<div dir="ltr">James,<br> <br>I am not surprised over Your discovery and lack of formal information on this topic, because "most" people think BIG.<br>And People whom think BIG, do not like to share their knowledge.<br> <br>What seems to be forgotten, that most sucessfull ventures started in a small scale, like IKEA, and they still use local manufatures of a certain scale to produce most items for their shopping mals.<br> <br>There are various models to bring the local artians involved in production of stoves, like a supply chain of proper materials, prefabricated flatpacks and more industrilized small scale production using simple handtools to a bit more advanced machinery.<br>Just use Your imagination.<br> <br>I prefer 1000 millionaires apart from one (1) billionar.<br> <br>Employment is very much needed all over the planet and especially for young people age 15 to 30.<br> <br>Just go ahead and create opportunities and employment for local artisans and street vendors.<br> <br>Otto <br> <br> <br> <br> <br><br> <br><div><hr id="stopSpelling">Date: Tue, 26 Aug 2014 10:49:31 +0200<br>From: jamesrobinson77@gmail.com<br>To: stoves@lists.bioenergylists.org<br>Subject: [Stoves] Tinsmith business models<br><br><div dir="ltr">Dear list,<div><br></div><div>I'm looking for more information on tinsmith business models, value chains and capacity building - and am surprised to find very little formal information on the topic, especially given the role they play in stove production in most areas.</div>
