Each section is introduced by a conceptual chapter written by academics to set the stage and provide an overview of the pertinent issues for the subject matter in Africa. Subsequent chapters written by managers offer in-depth insights into some of the specific issues, challenges, and actions companies engage in while doing business in Africa. The sections cover market entry forms, sales, marketing and distribution, supply chain and logistics, as well as leadership, human resources and financing. The book brings together the European and the African perspectives as operational business issues are equally relevant for all companies.
