ABSTRACT

It is a well-established practice of many Sub-Saharan African (SSA) governments to aid entrepreneurs within both the formal and informal sectors to enhance their performance and growth. Unfortunately, there is no agreed method by which governments can differentiate between entrepreneurs and target them with the appropriate promotion policies. Thus, despite the good intentions, entrepreneurship policy initiatives have been incorrectly targeted, poorly implemented, and without the desired results, since different entrepreneurs may require different forms of assistance. Some scholars have suggested that without a context-specific classificatory guide, policymakers are unlikely to be accurate in their assessment of the growth capabilities of prospective candidates for specific promotion initiatives and this can explain some of the policy failures. This observation has motivated the present paper. Our objective is to provide a framework that helps identify the different contextual dimensions influencing formal and informal enterprise creation processes in SSA.

非洲正式和非正式创业研究的综合框架

摘要

许多撒哈拉以南非洲地区 (SSA) 政府的既定做法是帮助正规和非正规部门的企业家提高绩效和增长。遗憾的是,各国政府尚无统一的方法来区分企业家并针对他们制定适当的促进政策。因此,尽管有良好的意愿,但创业政策举措的目标不正确,执行不力,并且没有达到预期的结果,因为不同的企业家可能需要不同形式的援助。一些学者认为,如果没有特定背景的分类指南,政策制定者不太可能准确评估特定晋升计划的潜在候选人的成长能力,这可以解释一些政策失败。这一观察激发了本文的灵感。我们的目标是提供一个框架,帮助识别影响 SSA 中正式和非正式企业创建过程的不同上下文维度。
