ENTREPRENEURSHIP FOR SUSTAINABLE DEVELOPMENT IN AFRICA

CHAPTER ONE

INTRODUCTION

1.1 Background of the study

The global competitive environment is changing dramatically. Instead of large companies dominating international markets, with smaller businesses remaining local or regional, many small firms today have to be globally competitive, whether they enter the global arena or not. One way for small-and medium-sized enterprises to increase their global competitiveness is to form cooperative relationships with larger multi-national enterprises. Such arrangements allow small firms to reach global markets, while allowing large firms to reduce costs through greater specialisation.

Many authors also argue that entrepreneurship is largely a phenomenon of developed, industrialised countries and that, if only it could be transferred together with western management practices, can we solve the problems of underdevelopment (Scott et al., 2000, p.227). Entrepreneurship has been seen as a key to economic development in many countries across the globe for many years (OECD, 1998, 2003; UN, 2004). For instance, in the European Union’s Employment Strategies, entrepreneurship has been given a major role to increase the dynamism of economies and help employment creation and improvement (CEC, 1999, 2003). The relationship between entrepreneurship and economic growth, poverty and sustainable development (SD) is crucial for future global development, policy and research. The European Union’s ‘Gothenburg strategy’, adopted in 2001, is based upon the three complementary economic, social, and environmental pillars, recognising the inter-dependence of these factors (CEC, 2005).
