Way of the Junglepreneur

DAVID O. FASANYA offers a fresh perspective on navigating through tough business ecosystems and terrains as dense as tropical jungles. This daring international businessperson’s counterintuitive viewpoint, describes a way of looking at business ecosystems from the perspective of junglelike terrains, each with its own obstacles and opportunities. Within each challenging terrain are principal actors at the top of the food chain, who can thrive and survive in this business ecosystem using a new law of survival. This comprehensive book captures the unwritten rules of business survival from the perspective of the person at the top of the food chain—the Junglepreneur—who is distinct as a businessperson based on formation process, capacity, and location.

It is also filled with actionable detail, a conscience for excellence, and innovative frameworks including the Junglepreneurship CORE and Junglepreneur MINEKIT, among others.
