Description

"There is a dearth of books on African industry. This one helps remedy such paucity. Unlike other books on industry, it introduces the reader to the political, social, and economic conditions of the continent, thus providing the reader with background setting. This is an important feature of the book for the majority of readers whose exposure to the African situation might be limited. The rest of the book deals with the core subject matter, manufacturing. It discusses natural and human resources, infrastructure and progress in improving constraints on industrial development; reviews industrial development; identifies industrial priorities; suggests options for implementing the priorities; and presents strategies for the development of manufacturing.". "The book is a gold mine of information (for a region where information is hard to come by) for potential investors, governments, consulting firms, R&D institutions, universities and individuals interested in African affairs."--BOOK JACKET.
