Entrepreneurship
in Africa: A Study of Success
by
David S. Fick
Book Description::
Entrepreneurship in Africa is a
study of those entrepreneurs who
have achieved success, wealth,
and fame by organizing and
directing a business undertaking
in Africa. It is a story about
successful
entrepreneurs who have assumed
risk in pursuit of profit, who
have tried to conform to ethical
business standards and who have
tried to contribute to the
economic development and improve
the natural environment and the
education, health, and welfare of
their community and nation. The
philosophies underpinning their
economic success and their
endeavors to improve their
communities have been included
whenever correspondence with the
entrepreneurs related them. This
book is a journey through the
economic world of Africa. It is a
search through Web sites, books,
newspapers, and periodicals for
entrepreneurs who have been
successful in Africa, for the
projects and policies that
improve their road to
opportunity, and for expert
commentary on the best ways to
accomplish the economic and
social development of Africa. It
is a self-educating dialogue
through personal meetings,
letters, e-mails, and phone calls
with interested parties in Africa
and around the world on the
future well-being of the people
living and working in Africa. It
is meant to encourage a dialogue
so that knowledge and ideas may
be exchanged with the goal of
improving Africa and the world. I
hope that, by doing this,
Africans and those who observe
the region can learn from past
mistakes and current successes
and build a peaceful and better
society for all of Africa's
people. See our ATA website for

Bartering? Check it

In a recent search of the web
for business topics, we came
across a very interesting website
by Jack Schacht. Here's what he
had to day that peaked our
interest. "Just because you're
short on cash doesn't mean that
you have to go without. More and
more people are turning to
bartering--and finding that it
can be good for business.
Retailers, manufacturers and
service businesses are now using
barter to turn their down time
and/or excess inventory into a
way not only to accumulate trade
dollars, but to attract new
business." Visit the Sideroad

"Prejudices
about a country or its people can
best be removed by visiting the
place." The stone walls of
prejudice and indifference are
crumbling fast, as vast areas of

Mongolia, Arabia and much of
Africa open their doors to
tourism. Small wonder today's
need for solid partnerships and
workable action plans has become
front and center.
