“It is part of our aim to identify the factors behind the success of some African companies and why others also collapse”, Prof. Miller noted.
Fascinated about the operations after they toured the facility and the success story of Kasapreko Company, Prof. Miller indicated that comparatively, Ghana has a lot more of potentials than most countries within the sub- Sahara region, but quickly warned against bad political system in the country that must be curbed.
