Abstract:
Employing 20% of the African workforce, small and medium-sized enterprises are a real economic engine. Information and communication technologies (ICTs) can be a smart investment for African entrepreneurs, enabling them to boost productivity, tap into international markets, and offer better service to their customers. ICT and entrepreneurship expert Russell Southwood explains some of the ways in which ICTs and small business can combine to form a motor of economic development in Africa
