Matatu Entrepreneurs: a Study on Investors in Kenya's Informal Transport Business Deborah Kioy

Entrepreneurship involves turning an opportunity into a product. It has challenges and risks but an entrepreneur employs strategies to transform what looks difficult into a solution. This book examines how an enterprising group has over the years negotiated factors that favour and limit entry, growth and performance in an informal public transport business, known as matatu transport, in Nairobi, Kenya. This transport service is now essential in the movement of people, goods, services and ideas in Nairobi and other parts of Kenya.
