This volume contains 10 contributions by business, accounting, entrepreneurship, and other researchers from the UK, Africa, New Zealand, and China, who discuss the African context of business and society. They examine the role of religion as a driver of employees' trust in CEOs; the definition of authentic leadership; managing service productivity in banks in Nigeria; the effects of managerial training on organizational resilience in Ghana; how cultural factors associated with women in polygamous families impact their entrepreneurial behaviors in family businesses, particularly higher education institutions in Nigeria; high-power distance culture in Nigeria and how it undermines the accountability of corporate executives; sustainability reporting in mining companies in Ghana; the influence of trust and indigenous social norms on entrepreneurship in Nigeria; and challenges faced by entrepreneurs in Nigeria in the retail pharmacy sector.

The New Frontiers in African Business and Society series provides innovative reflections on the nature of business and society across parts of Africa and its emerging economy. Distinguished scholars formulate important answers to the problems within the continent, discovering new avenues of research and pathways forward.
The African Context of Business and Society traces the unique and often overlooked and unestimated contours of African business and society, abandoning the flawed assumption that western preconceptions can be directly transplanted one that has often led to incorrect macro-theorisations.
Africas diverse economy has been influenced by historical and cultural change, and The African Context of Business and Societys novel indigenous viewpoints address topics such as female entrepreneurship, organizational culture, the role of religion on employee trust, authentic leadership and more. Understanding individual and organisational behaviour, the chapters examine the under-researched aspects of Africas business and society and both opportunities and constraints.
