Full Description
This edited volume tracks emerging perspectives to understanding contemporary and future-oriented trends relating to entrepreneurship in Africa. Following recent developments, such as the rising interest in Pan Africanism, and socio-economic developments with several African countries emerging as new regional hotspots for economic growth and entrepreneurship (e.g. Nigeria, Egypt), chapters provide case-based evidence and relevant theorisation in order to account for aspects of the emerging realities in Africa. While much of the existing literature takes an overarching economistic approach, in this book contributors do not overlook the necessity for constantly providing evidence and updating such frameworks. Instead, authors take an in-depth look at emerging perspectives to African entrepreneurship, which are currently overlooked and merit further investigation from a theoretical standpoint. Featuring context-based analysis, theoretical and conceptual approaches, case-based material as well as original interviews, the book is a vital resource for students, researchers and policy makers.
