It uses (and critically analyses) the concept of Africapitalism - a management philosophy and movement which seeks to blend the best of African values and Western management theories as a basis for sustainable development in Africa - to understand the subtle factors that underpin business decisions in Africa. The collection of chapters in this book are organized around actors, issues, and reflections. They collectively present an account of Africapitalism, albeit from different perspectives and on different issues, and open up a new space for rethinking business and society relations in Africa from an Africapitalism perspective. Crucial is the critical engagement with both the discourse and practice of Africapitalism and its implications for sustainable development. It is anticipated that the challenges and opportunities highlighted by the book would be embraced by researchers, policy makers, and practitioners in the broad area of business and society in Africa This multidisciplinary book will be valuable reading for advanced students, researchers and policymakers looking at business in society; corporate social responsibility; sustainable business; international business and African development--Provided by publisher. 606 $aCapitalism$zAfrica 606 $aSustainable development$zAfrica 606 $aSocial responsibility of business$zAfrica 606 $aCapitalists and financiers$zAfrica 607 $aAfrica$xEconomic conditions$y21st century 607 $aAfrica$xEconomic policy 615 0$aCapitalism 615 0$aSustainable development 615 0$aSocial responsibility of business 615 0$aCapitalists and financiers 676 $a338.96 702 $aIdemudia$b Uwafiokun 702 $aAmaeshi$b Kenneth 801 0$bOCoLC-P 801 1$bOCoLC-P 906 $aBOOK 912 $a9910793549203321 996 $aAfricapitalism$93834367 997 $aUNINA
