It adopts a broad innovation systems approach. The book examines entrepreneurship, innovation, and technology commercialisation alongside context-specific factors associated with them. It also provides an interdisciplinary perspective, by discussing the above disciplines in a connected way. This book is presented in three distinct parts. It starts by discussing entrepreneurship and the state of the entrepreneurial ecosystem in Africa. It then moves on to present technology commercialisation in Africa, before finally discussing the future directions for entrepreneurship, technology commercialisation and innovation policy. This broad picture provided in the book enables the reader to grasp the relevant messages, whilst the detailed analysis applies world-class theories and frameworks to deepen the readers understanding of key concepts and issues examined. 001434256 588__ $$aDescription based on print version record. 001434256 650_0 $$aEntrepreneurship$$zAfrica. 001434256 650_0 $$aTechnological innovations$$zAfrica. 001434256 650_0 $$aInformation policy$$zAfrica. 001434256 650_6 $$aEntrepreneuriat$$zAfrique. 001434256 650_6 $$aInnovations$$zAfrique. 001434256 650_6 $$aInformation$$xPolitique gouvernementale$$zAfrique. 001434256 655_0 $$aElectronic books. 001434256 7001_ $$aDaniels, Chux,$$eeditor$$1https://orcid.org/0000-0002-5179-4176. 001434256 7001_ $$aDosso, Mafini,$$eeditor. 001434256 7001_ $$aAmadi-Echendu, Joe E.,$$eeditor. 001434256 77608 $$iPrint version:$$tEntrepreneurship, Technology Commercialisation, and Innovation Policy in Africa.$$b1st ed. 2021.$$dCham : Springer International Publishing : Imprint: Springer, 2021$$z9783030582401 001434256 852__ $$bebk 001434256 85640 $$3Springer Nature$$uhttps://univsouthin.idm.oclc.org/login?url=https://link.springer.com/10.1007/978-3-030-58240-1$$zOnline Access$$91397441.1 001434256 909CO $$ooai:library.usi.edu:1434256$$pGLOBAL_SET 001434256 980__ $$aBIB 001434256 980__ $$aEBOOK 001434256 982__ $$aEbook 001434256 983__ $$aOnline 001434256 994__ $$a92$$bISE
