Abstract

"Evidence shows that the internet is a big equaliser amongst nations. Where people have access to digital technology, lives and livelihoods are sure to improve. There is no doubt in my mind that digital technology remains one of the most powerful keys to unlock Africa's immense potential. This well-timed book shines a much-needed spotlight on what Africa needs to do to take advantage of the possibilities that come with digital technology." -Alistair Mokoena, Country Director: Google South Africa This pioneering book explores how African businesses and organisations leverage social media, digital tools, and platforms to design and deliver products and services that meet market needs, create value, and enhance customer engagement. The book addresses three interrelated topics. First, it offers stimulating discussions on social media as Africa's digital marketplace, the socio-cultural and ethical aspects of social media marketing, the benefits and challenges of social media marketing, and the influence of Facebook usage. Second, it covers issues related to emerging technologies with a focus on digital financial inclusion, fintech, big data in marketing, cryptocurrency, and blockchain. Finally, it provides recommendations on how organisations in Africa can enhance their use of digital tools and platforms to drive efficiency and attain superior performance. The authors of this book share their vast and varied experience for the benefit of researchers, practitioners, entrepreneurs, CEOs, and students who are seeking to understand and exploit opportunities in Africa's digital marketplace. This book is a must-read on digital business in an emerging and dynamic continent - Africa.

Abstract

The dynamics of the world's pervasive digital technologies is transforming organisations and enabling enterprises to create sustainable competitive advantage. This presents huge economic opportunities for Africa. This book responds to the need for African enterprises and organisations-particularly those in the service sector-to fully exploit the inherent potential in digital platforms by putting in place processes to respond effectively to changing consumer demands. Digital service delivery is conceptualised as a key driver of effective management and service delivery across the value chain of businesses. The authors offer insights into the opportunities, drivers, structures, and models of digital service delivery specific to the African context, using case studies and country-based themes that highlight how the adoption of digital platforms and practices can transform service delivery for value-creation. The book examines the scope and applications of digital businesses, emphasising the emergence, value-creation, and strategic implications for Africa's private and public enterprises. Students, entrepreneurs, IT innovators, academics, and policymakers will gain a greater understanding of how digitalisation is shaping consumer expectations, industry practices, and service delivery in Africa.
