The Business Planning manual for Developed Economies ?

The book is very brilliant and I can definitely use it in London, where I have a small consultancy business and use the internet for E-Commerce. Secondly, because of the low interest rate of 6-7%, I can secure a loan to buy PCs for my office.With the usage of an accounting application and spreadsheet, I can make quick financial statements and be in control of the business.I cannot be that lucky in Ghana, if I were now starting up.I run an application software development company, and I have connected by PC to the internet.In Ghana, interest rates are high at about 45-50%Internet technology is available but skilled labour is limitedIncomes are generally low; the minimum daily wage is about 70 cents and limits the marketThe majority of Africa faces similar situations to that of Ghana.In conclusion, I wish to suggest that a chapter is added to the book to discuss business planning in technologially disadvantaged economies like Ghana, to formulate a business planning manual without the use of the relatively expensive PC so the potential African entrepreneur can also have something to read from.
