In doing so, it focuses on context-specific challenges for conducting entrepreneurial activities or business endeavors in smaller firms in the African continent. The book responds to calls for more research about African businesses given the acknowledgement of scholars, students and policy makers around the world who realize the increasing and growing economic importance of the African continent. In addition to serving as a source book for more in-depth studies by assisting the reader in gaining increased understanding of the topics covered, complementing the different parts with reviews, the book also elaborates on issues such political unrest, corruption, untrained personnel and environmental concerns. Entrepreneurship and SME Management Across Africa: Context, Challenges, Cases will be useful to academics with an interest in different entrepreneurial contexts in general, and Africa in particular, and for students interested in regional business practices, as well as for practitioners and policy makers. 000764097 588__ $$aDescription based on print version record. 000764097 650_0 $$aEntrepreneurship$$zAfrica. 000764097 7001_ $$aAchtenhagen, Leona,$$d1969-$$eeditor. 000764097 77608 $$iPrint version:$$z9811017255$$z9789811017254$$w(OCoLC)950476476 000764097 830_0 $$aFrontiers in African business research. 000764097 852__ $$bebk 000764097 85640 $$3SpringerLink$$uhttps://univsouthin.idm.oclc.org/login?url=http://link.springer.com/10.1007/978-981-10-1727-8$$zOnline Access$$91397441.1 000764097 909CO $$ooai:library.usi.edu:764097$$pGLOBAL_SET 000764097 980__ $$aEBOOK 000764097 980__ $$aBIB 000764097 982__ $$aEbook 000764097 983__ $$aOnline 000764097 994__ $$a92$$bISE
