A rare and timely intervention from Kingsley Chiedu Moghalu, Deputy Governor of the Central Bank of Nigeria, on development in Africa. To many, Africa is the new frontier. As the West lies battered by financial crisis, Africa is seen as offering limitless opportunities for wealth creation in the march of globalization. But what is Africa to today's Africans? Are its economies truly on the rise? And what is its likely future? In this pioneering book, leading international strategist Kingsley Moghalu challenges conventional wisdoms about Africa's quest for growth. Drawing on philosophy, economics and strategy, he ranges from capitalism to technological innovation, finance to foreign investment, and from human capital to world trade to offer a new vision of transformation. Ultimately he demonstrates how Africa's progress in the twenty-first century will require nothing short of the reinvention of the African mindset. 'Africans seriously analyzing Africa's opportunities are all too rare. Kingsley Moghalu writes with insight and authority' Paul Collier 'Savvy . . . distinguished' Mark Malloch-Brown 'Unique in the depth of its insight, the ambition of its scope, and the clarity of its argument. Kingsley Moghalu brings a remarkable intellect and his vast experience to this tour de force on Africa's economic transformation. This is a truly weighty contribution to understanding Africa's developmental dilemma and its quest for a more prosperous future' Ngozi Okonjo-Iweala 'Insightful and analytical . . . sheds instructive light on Africa's position in the world. It is a testament to the palpable optimism that encompasses Africa while frankly addressing the myriad challenges that lie ahead for its economic transformation' Shashi Tharoor Kingsley Chiedu Moghalu is Deputy Governor of the Central Bank of Nigeria. He was the Founder and CEO of Sogato Strategies S.A., a global strategy and risk management consulting firm in Geneva, Switzerland. He has previously worked for the United Nations for 17 years in strategic planning, legal, development finance and executive management.

Studies indicate that the first decade of the 21st century shows the fastest economies from sub-Saharan Africa. In 2013, some 'frontier' African economies will at last complete this transition and become established members of the emerging markets club. Across the continent, economies have grown strongly, despite the global economic malaise, and it is believed that this growth will be sustained in 2013 into 2014 and beyond. As Asia's economies slow and its wages rise, Africa will become the next preferred destination for labor-intensive manufacturing of products such as garments and shoes. Its large domestic market of 1.2 billion people will serve as a further attraction for low-cost, light manufacturing. The millennium has woken the African continent to get on technological wagon and it is no wonder that it is being dubbed the last investment frontier. This growth has been accompanied by the rise and rise of the entrepreneurial spirit. The following are the book chapters: Africa: Last Investment Frontier, History of Entrepreneurship, Business Opportunities in Kenya for 2013, Entrepreneurship Case Studies in Kenya, Learning Entrepreneurship, Branding and Marketing, Financial Management, Intellectual Property Management, Social Media Technology and Entrepreneurship, Project Management, Frequently Asked Questions, and Final Thoughts. The book should be a good resource for students, teachers, researchers, and entrepreneurs who have an interest in the Africa region. Available as a printed copy and ebook.
