The economic crisis which has hit Africa since 1985 is raising
questions about Africa's future position in World Trade and whether
it has any chance of developing a competitive industrial structure.
Presenting studies of 55 exporting manufacturers in six African
countries, this collection examines the question of why some firms
in the Sub-Saharan economies have been able to develop export
trade, despite generally unfavourable circumstances. In particular
the papers seek to understand how these firms have been able to
sustain their competitiveness in the face of rapid technological
change in the international economy in the context of the threats
and promises such change presents to Africa. A case is made for
selective complementary investments by governments to build the
technological capabilities which are necessary for attaining and
maintaining competitiveness. The papers present empirical research
and a framework which should be of interest to academics in the
development field and to government as well as international policy
makers.
