dc.description.abstract | As businesses from emerging economies become more globalised, expectations
are raised about their role as responsible corporate citizens and development
actors when operating in low-income countries. While businesses from the
global North have been the usual targets for praise or criticism with regards
to their contributions (or lack thereof) to African development, little is known
about the development contribution of firms from the BRICS (Brazil, Russia,
India, China and South Africa). It is important to explore a variety of activities
of these firms in Africa, which they consider to be developmental, and the
justification behind them. In this context, there is a need to ask and understand
how these firms view their own role as development partners for Africa. | en |
