethnic and social backgrounds and provide alternatives to conflict. Jobs are thus more than a byproduct of economic growth. They are transformational —they are what we earn, what we do, and even who we are. High unemployment and unmet job expectations among youth are the most immediate concerns. But in many developing countries, where farming and self-employment are prevalent and safety nets are modest are best, unemployment rates can be low. In these countries, growth is seldom jobless. Most of their poor work long hours but simply cannot make ends meet. And the violation of basic rights is not uncommon. Therefore, the number of jobs is not all that matters: jobs with high development payoffs are needed. Confronted with these challenges, policy makers ask difficult questions. Should countries build their development strategies around growth, or should they focus on jobs? Can entrepreneurship be fostered, especially among the many microenterprises in developing countries, or are entrepreneurs born? Are greater investments in education and training a prerequisite for employability, or can skills be built through jobs? In times of major crises and structural shifts, should jobs, not just workers, be protected? And is there a risk that policies supporting job creation in one country will come at the expense of jobs in other countries? The World Development Report 2013: Jobs offers answers to these and other difficult questions by looking at jobs as drivers of development—not as derived labor demand—and by considering all types of jobs—not just formal wage employment. The Report provides a framework that cuts across sectors and shows that the best policy responses vary across countries, depending on their levels of development, endowments, demography, and institutions. Policy fundamentals matter in all cases, as they enable a vibrant private sector, the source of most jobs in the world. Labor policies can help as well, even if they are less critical than is often assumed. Development policies, from making smallholder farming viable to fostering functional cities to engaging in global markets, hold the key to success.
