Recenzii

When I read a book, I look for information which can educate, inspire, inform and persuade me. This book has certainly done that and more. . . . It is well-written and well-researched and it belongs on the college library and personal shelves. It alsobelongs on the desk of a corporate executive who is involved in international business ventures and aspirations.
Nothing has been more timely to Africa's economic emancipation than the bunch of constructive ideas propounded by Dr. Ngwainmbi.
. . . the overall analysis of the African situation in relation to communication technology is of high quality.
Because its focus is a new research area, that of communication technology and development, and because the author himself comes from the targeted continent of this analysis, the book needs to be read by scholars and business-persons, as well as by neophytes.
