Abstract: | This paper investigates the benefits of Chinese companies to the Ugandan economy using data gathered during fieldwork conducted in Kampala in July 2012. Potential contributions to the Ugandan economy are analysed through a number of economic and managerial factors, and their determinants. This paper shows that potential benefits vary on the basis of sector, investment size and ECCO (Economic and Commercial Counselor's Office) registration. The potential harm caused by one sector in particular is indicated. The paper presents recommendations regarding how potential benefits can be maximised and harm reduced. Given the increased presence of Chinese enterprises in Africa, these findings are relevant to African policymakers and academics. Notes, ref., sum. [Journal abstract] |
