Africa’s unique and diverse culture, embedded in age-long
business practices, presents an interesting proposition for
advancing indigenous knowledge and building sustainable structures.
Casebook of Indigenous Business Practices in Africa is a collection
of case studies across Northern, Eastern, Central, Western and
Southern parts of Africa. Indigenous enterprises contribute to the
economic prosperity of Africa and are an essential part of the
continent’s business ecosystem. Contributing authors to this
two-volume edited work explore the inherent potential of indigenous
practices in bolstering business performance and stimulating social
and economic development. The first volume focuses on
Apprenticeship, Craft, and Healthcare, while this second volume
considers Trade, Production and Financial Services, in featured
African countries. Indigenous business practices hold great
prospects for economic advancement in Africa, despite the dominance
of Western business methods, which, although beneficial, are yet to
drive the continent’s developmental agenda. By identifying and
exploring the unique features of these practices, multiple actors,
including entrepreneurs, policymakers, students, educators, and
practitioners, are provided with context-based information that can
foster social and economic empowerment across the continent. The
book extends the frontier of knowledge on the role of cultural
orientation, values, and traditions in achieving a more prosperous
Africa through the development of indigenous business knowledge.
