SME's - why communication is good for innovation

SME's - why communication is good for innovation

The Internet as a communication tool is vital for SME's, and for remote Africa, even more so. I personally monitor www.trendhunter.com and www.springwise.com among other sites, for innovative happenings around the world. It helps to keep me up to date, and allows me to see how to innovate my own and my client businesses using some of the ideas that I pick up on the Internet.

Innovation is not necessarily, and seldom is, invention. Innovation is about improvement, sometimes gradual. It is about improving what exists. The more we are exposed to innovative thinking, the more innovative we become. It becomes a way of thinking for those who are entrepreneurial, and this is how many businesses are started and many industries given a new lease on life and their life cycle extended.

African governments must find a strategy to extend cheap fast Internet to SME's as a matter of urgency if they wish to grow the base of entrepreneurs in their respective countries.
