Samuel Adomako – författare

Building on past research in the broad field of stakeholder management and entrepreneurship, this book pushes a new agenda for more effective stakeholder engagement and management in entrepreneurial firms in Africa.

Adomako, Gyensare, and Ahsan provide a novel lens for entrepreneurs to manage stakeholders in Africa and a sense of current best practices. Issues discussed include how external stakeholders such as government, nongovernmental organizations, media, civil society organizations, and local institutions influence the core business operations of entrepreneurial firms. The book confronts the central challenge of entrepreneurship by providing a comprehensive understanding of how entrepreneurs could identify, select, enroll, and coordinate stakeholders. In addition, it assesses issues such as stakeholder influence on corporate social responsibility strategy, sustainability, and environmental management of entrepreneurial firms.

An essential read for postgraduate students, researchers, and public and private analysts.

Inclusive Entrepreneurship in Africa offers a timely and essential examination of how diversity, equity, and inclusion are reshaping the continent’s entrepreneurial landscape. Bringing together cutting-edge research, lived experiences, and practical strategies, this book highlights the untapped potential of women, refugee communities, and marginalised groups across Africa and the Global South. Organized into three thematic parts, the book explores the lived realities and innovation potential of women and refugee entrepreneurs; the performance and strategic advantages of gender-diverse entrepreneurial teams; and the role of inclusive design in building trusted, sustainable ventures. Each chapter offers new insights into how systemic barriers can be overcome through inclusive practices, stakeholder engagement, and culturally grounded entrepreneurship. Far from treating inclusion as a peripheral issue, this volume positions it as central to Africa’s entrepreneurial future. Inclusive Entrepreneurship in Africa is a powerful call to action for scholars, policymakers, investors, and practitioners to build more equitable ecosystems where all entrepreneurs –regardless of gender, background, or ability – can thrive and contribute to sustainable development across the continent.

Technology Entrepreneurship in Africa examines how technological innovation, policy reform, and inclusive ecosystems are reshaping the future of business and development across the continent. This book brings together contemporary research, empirical case studies, and practical insights to explore how African entrepreneurs are using technology to solve local challenges, create jobs, and drive sustainable economic transformation. Covering examples from diverse sectors and regions, it highlights how digital platforms, fintech solutions, and artificial intelligence are redefining enterprise creation, while also addressing social and structural inequalities.

Written for both academic and general audiences, the book combines theoretical analysis with real-world perspectives to show how entrepreneurs are navigating infrastructural gaps, financial constraints, and institutional complexity. Readers will encounter examples of how mobile money systems expand access to finance, how start-ups harness renewable energy to promote sustainability, and how young innovators and women-led enterprises are building resilient digital ecosystems. Across 14 chapters, contributors demonstrate that Africa’s technology entrepreneurs are not merely adapting to global trends, but also, they are actively shaping the direction of the global digital economy.

This book is both an analytical resource and a call to action. It challenges conventional narratives that frame Africa as a follower in technological innovation and instead presents the continent as a source of creativity, resilience, and leadership. By connecting technology with inclusion, policy, and sustainable growth, the book offers valuable insights for researchers, policymakers, investors, and practitioners committed to advancing equitable and transformative innovation.
