The Evolution of Black African Entrepreneurship in the UK by Ojo, Sanya Pdf

Migrating to a different country can be difficult, especially when attempting to start a business. Africans who migrate to the UK manage to negotiate and forge relationships among themselves and with the members of their host society. In doing so, they not only demonstrate tactics to form self-employment relationships, but they also unveil socio-cultural patterns and identity formation. The Evolution of Black African Entrepreneurship in the UK explains why people leave Africa, what they encounter, their interactions with the host community, their strategies of inclusion, and perceived exclusions from the mainstream of British society. This publication also provides information on the social changes and policies that African countries are adopting to negotiate the immigration and emigration processes of the diaspora communities. Illustrating multiple aspects of Black African entrepreneurship that serve as a vehicle not only for self-employment relationships but also for the unveiling of socio-cultural patterns and identity formation, this publication covers gender biases, forced vs. voluntary migration, and diaspora entrepreneurship. It is designed for policymakers, managers, entrepreneurs, consultants, practitioners, professionals, scholars, students, and researchers.

Entrepreneurship in Africa by Moses E. Ochonu Pdf

A tapestry of innovation, ideas, and commerce, Africa and its entrepreneurial hubs are deeply connected to those of the past. Moses E. Ochonu and an international group of contributors explores the lived experiences of African innovators who have created value for themselves and their communities. Profiles of vendors, farmers, craftspeople, healers, spiritual consultants, warriors, musicians, technological innovators, political mobilizers, and laborers featured in this volume show African models of entrepreneurship in action. As a whole, the essays consider the history of entrepreneurship in Africa, illustrating its multiple origins and showing how it differs from the Western capitalist experience. As they establish historical patterns of business creativity, these explorations open new avenues for understanding indigenous enterprise and homegrown commerce and their relationship to social, economic, and political debates in Africa today.

In Africa’s International Relations in a Globalising World: Perspectives on Nigerian Foreign Policy at Sixty and Beyond, edited by Usman A.

The Routledge Companion to Business in Africa by Sonny Nwankwo,Kevin Ibeh Pdf

Although the world's poorest inhabited continent, Africa has recently shown signs of being a source of economic growth in the coming decades, with increased foreign investment - notably from China - and huge growth in GDP from a number of African states. In contrast to the heaving weight of books focusing on business opportunities in Asia, Eastern Europe and Latin America, Africa has been poorly served by academic publishing. This compendium of scholarship offers cutting-edge knowledge relating to business in Africa. The objectives of this collection include: To shed new light on the socio-cultural and historical underpinnings of business practice in Africa and their implications for promoting entrepreneurship and business behaviour in the region To consider the important constraints on business activities in Africa, and the emerging 'best practice' for redressing their real and potential impacts To facilitate a better understanding of contemporary business practice in Africa through the application of relevant theories and models, including emergent ones. The Routledge Companion to Business in Africa is a comprehensive reference resource that provides the perfect platform for embarking on research and study into Africa from the business perspective.

African Entrepreneurs by Keith Marsden Pdf

This paper examines the role of modern African entrepreneurs and addresses some key issues of strategy and policy as seen through the eyes of the entrepreneurs rather than through the eyes of governments. Some broad conclusions can be drawn from the findings : 1) entrepreneurship is alive and well in Africa. It flourishes best where supportive policy regimes have allowed free markets to operate; 2) large numbers of African entrepreneurs employ wage labor and run enterprises on modern lines; 3) growth of individual enterprises from small to medium and large scale operations (in terms of both production and employment) is quite feasible; 4) many countries that have encouraged private enterprise and competitive markets have witnessed a rapid expansion in wage employment and rising per capita incomes; 5) foreign investment has not blocked entrepreneurship, rather many entrepreneurs acquired their basic technical and managerial skills working for foreign-owned companies; 6) market networks serve as vital mechanisms for diffusion of information and expertise among members; 7) modern African entrepreneurs are no different from entrepreneurs elsewhere in the world with their roles and characteristics corresponding closely to those depicted by classical and mainstream economists; and 8) further development of African private enterprise is being retarded by inadequate access to bank credit. The paper's annex lists twenty-five profiles of entrepreneurs in Africa.
