Abstract

Preface East Africa Research Papers in Business, Entrepreneurship and Management is a series linked to the collaborative PhD program in Economics and Management among East Africa national universities. The program was initiated and is coordinated by the Jönköping International Business School (JIBS) at Jönköping University, Sweden, with the objective of increasing local capacity in teaching, supervision, research and management of PhD programs at the participating universities. The program is financed by the Swedish International Development Cooperation Agency (SIDA). East Africa Research Papers is intended to serve as an outlet for publishing theoretical, methodological and applied research covering various aspects of the East African economies, especially those related to regional economic integration, national and regional economic development and openness, movement of goods, capital and labor, as well as studies on industry, agriculture, services sector and governance and institutions. In particular, submission of studies analyzing state-of-the-art research in areas of labor, technology, education, health, well-being, transport, energy, resources extraction, population and its movements, tourism, as well as development infrastructure and related issues and discussion of their implications and possible alternative policies are welcome. The objective is to increase research capacity and quality, to promote research and collaboration in research, to share gained insights into important policy issues and to acquire a balanced viewpoint of business, entrepreneurship and management policymaking which enables us to identify the economic problems accurately and to come up with optimal and effective guidelines for decision makers. Another important aim of the series is to facilitate communication with development cooperation agencies, external research institutes, individual researchers and policymakers in the East Africa region.
