ABSTRACT

The great prospects of Africa as a macro-region have become commonplace in both academic and mainstream discourse. In the next 50-60 years, it will see increased participation in the life of the global community due to its unprecedented resource potential, and, with a high degree of probability, the strengthening of its international legal capacity. The contours of the continent's economic development are somewhat less obvious. In retrospect, it is often understood as a side effect of a series of coups and conflicts, or as the consequences of the activities of international organizations and TNCs, which supposedly saved the continent's states from poverty, hunger and backwardness. Meanwhile, in the post-colonial period, opportunities opened up for the development of large state-owned companies, and then local private entrepreneurship. Some African companies emerged with the support of foreign capital, including former metropolises; others were entirely national in origin. But they had one thing in common: all their founders were absolute passionaries. The task facing the new African entrepreneur seemed almost impossible: to build a company in the absence of a developed regulatory framework, to protect it from both domestic political storms and abrupt changes in the macroeconomic situation that shook the continent every time; finally, to modernize it so that each new sharp turn of history would be as safe as possible for it and would motivate it to grow and develop in accordance with the demands of the times. Experimenting with different types of internal organization, approaches to integration into national, regional and international value chains, by the end of the 2010s, However, in recent decades, the so-called "African lions" - Nigeria, Kenya, Algeria, Ghana and other rapidly growing countries - have increasingly become new springboards for local entrepreneurs.
