  • Carlos Slim: the World's Richest
    The Secrets of the World's Richest Man Mexico's Carlos Slim makes his billions the old-fashioned way: monopolies By DAVID LUHNOW August 4, 2007; Page A1 http://online.wsj.com/article/SB118615255900587380.html (See Corrections & Amplifications item below.) Mexico City Carlos Slim is Mexico's Mr. Monopoly. It's hard to spend a day in Mexico and not put money in his pocket. The 67-year-old tycoon controls more than 200 companies -- he says he's "lost count" -- in telecommunications, cigarettes, construction, mining, bicycles, soft-drinks, airlines, hotels, railways, banking and printing. In all, his companies account for more than a third of the total value of Mexico's leading stock market index, while his fortune represents 7% of the country's annual economic output. (At his height, John D. Rockefeller's wealth was equal to 2.5% of U.S. gross domestic product.) As one Mexico City eatery jokes on its menu: "This restaurant is the only place in Mexico not owned by Carlos Slim." Mr. Slim's fortune has grown faster than any in the world during the past two years, rising by more than $20 billion to about $60 billion currently. While the market value of his stake in publicly traded companies could decline at any time, at the moment he is probably wealthier than Bill Gates, whom Forbes magazine estimated at $56 billion last March. This would mark the first time that a person from the developing world held the top spot since Forbes started tracking the wealthy outside the U.S. in the 1990s.

  • Entrepreneurial Approach to Success: a Study of Warren Buffet of Mexico
    Global Journal of HUMAN-SOCIAL SCIENCE: H Interdisciplinary Volume 18 Issue 5 Version 1.0 Year 2018 Type: Double Blind Peer Reviewed International Research Journal Publisher: Global Journals Online ISSN: 2249-460x & Print ISSN: 0975-587X Entrepreneurial Approach to Success: A Study of Warren Buffet of Mexico Carlos Slim By Tolulope Olaide Folarin & Muhammad Farooq Limkokwing University of Creative Technology Abstract- Carlos Slim is among the most successful entrepreneurs in Mexico. He is also known as the Warren Buffett of Mexico. In this study, we critically examine and ascertain the entrepreneurial approaches and psychology that made Carlos Slim the Warren Buffett of Mexico. To achieve this, the Competency theory of Driessen (2005) was deployed. Knowledge, capabilities, motivation, and characteristics are the components of competency theory which jointly form entrepreneur competence, which can be interpreted as successful behavior in practice, is adopted and modified to suit the scope of this study. Most of the researches on entrepreneur focused on competency theory as it is deemed suitable for assessing entrepreneur competence, talent, skills, traits, behavior and what characteristics and a motivational factor of entrepreneur influence business success (Laan; Driessen; and Zwart, 2010). Therefore, the theoretical framework for this study was developed using three variables; Characteristics, Capabilities and Internally Driven Motivation, because the variable “Knowledge” can only be assessed by the business plan which is beyond the scope of this study (Driessen, 2005). The findings of this report show that Carlos Slim has internally driven motivation and need for achievement that propelled him to succeed in business, he also has specialist thinking style, self-belief and risk-taking propensity traits which are the characteristic that enabled him to seize opportunities and to take calculated risk that led to high profitability (Baun and Locke, 2004; Forbes 2010).

  • Mexican Telecom Industry: (Un)Wanted Monopoly?
    Mexican Telecom Industry: (Un)wanted Monopoly? Ref. No.: ME0018 Mexican Telecom Industry: (Un)wanted Monopoly? Mexico’s telecommunications industry, to a large extent is dominated by wire-line operator Telmex and mobile operator Telcel. Both belong to Carlos Slim – the world’s richest man as per Fortune’s list in August 2007. Telmex provides local, domestic long-distance and international fixed-line voice services, Internet and data communications, while Telcel provides wireless services. Both Telmex and Telcel hold a mammoth portion of the market share in the Mexican telecommunication industry. In this context, these companies have been constantly criticised that they take undue advantage of their dominance and thwart competition in the industry. It is also said that the weak regulatory authorities and flaws in regulations abetted the Mexican telecom giants in ensuring low competition. However, these companies defend themselves by arguing that they invest more than their competitors and provide good services throughout the country including low-margined rural areas. Mexican Telecommunication Industry – A Overview Before privatisation, Mexico’s national telephone company – Telefonos de Mexico (Telmex), suffered from high operating costs, under-investment, service delivery shortcomings, low reliability and thus, tarnished image. The quality of its basic services was far below the normal standards, while value-added services were non-existent. For instance, the wait for a new telephone connection was above 3 years and tariff structure was
