“…Besides the lack of diversification in the economy, another challenge that emerged was the excessive reliance on foreign investments (Kapunda, 2017;Mkwizu et al, 2019). This meant that the benefit of economic growth accrued primarily to foreign-owned firms; thus, something had to be done regarding the lack of citizen participation in non-agricultural production activities (Botswana Ministry of Finance and Development Planning, 1995;Khanie, 2020).…”

Since the beginning of decolonisation in Africa, regional integration has become one of the most potent defining characteristics of the continent’s quest for industrialisation and sustainable development. It was understood that the individual continental economies could not achieve the requisite level of industrial development to meet their respective development objectives due to the colonial policy of balkanisation, which divided the continent into small, economically unviable units. In 1992, the Southern African Development Community (SADC) adopted developmental integration, an approach to regional integration to engender industrialisation and address the region’s development challenges. This book offers a critical assessment and examination of this approach as to how it has influenced the industrialisation process in Southern Africa. If so, why has it failed to accelerate the region’s industrialisation and structural transformation process? It contributes significantly to cross-cutting development debates on the African continent, particularly in southern Africa. More importantly, in understanding the nexus between developmental integration and industrialisation.

“…In the case of strong interfirm relations-good examples would be the case of a major firm and supplier/subcontractor firms, or a cluster engaged in interconnected activities within a trade association (Bramoullé et al, 2014;Lundvall, 2016)-there certainly could exist an incremental learning process, by example or dictate, to develop the training activities among them, based on the clear understanding that the collective organization of human capital formation enhances the skills within a shared skills-base and labor market; indeed this is part of the thinking that also sees shared knowledge and norms as working to everyone's benefit (Kapunda, 2017). This effort can be accomplished if there already exists a high-trust culture and legal regulation (Shafaeddin, 2012).…”

El artículo se centra en la pregunta: ¿se puede crear un sistema de formación exitoso entre empresas ubicadas geográficamente cerca unas de otras? Los temas son: la posibilidad de desarrollar un sistema de formación dentro de las empresas (o formación “intraempresa”), el impacto positivo en el rendimiento de la formación derivado de la proximidad geográfica, la naturaleza del grupo de formación entre empresas, el papel en cuanto a la oferta formativa de las empresas extranjeras y multinacionales y, por último, el papel de los proveedores de formación. Hay un análisis detallado de la educación y formación técnica y profesional en los países en desarrollo, particularmente en términos de temas tan importantes como la formación en la empresa, las prácticas de formación entre empresas y dentro de la empresa, y la oferta de formación en relación con los costos, los resultados, los salarios y las innovaciones. También hay un enfoque en campos más especializados como la división del trabajo, la capacitación previa y posterior, la apropiación de la capacitación, el agrupamiento de capacitación y los efectos indirectos, las políticas de las empresas locales e internacionales, el papel de los proveedores de capacitación, y la capacitación tácita y codificada.
