Uneven paths of development

by Oyebanji Oyelaran-Oyeyinka

The aim of this book is not to demonstrate how African countries could or should acquire capability development in information hardware (IH) manufacturing and design. The overarching objective is to understand the underlying dynamics of the convergence of institutional, technological and policy factors that shape a latecomer country's attempt to learn from the forerunners to generate economic wealth in a globally competitive sector.
