This edited book provides a comprehensive and up-to-date understanding of the challenges and opportunities facing entrepreneurs in sub-Saharan Africa. It adopts a venture-ship approach, emphasizing the dynamic and uncertain nature of entrepreneurship and underscoring the need for entrepreneurs to continually innovate and adapt to evolving conditions. It encompasses a broad spectrum of themes, covering the cultural, institutional, and economic contexts in which entrepreneurial endeavors unfold. It also discusses the role of technology and innovation as well as financing and investment, in addition to the impact of entrepreneurship on economic development and social change. The chapters span diverse subject matter, including topics ranging from the cultivation of entrepreneurial culture and the influence of educational systems to the ramifications of political and economic frameworks on entrepreneurial expansion. Additionally, it addresses the significance of social entrepreneurship, the burgeoning presence of female entrepreneurs, the transformative effects of digitalization, and the consequences of regional and international collaborations. They encapsulate the insights and perspectives of an array of stakeholders, including researchers, scholars, entrepreneurs, investors, and policymakers who have actively engaged with the entrepreneurial landscape in sub-Saharan Africa. Bringing together contributions from a diverse group of scholars and practitioners, this book offers an original, multidisciplinary, and pragmatic vantage point on entrepreneurship within the region. It not only enriches the existing body of literature but also serves as a catalyst for further research and scholarly discourse among entrepreneurship researchers.
