商品描述

Despite the growing population and significant natural resources of Sub-Saharan Africa (SSA), economies in that region currently represent only 2% of global GDP. Finished goods are imported to Africa from the US, Europe, China and Japan, while commodities remain the primary export. Addressing this balance must be the primary focus of initiatives to foster economic growth and development across the region in the coming years. However, there is currently a lack of intellectual discourse that incorporates diverse firm-level and institutional-level theories, as well as the stakeholder perspective, to explain the transformation of Sub-Saharan Africa into a production economy. This two-volume edited work brings together scholars of business in Africa and economic transformation to discuss topics including the knowledge economy, inter-regional relations, supply chains, the informal economy, the service sector and more, creating a broad and probing analysis of Africa's potential for transformation and strategies to achieve it.

This second volume explores the relationship between institutions and sectoral productivity in SSA, emphasising the need for policies that integrate informal economy players into the formal structure to enhance socio-economic development. The volume suggest that strong governance, aligned policies, and the inclusion of informal sector innovations are crucial for improving productivity and achieving sustainable economic transformation in SSA. It will be of interest to scholars of business in Africa, international business, developing economies, business strategy and innovation.

商品描述(中文翻譯)

儘管撒哈拉以南非洲（SSA）的人口不斷增長且擁有豐富的自然資源，但該地區的經濟目前僅佔全球GDP的2%。成品主要從美國、歐洲、中國和日本進口到非洲，而商品則仍然是主要的出口項目。解決這一平衡必須成為未來幾年促進該地區經濟增長和發展的主要重點。然而，目前缺乏能夠結合多樣的企業層面和制度層面理論，以及利益相關者視角的智識討論，以解釋撒哈拉以南非洲轉型為生產經濟的過程。這部兩卷本的編輯作品匯集了非洲商業和經濟轉型的學者，討論包括知識經濟、區域間關係、供應鏈、非正式經濟、服務業等主題，對非洲轉型的潛力及實現策略進行廣泛而深入的分析。

第二卷探討了制度與撒哈拉以南非洲各行業生產力之間的關係，強調需要制定政策，將非正式經濟參與者納入正式結構，以促進社會經濟發展。該卷建議，強有力的治理、協調一致的政策以及納入非正式部門創新對於提高生產力和實現撒哈拉以南非洲的可持續經濟轉型至關重要。這將引起對非洲商業、國際商業、發展中經濟體、商業策略和創新的學者的興趣。
