Business and Social Crisis in Africa (Hardcover)

Much of the time, when confronted with a crisis of national
dimensions, businesses do exactly what we expect them to do: they
look to their own survival. Occasionally, however, firms in some
contexts go beyond this. Based on qualitative, country-based
fieldwork in Eastern and Southern Africa, Antoinette Handley
examines how African businesses can be key responders to wider
social and political crises, often responding well in advance of
the state. She reveals the surprising ways in which business
responses can be focused, not on short-term profits, but instead on
ways that assist society in resolving that crisis in the long term.
Taking African businesses in Kenya, Uganda, Botswana and South
Africa as case studies, this detailed exploration of the private
sector response to crises, including HIV/AIDS and political
violence crises, introduces the concept of relative business
autonomy, exploring the conditions under which it can emerge and
develop, when and how it may decline, and how it might contribute
to a higher level of overall societal resilience.
