In this guide for those who want to do business in Africa, business consultant Gekonge outlines the historical, political, and social background of the African continent within the context of the global economy. The most important chapter in the book covers international trade, regional integration schemes and processes, African regional integration, and regional trading blocs. There is also material on currencies, banking systems, legal frameworks, literacy levels, WTO membership, and links to China and India. Two chapters offer a strategic model for entering African markets and models of strategic management and corporate-level strategies. Final chapters discuss challenges such as poverty, climate change, weak governance, and disease.
