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. 606 $aBusiness enterprises$zAfrica, Sub-Saharan 606 $aGlobalization$zAfrica, Sub-Saharan 606 $aCapitalism$zAfrica, Sub-Saharan 606 $aInvestments, Foreign$zAfrica, Sub-Saharan 606 $aBig business$zAfrica, Sub-Saharan 608 $aElectronic books. 615 0$aBusiness enterprises 615 0$aGlobalization 615 0$aCapitalism 615 0$aInvestments, Foreign 615 0$aBig business 676 $a338.70967 700 $aTaylor$b Scott D.$f1965-$0968698 801 0$bMiAaPQ 801 1$bMiAaPQ 801 2$bMiAaPQ 906 $aBOOK 912 $a9910465830603321 996 $aGlobalization and the cultures of business in Africa$92200368 997 $aUNINA
