Entrepreneurship and enterprise development in Africa

edited by Daniel Agyapong (Professor of Finance and Entrepreneurship, Department of Finance, University of Cape Coast) and Rosemond Boohene (Professor of Enterprise Development, Centre for Entrepreneurship and Small Enterprise Development, University of Cape Coast, Cape Coast, Ghana)

"Entrepreneurship and Enterprise Development in Africa presents a timely and compelling account of African entrepreneurship, shedding light on the critical part it plays in the continent's economic growth and development. It explores the various challenges, opportunities, and success stories that define the African entrepreneurial landscape and highlights the ingenuity and determination of the continent's entrepreneurial minds. Bringing together eminent scholars in the area, this book provides cutting-edge insights into African enterprise culture, and critically analyses issues of startups, managing enterprises, enterprise growth, and the uniqueness of trans-generational enterprises. It delves deep into the role of governments, investors, NGOs, and educational institutions in fostering an environment which allows for entrepreneurship to flourish. It also examines the power of networks and collaborations in building a support system that propels startups toward growth and success. Both authoritative and stimulating, this book will be an invaluable resource for academics and students in business and management and entrepreneurial studies. It will similarly be an indispensable read for policymakers, investors, and aspiring entrepreneurs looking to better understand Africa's entrepreneurial landscape"--
