When a small African island nation receives its independence from Britain in the middle of the first decade of the twenty-first century, Otileti Gbankogboju becomes head of the caretaker government. A teacher and the proprietor of the only indigenous school, the well-educated Oti hopes that, by as acting prime minister, he can stabilize his developmentally backward country. The residents of this little nation have pinned their future hopes on Oti. To understand what qualities mold a great African leader, Oti and his wife, Phoebe, travel to Nigeria to learn from the president of the country. Oti thinks hes going to hear about selfless service because thats what he believes leading a country is all about. But he is shocked when the Nigerian president educates him on what really makes a great African leader. Built on satire and humor, The African Prince provides a fictionalized look into the power and corruption of Nigerias leaders.

Over 500 pages of facts, statistics, and records of every match and every player for the New Zealand national Rugby Union team from the first match in May 1884 up to December 2023.

The continent for science is also a continent for the humanities. Despite having no indigenous human population, Antarctica has been imagined in powerful, innovative, and sometimes disturbing ways that reflect politics and culture much further north. Antarctica has become an important source of data for natural scientists working to understand global climate change. As this book shows, the tools of literary studies, history, archaeology, and more, can likewise produce important insights into the nature of the modern world and humanity more broadly.

It is now widely recognized that in regions like Africa, for economic and other reasons, the public sector has had to disengage and divest from many areas of the economy and allow private enterprise, especially scalable start-ups and new ventures, to enter and flourish if economic development and employment are to grow. There is, however, a training and education gap since entrepreneurship is rarely taught formally at African universities and, when it is, it is often approached from a Western perspective which may not be appropriate given that African environments are significantly different from most Western ones in terms of economic infrastructure and political considerations. This book allows readers to understand the African entrepreneurial context by guiding them through the principal stages in the life of a new venture, and offers approaches, both Western and indigenous, that can inform their entrepreneurial actions. It concludes by examining some specialized topics, including female, youth, and social entrepreneurship, as well as real estate and technology. Exercises throughout the book will enable readers to evaluate their motivations and preparedness for entrepreneurship and learn how to communicate a new venture’s key features to potential stakeholders. By focusing on the distinctive features of entrepreneurship in the African context, and taking a conversational tone, this is an informative and practical text that will be useful for students of Global Entrepreneurship and Business as well as actual and prospective entrepreneurs in the private, non-profit, and public sectors.
