Guts, Grit and God? Spiritual Capital and Entrepreneurial Resilience in a Turbulent Environment
Entrepreneurs operating in turbulent environments face significant uncertainty, resource constraints and institutional instability, requiring innovative coping mechanisms. Although resilience research has traditionally focused on tangible and network‐based resources, the role of spiritual capital as a critical, yet largely unexplored, resource for entrepreneurial action remains insufficiently understood. This study addresses this gap by investiga…
Business incubators in Africa
This paper reviews research on business incubators in Africa, as a policy tool for supporting entrepreneurial businesses. Combining bibliometric and narrative approaches, it identifies five themes in the literature: incubator types and support; incubator performance and innovation; incubator impact on businesses and economy; incubator role in start-ups; and incubator as enabler of learning. It also highlights gaps for future research, including t…
Do we measure what should be measured? Towards a research and theoretical agenda for STI measurement in Africa
Response to Health Crises in Africa
Science advice aids in integrating scientific evidence into policymaking. In Africa, a significant gap exists between science and policy, necessitating high-quality advisory services. The Multifaceted Response Development from Research on COVID-19 in Africa (MURDER COVID-19) project by the Nigerian Young Academy (May 2021–April 2023) aimed to bridge this gap. Project outputs included eight policy briefs, 10 webinars, a hybrid international confer…
The production of social science research in Nigeria
Nigeria has a very large research system, with nearly 200 universities that employed more than 60,000 academic staff at the end of 2019. The country is also one of Africa’s largest producers of scientific research across all disciplines, surpassed only by South Africa and Egypt. In the social sciences, in particular, Nigeria is Africa’s second-largest producer of published research, after South Africa. However, the country’s social science resear…
Diffusion of social science research in Nigeria
Understanding the research-policy nexus in developing economies requires knowing who disseminates and how social science research (SSR) is diffused. Based on survey and secondary data on a diverse set of critical stakeholders, this paper characterises the SSR diffusion landscape in Nigeria. We find that university researchers are the most active disseminators of SSR though other actors also engage in dissemination activities. Collaboration among …
Meeting the 21st century challenges of doing business in Africa
Firm-level innovation in Africa
International audience
Complementarity in firm-level innovation strategies
We present and analyse firm-level innovation data from Kenya and Nigeria. We test for the existence of complementarities between internal R&D and external innovation activities, and between organizational and marketing innovations. Some evidence is found on the existence of complementarities between internal and external technological innovation strategies in the case of Kenya, but not in the case of Nigeria. However, organizational and marketing…
