Over the past forty years, industry and business interests have moved increasingly from the developed to the developing world, yet Africa's share of global manufacturing has fallen from about 3 percent in 1970 to less than 2 percent in 2014. Industry is important to low-income countries. It is good for economic growth, job creation, and poverty reduction. Made in Africa: Learning to Compete in Industry outlines a new strategy to help Africa gets its fair share of the global market. Here, case studies and econometric and qualitative research from Africa, as well as emerging Asia, help the reader understand what drives firm-level competitiveness in low-income countries.Investments, ForeignAfricaEconomic developmentAfricaInternational cooperationIndustrial policyAfricaIndustrializationAfricaAfricaEconomic conditions1960-Investments, ForeignEconomic developmentInternational cooperation.Industrial policyIndustrialization338.96Newman Carol1977-863684Tarp Finn1951-Söderbom MånsAbebe ShimelesRand John1974-Page John M.1949-Brookings Institution,MdBmJHUPMdBmJHUPBOOK9910311931603321Made in Africa1927756UNINA
