The published scholarly book titled Africa’s digital future: From theory to action, is the latest edition to our ever-expanding catalogue of open access academic books.

The book, edited by Wilma Viviers, Ali Parry and Susara (Adelia) J. Jansen van Rensburg, is the latest edition to the Economic and Management Sciences scholarly domain.

The main thrust of this book is to examine whether Africa is in a position to benefit from the digital age, given the continent’s many development challenges and slow adoption of digital technologies.
