Research has shown that SMEs fail when entrepreneurs do not understand the environment in which they operate their businesses, or the psychology and culture of their potential clients. Business failures have obvious negative impacts on entrepreneurs and their families. However, these failures also affect the overall economy and employment rates, which can negatively affect society through high levels of unemployment, reduced government spending on basic services, and instability.
AAE publishes articles on its website (https://aaeafrica.org) to provide entrepreneurs with insights on the business environment in Africa. The target audiences for these articles are entrepreneurs, government departments, civil society, and donor agencies. The goal is to help these audiences make informed decisions about how to support business, innovation, and entrepreneurial spirit.
We are looking for online volunteers to write articles on the business of African countries. Articles highlight the trends and features and provide clear, unique insights. Writing data are often a mix of primary sources (including interviews) and secondary data.
Articles may focus on one country or a local community and address SME situation in Africa, including opportunities, step-by-step guide to starting a venture, state cultures and their impact, narratives, sustainable Industrialization, cultural business, case studies, trends and best practices.
Successful articles would be published on our website.
