Abstract

These days, doing business in Africa is a necessity. But in view of the difficulties involved, knowing and understanding the current factors that govern Africa’s business environment and impact firms’ behaviour becomes an imperative for businesses to succeed on the continent. This study is therefore useful as it sheds light on those factors, in order to identify the available contours and technicalities, thereby providing information that can help in coming up with viable strategies for Small and Medium-sized Enterprises (SMEs).
