      abstract = {This comprehensive handbook offers a state-of-the-art  guide to new frontiers of African entrepreneurship. Written  from a Pan-African perspective by a cast of international  authors, the book addresses the rapid modernisation and  evolution of African entrepreneurship and business  practices. It maps new developments in entrepreneurial  ecosystems, technology and digital entrepreneurship,  entrepreneurship in conflict zones, and gender and  diversity issues. It proposes new models for  entrepreneurial financing and explores the contrast between  entrepreneurship in high-technology urban centers with  peripheral rural districts and conflict zones. Bringing  together empirical insights and case studies from countries  across Africa, the Handbook illuminates regional and  contextual differences and shares theoretical and practical  insights which inform policy and practice. It is an ideal  guide for researchers and students working on international  business, entrepreneurship and emerging economies. It will  also inform policymakers in developing context-informed  entrepreneurial policies and initiatives in Africa.
