The scope of the study reported in this book entails understanding the constraints and providing potential diagnostics to Africas leather sector, which is otherwise globally, one of the most lucrative agro-based industries in the world, estimated at over US$ 130Billion. One of the principle core thematic aspects of the leather sector is, characteristically, its long value chain with multiple socio-economic dimensions. These entail employability, creation of wealth, gender parity and rural development. Thusly, in an effort to stimulate scholarly discussion, the study argues that preemptively, the problems facing the leather value chain stratums are high losses, low value addition initiatives and unexplored opportunities that are synonymous with the Africas leather industry. Indeed, the results of the research conceptualized opportunity management as a critical panacea towards value addition strategy for the leather sector in developing countries. In dealing with this concept, the book evaluated the various value chains phases and identified nine specific issues and variables drawn between value addition and the main leather strata. With this background, the study posed a main question and four sub questions to closely expound on related hypotheses and in lieu pursue four thematic aspects: trade, productivity, competitiveness, and innovation covered in twelve chapters of the book. Conclusively, the book manages to successfully conceptualize as a novelty that opportunity management is integral towards developing a leather value addition strategy for the developing countries with particular emphasis to Africa.

Arvustused

The research reported in the book is insightful, highly academic with applied relevance to Africa's aspiration to develop its socio-economic dimensions. This will be work unrepresented before in the leather sector to prepare Africa to become a global player as the Industry is transforming slowly from Asia (e.g. China) to Africa. -- Dobre Jovanoski, Professor The issues raised in this book are commendable, current, relevant, and insightful to the leather sector at both the regional and global level which is of its own dynamism. While relocating to the countries where raw material exists, it is essential to reveal the potential of Africa. Of interest is the resolution to what Africa is facing in translating its commodity dependence into product development to create wealth, employment, and productivity. -- Bahri Basaran, EGE University Engineering Faculty, Professor I find the book enriched with valuable information towards the leather sector and will go a long way benefitting scholarly requirements of the leather sector globally and regionally. I attest to the depth and scope of coverage and the fundamental significance the new knowledge will contribute in the areas of value creation and opportunity management in addressing critical aspects of competitiveness and productivity of the SMEs in the leather industry. -- Dr. A Gnanamani, Principal Scientist, CSIR Central Leather Research Institute This well articulated book by Professor Dr. Mwinyihija carries the imprint of his extensive and intensive exposure to and experience in R&D and management w.r.t. leather sector in African countries, in particular COMESA Region. This book is a must (read) by the various stakeholders of the leather and leather product industries, not only from Africa but also from other overseas countries, as leather and allied products are significant international trading commodities. The value creation, value addition, value chain and opportunity management in leather sector with particular reference to African context are assessed objectively and an innovative triple helix concept intertwining private, public, and academic segments of the society emerges from the critique of the prevailing scenario. -- Sayeed Sadulla, Director Grade Scientist, Central Leather Research Institute
