Conclusion; Juliet Siwale & Dieu Hack-Polay.Examining the experiences of Africans setting up businesses back home, the main focus of this book is to establish the economic, social and psychological reasons for such 'home direct investment'. Despite the personal sacrifices that are often needed in order to set up new ventures, the diaspora invests relentless effort and motivations in the pursuit of home ventures. The authors explore critical areas such as the social and psychological pressures that African Diasporas experience when investing in their home countries, as well as the management of diaspora businesses and the impact of such investment to local economies.Palgrave Studies of Entrepreneurship in Africa,2662-1177International business enterprisesNew business enterprisesVenture capitalProject managementSmall businessEmployee health promotionInternational BusinessStart-Ups and Venture CapitalProject ManagementSmall BusinessEmployee Health and WellbeingInternational business enterprises.New business enterprises.Venture capital.Project management.Small business.Employee health promotion.International Business.Start-Ups and Venture Capital.Project Management.Small Business.Employee Health and Wellbeing.332.6730967Hack-Polay Dieuedthttp://id.loc.gov/vocabulary/relators/edtSiwale Julianaedthttp://id.loc.gov/vocabulary/relators/edtBOOK9910298192303321African Diaspora Direct Investment2531210UNINA
