*CFP* "DIGITAL INNOVATIONS, BUSINESS AND SOCIETY IN AFRICA", BOOK CHAPTERS

Can you name at least five popular African digital innovations, digital enterprises, digital entrepreneurs or digital platforms? Barely not many can answer this question, even with some thought. So why can’t many answer the question. The simple answer is that we don’t have a comprehensive reference telling Africa’s story in the digital economy or its response to new and emerging technologies. Apart from the success of mobile money, especially in East Africa, where are the other success stories? How do we replicate such success stories without knowing them?

For African enterprises, entrepreneurs and governments to take full advantage of new digital opportunities, we need a shared strategic understanding of what where we are, what we have and what we may need to have for the future. This book presents this shared strategic vision to guide future coordinated actions of African enterprises, entrepreneurs, consumers/citizens and governments in using new and emerging digital technologies.

The book seeks to showcase how consumers/citizens, entrepreneurs, organisations, institutions and governments are leveraging new and emerging digital innovations to disrupt and transform value creation and service delivery in Africa. The contributions in this book will help create a shared strategic understanding of what works in Africa and how Africa and other interested stakeholders can take advantage of its success stories.
