Global Entrepreneurship Week Supplement - Networking for Growth

Networking yes. But if we had MPs and Prime Ministers, with even a modicum of entrepreneurial business sense, each would have long ago sought to institutionalize BUSINESS INCUBATORS as a cornerstone of employment and business growth.

Our second and third-tier numbskull political directorate know only borbol, and popular economic stupidness like STEP, ignorantly titled "employment growth policy".

With resulting resounding miserable failure, which could well have been foreseen by real economists, some now turn haplessly to the Caribbean media, throwing their hands in the air, so to speak, telling the whole region at their wits end, that "the sky is falling".

Those who know better, other than the litany of country-bookies who keep strutting their ignorant crap in and out of the halls of parliament, would have long ago, strenuously and aggressively react with this knowledge.

Firstly, that small businesses account for the highest growth in employment market (mixed) economies today. Even communist countries like our "beloved" Cuba, much to its embarrassment, are inching towards this.

Next, small and micro businesses have a 90 percent chance of success with business incubators.

Yet, we stubbornly persist with one-dimensional solutions to multi-dimensional problems.

We even take great pride in betraying a risible and pathetic lack of capability, on the part of those strutting convoys of under- and mis-educated party politicians, to synthesize and see the forest for the trees.
