In 2008 and early 2009, the world was still overcoming the difficult business and investment environment that was created by the global financial crisis. This meant that when Main One was intending to raise the $240 million it needed to construct its undersea fiber-optic cable, the company needed a strong partner that could see beyond the short term challenges and truly see the potential in the massive opportunity on which Main One was intending to capitalize. From the perspective of Harith General Partners and Main One were a strong fit. Harith believed deeply in Main One’s long term strategies and they were very impressed by the talent and vision of Opeke and the management she selected to work with her. Harith was able to leverage its experience with investments in South Africa to help Main One build a stronger governance and management structure that was better suited to responding to the specific challenges that the information and communications technology sector presented in Africa – including accelerating demand, increasing competition and shortage of last-mile infrastructure. Having representation, not only on Main One’s board, but, also on the audit, finance, and human resources subcommittees gave Harith a special insight into the inner workings of the company and greater influence on the company’s short-term and long-term strategies. During the period of time when the entrance of new bandwidth providers caused prices to drop, Harith provided strategic guidance as

Telus appeared in the late 1990’s by the merger of Alberta-based Telus and BC Telecom in an environment of significant changes for the incumbent carriers who had previously enjoyed a monopolized service offering. Soon after its creation Telus found itself in the early 2000 to be facing major hurdles of maintaining its financing plans. The early 2000 offered an environment of increased competition for telecom companies, saw the crash of the dot-com bubble and offered a weaker business climate as a result of the 9/11 tragedy. Within this environment, the ratings by credit rating companies had a profound influence on how telecom companies would continue to do business.

Introduction Within the telecommunications industry, everything ranging from television to internet services continues to face evolving and transformational changes more often than other industries such as services. It should come to no surprise given the advances in technologies across the globe, that an industry that is heavily technological based should also follow suit. This allows for both old and new organizations to tap in the growth of both the human and technological capital to bring about revolutionary changes in the telecommunications world. For example, the introduction of fiber optics made way for telecommunication conglomerates to offer faster internet services to their consumers.

The most important lesson from this case is Verizon’s management recognizing the need to change their culture in order to implement their new strategic plan and meet the company’s business goals. One of the company’s significant goals was to create a leadership culture that lead for shareholder value. In order to change a company’s culture the senior leadership must be involved and believed in it. Verizon decided to increase the number of internal subject matter experts (SMEs) and gave them the authority to make changes and recommendations through the use of cross business units and cross
The business case presented focuses on insatiable demand amongst a growing population for a service built on dilapidated, poorly maintained infrastructure, against a backdrop of government deregulation in the telecoms sector. As of 1992, there were a mere 78k telephone lines for the 27m people living in 4.7m households (a population set to double over the coming 24 years), with users suffering success rates of just 25%. Demand was forecast to grow to 500k subscribers by 1996. The recent deregulation of the telecoms sector (via the break-up of TPTC into TPC and TTCL) and the formation of a regulator (TCC) had
