Download or read book L entrepreneuriat f minin en Afrique entre bricolage et survie written by Nene Kane and published by Editions L'Harmattan. This book was released on 2021-12-17 with total page 261 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Dans un contexte de globalisation, l'entrepreneuriat féminin s'assimile de plus en plus, quasi automatiquement, à un entrepreneuriat de nécessité motivé par l'obligation de créer son entreprise pour sortir de la précarité et de la pauvreté. Ainsi, l'entrepreneuriat de survie occupe une place centrale dans toutes les sociétés africaines. Cette dichotomie pauvreté/ entrepreneuriat féminin concentre toutes les réflexions surtout en contexte de Covid 19. Il s'avère difficile de quantifier du point de vue statistique l'importance de l'entrepreneuriat de survie à travers le monde. Toutefois, selon la Banque Africaine de développement, l'entrepreneuriat de survie représenterait près de 55 % du produit intérieur brut (PIB) cumulé de l'Afrique subsaharienne.

This book was released on 2010-12 with total page 104 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: L'accompagnement technique adapté aux besoins des Micro, Petites et Moyennes Entreprises (MPME) est l'un des maillons faibles de la chaîne des dispositifs de promotion de l'entrepreneuriat en Afrique. Dans ce cadre, nous avons réalisé une analyse des approches théoriques, complétée par un stage pratique au Québec. Ce stage nous a permis d'observer le fonctionnement des organismes de crédit communautaire dans plusieurs phases d'accompagnement des entreprises et d'analyser l'impact opéré par une telle démarche sur les Très Petites, Petites et Moyennes Entreprises au Québec. A l'issue de ce parcours, nous retenons que la synergie entre les structures d'appui à l'entrepreneuriat, la communauté locale et l'Etat sont indispensables pour faire des MPME un pôle complémentaire de création de richesses et d'emplois dans l'économie des pays africains. Pour intégrer ces leçons dans le contexte africain nous avons proposé un mécanisme d'accompagnement entrepreneurial qui intègre un continuum de services de proximité, personnalisés, adaptés aux besoins des MPME et disponibles autant que l'entrepreneur en sollicite

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: According to a 2018 World Bank report, Africa is the only region with more women than men choosing to become entrepreneurs – a phenomenon that is not the subject of adequate discussion.

Specially invited subject experts present salient dimensions of entrepreneurship by African women, from environmental factors to motivations and influencers as well as financial and non-financial constraints, and highlight the significant role of cultural differences. This book provides a mixture of theoretical, conceptual, and empirical research, and fills the knowledge gap by presenting a wide range of opportunities and challenges faced by sub-Saharan African women entrepreneurs. This book will help policy makers and academic researchers in understanding the role of institutions and entrepreneurship policy in building a thriving entrepreneurial ecosystem in the region.

Download or read book Capacity Building in Developing and Emerging Countries written by Elie Chrysostome and published by Springer. This book was released on 2019-07-16 with total page 317 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This book explores new perspectives on how to improve the chances of success regarding capacity building in developing and emerging countries. Drawing on lessons learned in the course of six decades of capacity building research and practice, it identifies the required conditions for the success of capacity building efforts, and suggests that a radical change in mindset has become a critical aspect in developing countries. In addition, the book discusses capacity building in connection with entrepreneurship (especially female entrepreneurship), transnational diaspora remittances, and combating corruption, which it considers to be essential drivers of sustainable development in developing and emerging countries. The book’s contributing authors represent the leading minds in capacity building research and practice, and include researchers from prestigious universities in North America, Europe and Africa, as well as international development experts from institutions such as the International Monetary Fund (IMF), the World Bank, African Development Bank, and African Capacity Building Foundation.

Download or read book Critical Perspectives on Entrepreneurship written by Caroline Essers and published by Routledge. This book was released on 2017-02-17 with total page 279 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Entrepreneurship is largely considered to be a positive force, driving venture creation and economic growth. Critical Perspectives on Entrepreneurship questions the accepted norms and dominant assumptions of scholarship on the matter, and reveals how they can actually obscure important questions of identity, ideology and inequality. The book’s distinguished authors and editors explore how entrepreneurship study can privilege certain forms of economic action, whilst labelling other, more collective forms of organization and exchange as problematic. Demystifying the archetypal vision of the white, male entrepreneur, this book gives voice to other entrepreneurial subjectivities and engages with the tensions, paradoxes and ambiguities at the heart of the topic. This challenging collection seeks to further the momentum for alternate analyses of the field, and to promote the growing voice of critical entrepreneurship studies. It is a useful tool for researchers, advanced students and policy-makers.

Download or read book Innovation and Small Firms written by Zoltán J. Ács and published by MIT Press. This book was released on 1990 with total page 234 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Utilizing a unique data set, Zoltan Acs and David Audretsch provide a rich empirical analysis of the increased importance of small firms in generating technological innovations and their growing contribution to the U.S. economy. They identify the contributions made by both small and large firms to the innovative process and the manner in which market structure, and the firm-size distribution in particular, responds to technological change. The authors' analysis relies on traditional theories of industrial organization and tests existing hypotheses, many of them previously untested due to data constraints. Innovation and Small Firms brings together two large data bases recently released by the U. S. Small Business Administration - one directly measuring innovative activity for large and small firms, the other providing a detailed census of economic activity for all manufacturing firms and plants across a broad spectrum of industries. Acs and Audretsch describe and evaluate the data bases in the context of the literature on innovation, market structure, and firm size. They present their findings on the presence of small firms, small-firm entry in manufacturing, small-firm growth and flexible technology, and mobility and firm size. They compare static and dynamic measures of small-firm viability and address the relationships between R&D, innovation, and productivity, and analyze the interaction between technological regimes and the role of government in innovation.

Download or read book Entrepreneurship As Practice written by Neil Aaron Thompson and published by Routledge. This book was released on 2021-08-19 with total page 133 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This innovative book takes seriously the ordinary activities of entrepreneurship and maps out new pathways for scholars to understand the nature, properties, and implications of studying practices for entrepreneurship studies. Entrepreneurship is neither an art nor a science, but a bundle of practices, as Peter Drucker once observed. Curiously however, academic research on entrepreneurship mostly abstracts away from practical activity. In contrast, Entrepreneurship As Practice takes ordinary activities of entrepreneurship seriously by mapping out new pathways for scholars to consider the everyday practices through which entrepreneurship occurs. Each chapter draws on contemporary theories of practice to illuminate the nature, properties, and implications of studying the practices of entrepreneurship. The chapters in this book were originally published as a special issue of the journal Entrepreneurship & Regional Development.

This unique team (many of the authors are themselves diasporans with an extensive understanding of their topic) provides the first global academic platform on the subject, combining the latest empirical evidence from developing, emerging, transitional and developed countries with various combinations of diaspora flows that to date have received little attention.
