dc.description.abstractThere has been substantial scholarly interest in culture as an institution that affects human life, including entrepreneurship (George and Zahra 2002; Hayton, George, and Zahra 2002). Most of this research, however, focuses on Western and Eastern countries, with limited research on the relationship between culture and entrepreneurship in Africa. For instance, a search of business and management literature on 23 May 2016 using the key terms “culture” and “entrepreneurship” in the isi Web of Science database yielded 654 articles, of which, only ten focused directly on Africa. There remains ambivalence about the contribution of culture to entrepreneurship development in African countries. While, on the one hand, there are stories of successful entrepreneurial efforts, on the other hand, there are tales of failure attributed to cultural factors. Furthermore, the different strands of research on culture and entrepreneurship development in Africa remain scattered and have not been consolidated into an easily accessible resource. This chapter aims to fill this gap in knowledge by synthesising and discussing available evidence showing how the cultural factor facilitates and/or constrains entrepreneurship development in Uganda.en_US
