How Relevant is Flexible Specialisation in Burkina Faso's Informal Sector and the Formal Manufacturing Sector
To determine whether flexible specialisation can be found in the informal sector or in the formal industrial sector in Burkina Faso, the term is defined in such a manner that its importance can be assessed. It turned out that the 350 informal sector entrepreneurs interviewed in 1991 in Ouagadougou, the capital of Burkina Faso, rarely showed the traits associated with flexible specialisation. They used other mechanisms to survive in the very compe…
