The authors have taken great pains to bring to light business frameworks that have been largely part of high-performance companies for quite some time, but are largely absent as part of management philosophy and discussions in Africa. There is no doubt that the challenges in managing companies in Africa present a unique problem because of the peculiarities of the varied culture across the continent. Some of these peculiarities are also present in other developing economies so instances can be found elsewhere where great companies have emerged. The ones that are unique to Africa, on the other hand, need to be understood in a much more fundamental way that allows formulation of effective solutions. For that to happen, businesses in developing economies have to be familiar and highly conversant in management frameworks that have been a result of years of problem-solving. The authors have done exactly that, bringing together a set of management frameworks and insights gathered from experiences dealing with challenges within the context of a developing economy. Context, the lack of it or the prevalence of it, is what determines successful outcomes from applying these frameworks. Having an understanding of the context and how to execute strategy however depends on having a fundamental understanding of the frameworks the authors bring together in this book.Executing strategy without context is a recipe for failure of a company ,s strategy. This is the unitary lesson from this book, one worth taking seriously._,

A must read for those interested in national and business transformational development and are keen to share the experiences of authors who have been at the nuts and bolts level.

~Kwame Pianim, Economist and Founder, New World Investments; Chairman, Airtel Communications (Ghana) Ltd  
It is most refreshing that these three fine brains and great talents from Ghana have collaborated with experts in selected fields to write this compendium “Context: Executing Strategy in a Developing Economy”. I commend this book to leaders in the private and public sectors and pray the authors will all be fully involved in the future governance of Ghana.

~Sam Okudzeto, Founder and Senior Partner, Sam Okudzeto & Associates, Legal Practitioners.

This book is an essential material for understanding, initiating and translating a value chain activity into business functional activity. In totality, it will definitely serve as a springboard for focused leadership and transformational success for any business. This is the kind of scintillating work required for academic astuteness and business performance based on planned and executed strategy.  

~Joyce Rosalind Aryee, Executive Director, Salt and Light Ministries; Former CEO, Ghana Chamber of Mines; Former Minister of State, Ghana. 

A compelling guide for forward-thinking and high performing entrepreneurs and leaders, who appreciate diligent efforts towards ultimate growth, progress and success.

~Elizabeth Joyce Villars, Founder & Chairman, Camelot Group
 

Reseña del editor

This is a book that is timely for the current set of challenges facing companies which find their beginnings in the African environment. The authors have taken great pains to bring to light business frameworks that have been largely part of high-performance companies for quite some time, but are largely absent as part of management philosophy and discussions in Africa.

There is no doubt that the challenges in managing companies in Africa present a unique problem because of the peculiarities of the varied culture across the continent. Some of these peculiarities are also present in other developing economies so instances can be found elsewhere where great companies have emerged. The ones that are unique to Africa, on the other hand, need to be understood in a much more fundamental way that allows formulation of effective solutions. For that to happen, businesses in developing economies have to be familiar and highly conversant in management frameworks that have been a result of years of problem-solving.

The authors have done exactly that, bringing together a set of management frameworks and insights gathered from experiences dealing with challenges within the context of a developing economy.

Context, the lack of it or the prevalence of it, is what determines successful outcomes from applying these frameworks. Having an understanding of the context and how to execute strategy however depends on having a fundamental understanding of the frameworks the authors bring together in this book.

Executing strategy without context is a recipe for failure of a company’s strategy. This is the unitary lesson from this book, one worth taking seriously.
