Download or read book Small scale Enterprises in Rural Kenya written by Daniyel Felzenshṭain and published by Kit Pub. This book was released on 2000 with total page 68 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The authors of this book argue that small-scale enterprises are not necessarily the marginal features of developing economies they are often thought to be. If micro-enterprises with 0-4 employees succeed in developing into small enterprises with 5-19 workers, they can form a dynamic sector with vital links to agriculture and other sectors of the economy. Taking this argument as a starting point for their research in the Nakuru and Kericho Districts in Kenya, the authors aim to explain why most micro-enterprises remain small. They convincingly demonstrate that small-scale enterprises face considerable constraints at all stages of their development. These constraints specifically operate against female-owned, rurally located and service-oriented businesses. Innovative policy interventions are needed to remove these constraints and enhance the sector's contribution to peoples' cash incomes and economic welfare. By providing detailed information on the features of small-scale enterprises and their problems during formation, operation and growth, this book lays the foundations for effective and tailor-made support.
Download or read book Entrepreneurship in Micro enterprises written by Kenneth R. Gray and published by University Press of America. This book was released on 1996 with total page 190 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This timely and important work studies Kenya's small scale manufacturers. What makes the book unique is Gray's sub-sector approach, which focuses on the particular industries of tailoring, woodwork and metalwork. Gray investigates the development of these sub-sectors by taking a strategic management approach. Such an approach allows the author to assess enterprise competitiveness and profitability within industries. Readers will find that the information in this book serves as a well-needed supplement to the literature on the World Bank's July 1995 decision to focus more on micro-enterprise development. The book will appeal to many different audiences including development agencies concerned with the economic development community and the international academic community. Business and social science students who are interested in how work is organized in the family and the effects of modernization on traditional society will also benefit from reading this book.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Small and micro enterprises have been an important theme in development thinking since 1950s, yet for a variety of reasons East African governments and administrations have been sceptical about their role in their own countries' development. While many constraints have been lifted by the more liberal policies of the 1990s, many micro entrepreneurs and their labourers, primarily women, are still fighting for an enlarged social space. The papers in this book describe these strategies of negotiation between rural micro enterprises and the new liberalised rural economy.

Download or read book Smart Economy in Smart Cities written by T. M. Vinod Kumar and published by Springer. This book was released on 2016-08-25 with total page 1094 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The present book highlights studies that show how smart cities promote urban economic development. The book surveys the state of the art of Smart City Economic Development through a literature survey. The book uses 13 in depth city research case studies in 10 countries such as the North America, Europe, Africa and Asia to explain how a smart economy changes the urban spatial system and vice versa. This book focuses on exploratory city studies in different countries, which investigate how urban spatial systems adapt to the specific needs of smart urban economy. The theory of smart city economic development is not yet entirely understood and applied in metropolitan regional plans. Smart urban economies are largely the result of the influence of ICT applications on all aspects of urban economy, which in turn changes the land-use system. It points out that the dynamics of smart city GDP creation takes ‘different paths,’ which need further empirical study, hypothesis testing and mathematical modelling. Although there are hypotheses on how smart cities generate wealth and social benefits for nations, there are no significant empirical studies available on how they generate urban economic development through urban spatial adaptation. This book with 13 cities research studies is one attempt to fill in the gap in knowledge base.

Download or read book The Arts and Indigenous Knowledge Systems in a Modernized Africa written by Runette Kruger and published by Cambridge Scholars Publishing. This book was released on 2018-12-17 with total page 370 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This collection derives from a conference held in Pretoria, South Africa, and discusses issues of indigenous knowledge systems (IKS) and the arts. It presents ideas about how to promote a deeper understanding of IKS within the arts, the development of IKS-arts research methodologies, and the protection and promotion of IKS in the arts. Knowledge, embedded in song, dance, folklore, design, architecture, theatre, and attire, and the visual arts can promote innovation and entrepreneurship, and it can improve communication. IKS, however, exists in a post-millennium, modernizing Africa. It is then the concept of post-Africanism that would induce one to think along the lines of a globalized, cosmopolitan and essentially modernized Africa. The book captures leading trends and ideas that could help to protect, promote, develop and affirm indigenous knowledge and systems, whilst also making room for ideas that do not necessarily oppose IKS, but encourage the modernization (not Westernization) of Africa.
Download or read book Low carbon Technology Transfer written by David G. Ockwell and published by Routledge. This book was released on 2012-12-12 with total page 391 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Low carbon technology transfer to developing countries has been both a lynchpin of, and a key stumbling block to a global deal on climate change. This book brings together for the first time in one place the work of some of the world's leading contemporary researchers in this field. It provides a practical, empirically grounded guide for policy makers and practitioners, while at the same time making new theoretical advances in combining insights from the literature on technology transfer and the literature on low carbon innovation. The book begins by summarizing the nature of low carbon technology transfer and its contemporary relevance in the context of climate change, before introducing a new theoretical framework through which effective policy mechanisms can be analyzed. The north-south, developed-developing country differences and synergies are then introduced together with the relevant international policy context. Uniquely, the book also introduces questions around the extent to which current approaches to technology transfer under the international policy regime might be considered to be 'pro-poor'. Throughout, the book draws on cutting edge empirical work to illustrate the insights it affords. The book concludes by setting out constructive ways forward towards delivering on existing international commitments in this area, including practical tools for decision makers.
