Foreword
The important role micro-, small- and medium-sized enterprises (MSMEs) play across the world cannot be overstated. MSMEs represent the ‘engine’ of economic growth, especially in developing and emerging countries. This book deals comprehensively and clearly with entrepreneurial finance and represents a timely and excellent contribution to our understanding and knowledge of this sector from a managerial perspective. MSMEs are the drivers of entrepreneurship and innovation, and finance lies at the heart of the success or failure of these firms! Professor Abor must be congratulated on providing such a clear and detailed treatment of this subject. The book is written with exceptional clarity and insight. The 15 chapters deal with the complexity of managerial finance relating to MSMEs in a way that makes the material accessible to a wide readership. The book is essential reading for all concerned with the sector—both those from within the sector itself and others, including analysts, academics, consultants and policy-makers. As more
