The research reported in the book is insightful, highly academic with applied relevance to Africa's aspiration to develop its socio-economic dimensions. This will be work unrepresented before in the leather sector to prepare Africa to become a global player as the Industry is transforming slowly from Asia (e.g. China) to Africa. -- Dobre Jovanoski, Professor The issues raised in this book are commendable, current, relevant, and insightful to the leather sector at both the regional and global level which is of its own dynamism. While relocating to the countries where raw material exists, it is essential to reveal the potential of Africa. Of interest is the resolution to what Africa is facing in translating its commodity dependence into product development to create wealth, employment, and productivity. -- Bahri Basaran, EGE University Engineering Faculty, Professor I find the book enriched with valuable information towards the leather sector and will go a long way benefitting scholarly requirements of the leather sector globally and regionally. I attest to the depth and scope of coverage and the fundamental significance the new knowledge will contribute in the areas of value creation and opportunity management in addressing critical aspects of competitiveness and productivity of the SME's in the leather industry. -- Dr. A Gnanamani, Principal Scientist, CSIR Central Leather Research Institute This well articulated book by Professor Dr. Mwinyihija carries the imprint of his extensive and intensive exposure to and experience in R&D and management w.r.t. leather sector in African countries, in particular COMESA Region. This book is a must (read) by the various stakeholders of the leather and leather product industries, not only from Africa but also from other overseas countries, as leather and allied products are significant international trading commodities. The value creation, value addition, value chain and opportunity management in leather sector with particular reference to African context are assessed objectively and an innovative triple helix concept intertwining private, public, and academic segments of the society emerges from the critique of the prevailing scenario. -- Sayeed Sadulla, Director Grade Scientist, Central Leather Research Institute
