It is now widely recognized that in regions like Africa, for
economic and other reasons, the public sector has had to disengage
and divest from many areas of the economy and allow private
enterprise, especially scalable start-ups and new ventures, to
enter and flourish if economic development and employment are to
grow. There is, however, a training and education gap since
entrepreneurship is rarely taught formally at African universities
and, when it is, it is often approached from a Western perspective
which may not be appropriate given that African environments are
significantly different from most Western ones in terms of economic
infrastructure and political considerations. This book allows
readers to understand the African entrepreneurial context by
guiding them through the principal stages in the life of a new
venture, and offers approaches, both Western and indigenous, that
can inform their entrepreneurial actions. It concludes by examining
some specialized topics, including female, youth, and social
entrepreneurship, as well as real estate and technology. Exercises
throughout the book will enable readers to evaluate their
motivations and preparedness for entrepreneurship and learn how to
communicate a new venture's key features to potential stakeholders.
By focusing on the distinctive features of entrepreneurship in the
African context, and taking a conversational tone, this is an
informative and practical text that will be useful for students of
Global Entrepreneurship and Business as well as actual and
prospective entrepreneurs in the private, non-profit, and public
sectors.
