A deep dive into a success story in African business development, this book provides a multi-layered perspective on the realities of doing business in Kenya.
The book’s detailed information about the economic, social, technological, and cultural dimensions of Kenyan society enables a greater understanding of the major issues affecting business development, and actionable recommendations clarify the possible paths to starting and developing a business venture in Kenya.
