TaylorBloomington Indiana University Press20121 online resource (269 p.)Description based upon print version of record.0-253-00573-6 0-253-00266-4 Includes bibliographical references and index.African business and capitalism in historical perspective -- Institutional change in the 1990's : economic and political reform -- Business, the African state, and globalization in the new millennium : transnational influences and domestic responses -- Foreign investment beyond compradorism and primary commodities : the role of the global South -- From patrimonialism to profit? : the transformation of crony capitalists and bureaucratic bourgeoisies -- Going continental, going global : Africa's corporate "giants".Can Africa develop businesses beyond the extractive or agricultural sectors? What would it take for Africa to play a major role in global business? By focusing on recent changes, Scott D. Taylor demonstrates how Africa's business culture is marked by an unprecedented receptivity to private enterprise. Challenging persistent stereotypes about crony capitalism and the lack of development, Taylor reveals a long and dynamic history of business in Africa. He shows how a hospitable climate for business has been spurred by institutional change, globalization, and political and economic reform.Business enterprisesAfrica, Sub-SaharanGlobalizationAfrica, Sub-SaharanCapitalismAfrica, Sub-SaharanInvestments, ForeignAfrica, Sub-SaharanBig businessAfrica, Sub-SaharanElectronic books.Business enterprisesGlobalizationCapitalismInvestments, ForeignBig business338.70967Taylor Scott D.1965-968698MiAaPQMiAaPQMiAaPQBOOK9910465830603321Globalization and the cultures of business in Africa2200368UNINA03445oam 2200925M 450 991071561110332120191121065731.9(CKB)5470000002513958(OCoLC)1065820185(OCoLC)995470000002513958(EXLCZ)99547000000251395820070221d1845 ua 0engurcn|||||||||txtrdacontentcrdamediacrrdacarrierMessage from the President of the United States, communicating (in compliance with a resolution of the Senate) a copy of the report on national defence, made to the Engineer Department by Lieutenant Halleck of the Corps of Engineers.
