• Resumen

  • Focuses on the performance of Rising Data Solutions in the setting up of the first telemarketing call center in Africa. In Africa, corruption and high tariffs plague the government-controlled telephone services. Calls are costly, busy signals and dropped lines are frequent, and patrons attempting to use voice over Internet technology are jailed for infringing on the monopoly. Rising Data Solutions chose Ghana for its political stability and educated workforce, and they persuaded the government to allow the operation. Employees of the Rising Data Solutions call center earn solid income by selling T-Mobile wireless service to Americans, an example that paves the way for new entrepreneurial opportunities in Africa.
