Book of the Month

I am currently reading the third edition of the book:

'Business and Politics: A compatative Introduction', by Graham K. Wilson.

The book discusses the role of government in business. It analyses the extent to which governments are involved in private businesses and the various forms such involvement takes. It discusses the main roles of government in business that mainly include regulation and protection. In doing so it compares how various governments have done business with the private sector.

It has given me several insights into boing business with government.

Speaking of Kenya and election campaigns, business executives should keenly follow the policy recomendations by various aspirants for political office to determine how they are likely to influence businesses. The political ideology of for instance of a candidate will influence the way government interacts with business. I figured this out during the first ever presidential debate yesterday.

Enjoy.
