Comparative Advantage

What are Namibia’s comparative advantages? How about Slovenia and Kuwait? How efficiently distributed and applied are capital,

technology, and labor in Namibia? How skilled is the Namibian workforce? Then what causes Namibia to lag far behind in

production output?

Needs and Problems

No/limited SME development opportunities. Inadequate Rural-Urban development linkage. Income inequality and need for fair income

distribution. Inadequate value addition; lack of production

processing. Need for identifying resources and opportunities by

regions (comparative advantages). Developing and mentoring entrepreneurship. Lack of R&D. Inadequate business relationship between SMEs and

large businesses.

Aggregate Labor Condition

Current unemployment rate of approximately 54%, and still rising.

Continued graduation of students from secondary and tertiary educational institutions with most of them adding to long unemployment lines and crowded street corners.

Current school dropouts at 50%, most vulnerable.

Monetary and Fiscal Policy

Can the government impose fiscal conditions such boosting government spending to stimulate the economy and exponentially curb the current high rising unemployment rate?

How about cutting taxes? For who since over half of the population is unemployed?

How about increasing business tax incentives? How about imposing monetary conditions such

as cutting the interest rate to spur the economy? What other tools can the government use to help

spur the economy, create full sustainable and good paying jobs, and still control the inflation?

Industrialization Ecosystem

Ecosystem anchored by diverse industries to create a powerful, perpetual self-sustained ecosystem.

Economic community supported by a foundation of interacting organizations and individuals - the organisms of the business world.

Producing goods and services of value to customers, who are themselves members of the ecosystem.

Organisms also include suppliers, lead producers, competitors, and other stakeholders.

Over time, they co-evolve their capabilities and roles, and tend to align themselves with the directions set by one or more central companies.

Companies holding leadership roles may change over time, but the function of ecosystem leader is valued by the community because it enables members to move toward shared visions to align their investments, and to find mutually supportive roles.

What’s a Glass?

One of the most useful materials in the world. Made chiefly from silicon dioxide, sodium

carbonate, and calcium carbonate; all which are abundant in Namibia.

Glass has countless uses; food preservation, glass containers, homes, schools, and office building, motor vehicles, eyeglasses, computing and touch screen devices.

Glass can take many different forms and shapes.

Benefits of using Glass vs. plastic Glass containers retain their crystalline attractiveness forever. Unlike plastic,

glass’ non-porous surface doesn’t absorb dyes or colors. Keeps food safe. Glass is cleaner than plastic. Glass’ non-porous surface

doesn’t absorb food and germs and it can be safely washed at high temperatures in your dishwasher.

Enhances food flavor. Glass’ safe, glossy surface repels food odors and residual flavors. And food reheated in glass—whether in a conventional oven or microwave—tastes superior to victuals nuked in plastic.

Helps clean-up the planet. Using glass rather than plastic significantly reduces landfill. It also saves energy on plastic’s inefficient recycling process.

Saves the consumer money. A move to glass storage marks a raised consciousness—arguably glass’ most valuable environmental benefit. Your investment in glass helps you move from a throw-away mind-set to a more sustainable sensibility.

Eases food prep, serving and clean-up. Move effortlessly from freezer to fridge to stove to table.

Recycling doesn’t compromise glass’ quality or structure and no toxins are produced in it’s recycling.

Otavi Steel (Pty) Ltd, Otavi, Namibia

More Glass Benefits…

Glass is the only packaging material certified generally “regarded as safe” by the U.S. Food & Drug Administration.

Glass bottles have always been bisphenol-A (BPA) free. Hundreds of studies have linked the BPA chemical found in many plastics to cancer, diabetes, heart disease and other health problems.

Extensive heat – which is required for sterilization - does not harm glass containers or release toxins into the water.

Glass is nonporous, impermeable and air-tight. This means there are no interactions between the glass packaging and products to affect the taste of beverages.

Glass bottles are made from natural, nontoxic raw materials such as silica, sand, soda ash, limestone… making them one of the most pure containers available.

Glass bottles are 100% recyclable. Unlike plastic, glass does not require the use of petroleum in its manufacturing process.

Otavi Steel & Danieli

World Market

Most countries of the world have glass industries.

For many years, Germany was the major world source for optical glass, laboratory glassware, and glass Christmas tree ornaments.

Today, glass manufacturers in many countries produce such objects on a large scale.

Major glass companies spend millions of dollars each year on research to discover ways to make better glass and to develop new uses for glass.

Glass Production - Skills

Bank of Namibia

As Namibia realizes full employment, the aggregate price will rise as well.

Bank of Namibia must act swiftly, perhaps to raise the interest rates, to lower the inflationary pressure.

Since Namibia’s currency is pegged to the South African Rand, Namibia is somehow limited on enacting certain tools to control the inflation.

Working with other regional’s Central Banks could be the solution for Namibia to mind the inflationary pressure, while maintaining full employment.

How far is the idea of integrating the regional monetary union? May be Namibia delinks from the South Africa Rand?

Glass Production - Sufficiency

Why Tses?

Strategically located in Southern Namibia’s average dense population.

Abundantly endowed with the needed raw materials for the making of glass.

Gateway to Namibia’s southern regions en route to and from South Africa.

Sparsely populated flat area with abundant land suitable for any industrial activities.

Why Namibia?

Politically and economically stable. Democracy, free market enterprise system. Some of the best roads, industrial and

institutional infrastructures in Africa. Digital fiber-optic network links and

telecommunication tools for telephony. Cable and satellites television programming. Plenty of land and materials for building. Abundant mineral resources to meet any

demand for energy consumption. Adequate land space to meet consumption

demand in industrial produce.

Robbie Jena, Chief Strategist

Engineer, chemist, strategist, former NASA rocket scientist, and current CEO of KMCI, Louisiana, USA.

Invited to China in early 1980’s to setup the manufacturing operations for ABB.

Hired as Consultant in 1984 by the Chinese government through China Council for the Promotion of International Trade to mentor top Chinese Government Officials.

China implemented Robbie’s manufacturing and engineering strategies the same year.

By end of 1985, China’s economy grew by 11.9%, continued to grow at 8% (real) annually.

China is today the 2nd world’s largest economy, the only country with more than $3 trillion (N$23 trillion) in cash reserve, and it is debt free.

Robbie Effects: China vs. India

After China, Robbie went to India (his birth country) at end of 1985, tried to teach them the same technique, but they ignored him. Per indexmundi, the following is the results for China and India's GDP (PPP) numbers in US$Billions.

Successful Outcome

In 1984, China listened to Robbie’s strategy and it worked for them. Why not for Namibia?

In 2012 if Namibia follows suit, it will create a fast growing, robust and self-sustaining economic ecosystem.

It will help reduce Namibia’s current 54% unemployment rate to full employment within 5 years of implementation.

Tses Glass - Government

Needs government support and blessing for the development of Tses Glass.

Needs government support for infrastructure development.

Not asking the government for financial support to develop the Tses Glass project.
