Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Consciente des limites des politiques d'ajustement structurel, la Banque mondiale prône désormais l'initiative privée comme moteur essentiel du développement. Après s'être efforcée de réduire les interventions étatiques, elle souhaite désormais un État « meilleur », assurant aux entreprises un contexte favorable. Cette nouvelle thérapie est-elle adaptée à l'Afrique ? Les ressorts individuels - psychologiques - d'une société capitaliste, se sont effectivement développés sur ce continent. Ce n'est pas la « culture africaine » qui est incompatible avec l'entreprise. Mais, pour des raisons matérielles (absence de capitaux, spécialisation primaire...) et politiques (absence de statut du citoyen, faible distinction entre espace privé et public...), le passage à une microéconomie performante et salvatrice, conforme aux vœux des bailleurs de fonds, s'avère difficile.

Download or read book Travail et entreprise en Afrique written by Jean-Marc Ela and published by KARTHALA Editions. This book was released on 2006-01-01 with total page 322 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Comment repenser le rapport au travail et à l'entreprise au moment où l'Etat se retire des affaires en Afrique? Telle est la question à laquelle cet ouvrage tente de répondre. A contre-courant des idées reçues, l'auteur ouvre des pistes de réflexion et d'analyse qui constituent une véritable introduction au débat majeur sur la productivité du travail et la compétitivité des entreprises en Afrique à l'ère de l'économie mondialisée. En prenant en compte l'articulation des rapports entre le travail, le temps et les sociétés, cette étude pluridisciplinaire met en lumière l'importance primordiale des fondements sociaux de l'efficacité économique dans les pays africains. Au sud du Sahara, l'entreprise est, en effet, à la recherche de son identité dans des sociétés marquées par la mémoire douloureuse des travaux forcés, une mémoire faite de violence et d'insoumission. Les attitudes et les comportements de l'homme au travail s'enracinent dans cette mémoire dont le poids dans les lieux de production aide à comprendre les défis qui interpellent les entrepreneurs. " Entreprendre " n'a de sens que si cet acte témoigne de la capacité de l'entrepreneur de canaliser le dynamisme qui sous-tend l'imaginaire d'insubordination, ouverte ou déguisée, devant ce que les Africains appellent " le travail du Blanc ". Dès lors, " entreprendre " est un acte risqué qui n'est pas d'abord une affaire de recettes mais relève de l'art. De toute évidence, à l'heure où l'on privatise à tout prix, un ordre productif ne peut être efficace et acceptable aux yeux des travailleurs africains que si l'objectif de compétitivité est compatible avec les attentes et les intérêts des hommes et des femmes qui participent à la vie des entreprises.

Download or read book Cultural Entrepreneurship in Africa written by Ute Röschenthaler and published by Routledge. This book was released on 2015-11-19 with total page 459 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This book seeks to widen perspectives on entrepreneurship by drawing attention to the diverse and partly new forms of entrepreneurial practice in Africa since the 1990s. Contrary to widespread assertions, figures of success have been regularly observed in Africa since pre-colonial times. The contributions account for these historical continuities in entrepreneurship, and identify the specifically new political and economic context within which individuals currently probe and invent novel forms of enterprise. Based on ethnographically contextualized life stories and case studies of female and male entrepreneurs, the volume offers a vivid and multi-perspectival account of their strategies, visions and ventures in domains as varied as religious proselytism, politics, tourism, media, music, prostitution, funeral organization, and education. African cultural entrepreneurs have a significant economic impact, attract the attention of large groups of people, serve as role models for many youths, and contribute to the formation of new popular cultures.

Download or read book Entrepreneurship in Africa written by Ven Sriram and published by Routledge. This book was released on 2020-11-16 with total page 222 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: It is now widely recognized that in regions like Africa, for economic and other reasons, the public sector has had to disengage and divest from many areas of the economy and allow private enterprise, especially scalable start-ups and new ventures, to enter and flourish if economic development and employment are to grow. There is, however, a training and education gap since entrepreneurship is rarely taught formally at African universities and, when it is, it is often approached from a Western perspective which may not be appropriate given that African environments are significantly different from most Western ones in terms of economic infrastructure and political considerations. This book allows readers to understand the African entrepreneurial context by guiding them through the principal stages in the life of a new venture, and offers approaches, both Western and indigenous, that can inform their entrepreneurial actions. It concludes by examining some specialized topics, including female, youth, and social entrepreneurship, as well as real estate and technology. Exercises throughout the book will enable readers to evaluate their motivations and preparedness for entrepreneurship and learn how to communicate a new venture’s key features to potential stakeholders. By focusing on the distinctive features of entrepreneurship in the African context, and taking a conversational tone, this is an informative and practical text that will be useful for students of Global Entrepreneurship and Business as well as actual and prospective entrepreneurs in the private, non-profit, and public sectors.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: L'entreprise, point d'appui et de référence des politiques de développement, est restée le parent pauvre des économies africaines. Pourtant les entrepreneurs africains font preuve d'une remarquable capacité d'adaptation à un contexte économique et institutionnel difficile. Un premier chapitre décrit l'entreprise africaine, son environnement, ses caractéristiques et ses politiques d'appui. Souvent spécialisée dans le commerce et l'artisanat, elles reste limitée dans sa taille et son développement par le manque de moyens financiers, l'étroitesse des marchés et la pression communautaire. Les deux chapitres suivants présentent les théories de l'entreprise et de l'entrepreneurs africains et privilégient une approche culturaliste, même si les modèles traditionnels ont été appliqués au contexte africain. Les deux derniers chapitres portent sur le tissu entrepreneurial Tchadien, et aboutissent à l'examen d'une enquête administrée à N'Djaména, à partir de questionnaires puis d'entretiens.

Download or read book Entrepreneurship in Africa written by David S. Fick and published by Bloomsbury Publishing USA. This book was released on 2002-03-30 with total page 312 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Who are the entrepreneurs who have achieved success, wealth, and recognition in their African homelands, and how did they do it? Entrepreneur Dave Fick interviewed several hundred women and men who were willing to assume risks, often spectacular ones, for personal economic gain—but who did it legally, ethically, and who are now giving back to their nations and societies at least as much as they received. They speak openly of their hardships and failures, what they did right and what they did wrong, and their accounts are remarkable. We gain insight into the way business must be done under harsh political and economic circumstances, but we also learn unusual techniques and strategies that others in more favorable milieus can use to accomplish similar feats. With commentaries from notable scholars and other businesspeople and with Fick's own first-hand onsite observations, the book is a self-educating colloquium, a collection of personal meetings, accounts, letters, emails and telephone calls between Fick, his counterparts in Africa, and others around the world. It is also an attempt to encourage a dialogue that will accelerate the exchange and spread of knowledge and ideas, and a way to help the people of Africa build a peaceful and better society for themselves and the world.
