About this book

The research papers and cases in The Changing Dynamics of International Business in Africa provide multi-disciplinary insights on the opportunities and challenges of doing business in Africa, as well as on the changing competitive dynamics in the region, as Western, BRIC and African multinationals intensify their fight for market dominance.

Reviews

“The book contains a mix of overview, quantitative and qualitative, case-study chapters, which makes it more comprehensive than other books written on similar themes. … The emphasis on Chinese, Brazilian and Indian investment on the continent, which the book discusses in detail, is timely and important. … This book is a unique contribution to the literature on international business in Africa and consequently deserves to be widely read.” (Pádraig Carmody, South African Journal of International Affairs, Vol. 23 (2), 2016)
