COMPANIONS
Refreshing in its breadth and depth of coverage of the business landscape both in Africa and
on Africa.
Gerry Nkombo Muuka, Professor and Associate Dean in the College of Business at Murray State
University in Kentucky. USA
The Routledge Companion to Business in Africa offers a wide-ranging and authoritative evaluation
of the current state of play and is an effective antidote to an academic literature that neglects the
continent.
Entrepreneurship,
finance, markets and the business environment are amongst the
topics expertly covered with an underlying theme concerned with policy formation and sustainable
development. This companion fills a big gap in our knowledge and understanding of Africa.
Janet
Druker,
Professor, University of Westminster, UK
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.
nny Nwankwf is Professor of Marketing and
Entrepreneurship
at the University of East
London. UK.
Kevin
ìbeì
is Professor of Marketing and International Business at Birkbeck. University of
London. UK.
