Economics of Sierra Leonean Entrepreneurship

As an in-depth study of entrepreneurship in an African economy, this book presents extensive historical and contemporary data on entrepreneurial development in Sierra Leone. The author demonstrates that entrepreneurial success in Sierra Leone, as elsewhere, is dependent on certain acquired entrepreneurial characteristics and the existence of a hospitable _social climate_ for entrepreneurial activity. The absence of a hospitable _social climate_ and inadequate managerial skills are found to be responsible for the paucity of successful indigenous entrepreneurs in Sierra Leone.Kallon, Kelfala M. is the author of 'Economics of Sierra Leonean Entrepreneurship' with ISBN 9780819175274 and ISBN 0819175277.
