Though without a library, or even an address, its tradition of lifelong entrepreneurial learning is an important area to explore. At a time when there is increased interest in Africa-centric business models, it is valuable to consider sustainable business prototypes built on established cultural practices, norms, and values. \u003cbr\u003e Academics will find the examination of innovative I-TBS business practices, a valuable contribution to sustainable development discourse in Africa and frontier markets. Practitioners and policymakers will gain insights into the unique practices of an indigenous entrepreneurship system in an African context, with implications for socioeconomic advancements.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eAuthor:\u003c\/b\u003e Ogechi Adeola\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN-10:\u003c\/b\u003e 1839090340\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN-13:\u003c\/b\u003e 9781839090349\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublisher:\u003c\/b\u003e Emerald Publishing Limited\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eLanguage:\u003c\/b\u003e English\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublished:\u003c\/b\u003e 12\/14\/2020\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePages:\u003c\/b\u003e 288\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eFormat:\u003c\/b\u003e Hardcover\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eWeight:\u003c\/b\u003e 4.05lbs\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eSize:\u003c\/b\u003e 9.50h x 6.70w x 0.80d","brand":"Ogechi Adeola","offers":[{"title":"Hardcover","offer_id":48088846991615,"sku":"9781839090349","price":127.99,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0662\/2982\/9887\/files\/img_98701539-e48d-4c62-b357-9ef608d87937.jpg?v=1769106873","url":"https:\/\/www.whiterainbookhouse.com\/products\/indigenous-african-enterprise-ogechi-adeola-9781839090349","provider":"WR Book House","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
