If you were going to help rebuild Afghanistan after the war to create a new and better country, how would you approach it?
For Jim Frasche, this wasn't something where he could sit on the sidelines and simply do nothing. From bottled water to fruit orchard development, Jim found what it took to be successful in Afghanistan. At the same time he learned many lessons in why it is so difficult (beyond the obvious), and why there should be thousands of American business people there right now.
Can American business interests compete with BRICs (Brazil, Russia, India, and China) and the EU in a post-conflict Afghan economy?
How can American business priorities be achieved in a society with radically different concepts of time and space, progress and performance?
How can critical concepts of corruption, security, and progress be defined to remove them as distractions, and allow for mutual gain?
How can American entrepreneurial and corporate resources be employed to enable the emergence of Afghanistan as a responsible member of the world community of nations?
Join us as Jim tells his story of being a social entrepreneur in Afghanistan, and where the opportunities lie in this yet undiscovered center of future commerce.
