Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: "The current population youth bulge in Africa highly commends the timeliness of this insightful publication, focusing on the life stories of young people who have persevered to surmont interminable difficulties in order to make something of their future. The powerful messages conveyed in the publication are of relevance not only to the youth of Africa who should be motivated by these worthy role models to also teach for the skies. The conviction that problems can be overcome, no matter the odds. It should equally convert policy makers to more proactively co-opt the energies of the youth, in order to unleash their latent potential, towards accelerated political and economic transformation of the continent. May there be more visionary luminaries like Olubanke King-Akerele in Africa's search for progress." -Dr. Mary Chinery-Hesse, Member of the Panel of the wise of the AU, Former Chief Advisor to the President of the Republic of Ghana & Deputy DG of the International Labor Organization (Retired) This book "Growing" of Africa's Emergent Leadership offers more than a mere publication about Africa's Youth and improvement programs. Even though they are without doubt the backbone of Africa's further expansion, Olubanke King-Akerele's work on the "Growing" of Africa's Emergent Leadership is both inspiring and exceptional, just as Olubanke herself. But above all, she is a visionary and this is exactly what Africa needs. Africa is now leading continent, which needs visionaries to further strengthen it's position in the world. This book is an inspiration, not only for me, but for all people feeling passionate about Africa and the development of the youth and it delights me to support Olubanke and her work in every possible way.-Prof. Armoogum Parsuramen G.O.S.KFounder-President Global Rainbow Foundation Minister of Education Mauritius (1983-1995) Olubanke King-Akerele has produce a masterpiece work that is not only relevant for today's developmental challenges, but also very likely to stand the test of time. The strength of the work lies in the visionary apporach and superb analyses of the author, which is itself largely informed by her own personal and professional growth and experience both on the national stage, in Liberia and in the international arena, spanning more than three decades. Anyone truly interested in Africa's development more broadly, and in particular, how leadership could positively influence that development, must have a copy of this work, eloquently written by one of Africa's foremost scholar diplomats. -Lalla Aicha Ben-Barka, Assistant Director-General, Africa UNESCO, Paris. The "Growing" of Africa's Emergent Leadership, demonstrates a succinct style of impressive clarity, and focuses on the seriousness and legitimacy of Africa's next generation and the need for continuous cultivation of the continent's majority constituents. The organization of the book reflects Honourable King-Akerele's vast experience in youth development which inspired her writing. My unequivocal recommendation of the book rest in it's stimulating and exciting, yet challenging reality - a must read for youth of all ages and adults, especially governments and the private sector facing the challenge of youth development for eventual national leadership.Dr. Emmet Dennis, President of University of Liberia

Book excerpt: Emerging Africa describes the too-often-overlooked positive changes that have taken place in much of Africa since the mid-1990s.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: A rare and timely intervention from Kingsley Chiedu Moghalu, Deputy Governor of the Central Bank of Nigeria, on development in Africa. To many, Africa is the new frontier. As the West lies battered by financial crisis, Africa is seen as offering limitless opportunities for wealth creation in the march of globalization. But what is Africa to today's Africans? Are its economies truly on the rise? And what is its likely future? In this pioneering book, leading international strategist Kingsley Moghalu challenges conventional wisdoms about Africa's quest for growth. Drawing on philosophy, economics and strategy, he ranges from capitalism to technological innovation, finance to foreign investment, and from human capital to world trade to offer a new vision of transformation. Ultimately he demonstrates how Africa's progress in the twenty-first century will require nothing short of the reinvention of the African mindset. 'Africans seriously analyzing Africa's opportunities are all too rare. Kingsley Moghalu writes with insight and authority' Paul Collier 'Savvy . . . distinguished' Mark Malloch-Brown 'Unique in the depth of its insight, the ambition of its scope, and the clarity of its argument. Kingsley Moghalu brings a remarkable intellect and his vast experience to this tour de force on Africa's economic transformation.

It is a testament to the palpable optimism that encompasses Africa while frankly addressing the myriad challenges that lie ahead for its economic transformation' Shashi Tharoor Kingsley Chiedu Moghalu is Deputy Governor of the Central Bank of Nigeria. He was the Founder and CEO of Sogato Strategies S.A., a global strategy and risk management consulting firm in Geneva, Switzerland. He has previously worked for the United Nations for 17 years in strategic planning, legal, development finance and executive management. His previous books include Global Justice and Rwanda's Genocide.

Asiedu and published by AuthorHouse. This book was released on 2015-06-10 with total page 202 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: “This book is about accelerating Africa’s integration through the application of the growth triangle concept. Filled with rich experiences backed by research, this book is also a powerful account of how African countries’ border areas---many of which largely marginalized and clash points of conflicts---can be transformed into vibrant socio-economic security zones through local-regional development efforts. This book equally creates a necessary kind of working environment where micro-regionalism is given a significant role to play in addressing some of the protracted challenges associated with our continent’s “larger” groupings. A valuable piece of work and absolutely required reading for all of us (politicians, academics private sector, development practitioners, NGOS)”

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The Definitive Guide to Doing Business in Africa For global and Africa-based companies looking to access new growth markets, Africa offers exciting opportunities to build large, profitable businesses. Its population is young, fast-growing, and increasingly urbanized--while rapid technology adoption makes the continent a fertile arena for innovation. But Africa's business environment remains poorly understood; it's known to many executives in the West only by its reputation for complexity, conflict, and corruption. Africa's Business Revolution provides the inside story on business in Africa and its future growth prospects and helps executives understand and seize the opportunities for building profitable, sustainable enterprises. From senior leaders in McKinsey's African offices and a leading executive on the continent, this book draws on in-depth proprietary research by the McKinsey Global Institute as well as McKinsey's extensive experience advising corporate and government leaders across Africa. Brimming with company case studies and exclusive interviews with some of Africa's most prominent executives, this book comes to life with the vibrant stories of those who have navigated the many twists and turns on the road to building successful businesses on the continent. Combining an unrivalled fact base with expert advice on shaping and executing an Africa growth strategy, this book is required reading for global business executives looking to expand their existing operations in Africa--and for those seeking a road map to access this vast, untapped market for the first time.

Book excerpt: In an era of slowing growth, Africa is home to a trillion-dollar, resource-rich economy, and six of the ten fastest growing markets in the world. Success in Africa introduces the ambitious CEOs who are building the continent. These stories of growth, technology, and tradition bring life to one of the most important stories of the global economy: a successful Africa. The CEOs of General Electric, The Coca Cola Company, and Tullow Oil join Africa's leading CEOs to share insights on what wins in this fast-growth market. With twenty years of experience in frontier markets, including a decade working in Africa, author Jonathan Berman engages with top business leaders on the vast opportunities and challenges of the continent. Success in Africa pushes past the headlines on Africa's growth to answer the questions often asked by companies and investors: Who do I work with there and what drives them? How do I deal with government? What about war, disease, and poverty? What about China? How do I win? Success in Africa provides on-the-ground perspective, personal stories, and insight that Robert Rubin calls "essential reading for all who are interested in Africa for reasons of business, investment, policy, or curiosity."

Download or read book Routledge Handbook of the History of Women’s Economic Thought written by Kirsten Madden and published by Routledge. This book was released on 2018-10-03 with total page 466 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The marginalization of women in economics has a history as long as the discipline itself. Throughout the history of economics, women contributed substantial novel ideas, methods of inquiry, and analytical insights, with much of this discounted, ignored, or shifted into alternative disciplines and writing outlets. This handbook presents new and much-needed analytical research of women’s contributions in the history of economic thought, focusing primarily on the period from the 1770s into the beginning of the 21st century. Chapters address the institutional, sociological and historical factors that have influenced women economists’ thinking, and explore women’s contributions to economic analysis, method, policies and debates. Coverage is international, moving beyond Europe and the US into the Arab world, China, India, Japan, Latin America, Russia and the Soviet Union, and sub-Saharan Africa. This new global perspective adds depth as well as scope to our understanding of women’s contribution to the history of economic thought. The book offers crucial new insights into previously underexplored work by women in the history of economic thought, and will prove to be a seminal volume with relevance beyond that field, into women’s studies, sociology, and history.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This edited volume provides an overview of the current state and indigenous practices of leadership development (LD) in a select group of emerging market economies, including BRICS, Southeast and East Asia, Middle East, Eastern Europe, and Africa. While some authors focus exclusively on LD in the business sector, others discuss such topics as LD in higher education, the role of higher education institutions in leadership development for managers and executives, the role of religious institutions, and LD in the government and public sectors. Further, chapters on Brazil, Malaysia, Russia, Thailand, South Africa and South Korea include case studies of LD in individual companies. These cases and examples can be used in discussions of indigenous LD practices in courses on international and cross-cultural HRD, HRM, and leadership and organization development. Readers will benefit from this unique view of indigenous practices and perspectives from a variety of disciplinary backgrounds: HRD, HRM, and management and leadership studies. It is an essential read for academic audiences who recognize leadership development as a dominant trend both in developed and emerging economies.

Download or read book The Next Africa written by Jake Bright and published by Macmillan. This book was released on 2015-07-21 with total page 271 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The Next Africa, an Axiom Best Business Book Award winner, will change the way people think about the continent. The old narrative of an Africa disconnected from the global economy, depicted by conflict or corruption, and heavily dependent on outside donors is fading. A wave of transformation driven by business, modernization, and a new cadre of remarkably talented Africans is thrusting the continent from the world's margins to the global mainstream. In the coming decades the magnitude of Africa's markets and rising influence of its people will intersect with other key trends to shape a new era, one in which Africa's progress finally overshadows its challenges, transforming an emerging continent into a global powerhouse. The Next Africa captures this story. Authors Jake Bright and Aubrey Hruby pair their collective decades of Africa experience with several years of direct research and interviews. Packed with profiles; personal stories, research and analysis, The Next Africa is a paradigm-shifting guide to the events, trends, and people reshaping Africa's relationship to the world. Bright and Hruby detail the cross-cutting trends prompting Silicon Valley venture capital funds and firms like GE, IBM, and Proctor & Gamble to make major investments in African economies, while describing how Africans are stimulating Milan runways, Hollywood studios, and London pop charts. The Next Africa introduces readers to the continent's burgeoning technology movement, rising entrepreneurs, groundbreaking philanthropists, and cultural innovators making an impact in music, fashion, and film. Bright and Hruby also connect Africa's transformation to its contemporary immigrant diaspora, illustrating how this increasingly affluent group will serve as the thread that pulls the continent's success together. Finally, The Next Africa suggests a fresh framework for global citizens, public policy-makers, and CEOs to approach Africa. It will no longer be "The Hopeless Continent", nor will it become an overnight utopia. Bright and Hruby offer a more nuanced, net-sum, and data-rich approach to analyzing an increasingly complex continent, reconciling its continued challenges with rapid progress. The Next Africa describes a future of a more globally-connected Africa where its leaders and citizens wield significant economic, cultural, and political power--a future in which Americans will be more likely to own African stocks, work for companies doing business in Africa, buy African hits from iTunes, see Nigerian actors win Oscars, and learn new African names connected to tech moguls and billionaires.
