Stephan Hofmann, research assistant at the Flensburg University of Applied Sciences in Germany, is busy conducting research on the binding constraints of logistics and manufacturing in Angola, Mozambique, Namibia and South Africa.

This research is comprised of two elements – an online survey and a second, face-to-face interview. He is looking for logistics or manufacturing experts that can complete his online survey and who are prepared to meet with him for a face-to-face interview. Hofmann will be travelling to all four countries later this year.

All respondents and interviewees who contribute to the research and who choose to be updated on its progress will receive a free advance publication of the results.

Access to the survey, including an introductory video about the project and a bio of Mr Hofmann, is available here: http://www.unipark.de/uc/live
