Abstract
This chapter provides an empirically grounded assessment of Huawei’s contribution to the Ghana’s ICT (Information and Communication Technology) infrastructure and evaluates the performance of the Huawei brand on Ghana’s mobile phone market. Analysis of our field data suggests that, by far, Huawei is the largest foreign IT company with significant investments in Ghana’s total IT infrastructure managing and controlling the nation’s central datacenter. Within the mobile telephone market, Huawei phones are considered to be of high quality with its unique performance features. On the other hand, customers and potential customers of Huawei mobile phones consider its prices comparatively higher. Relevant stakeholders tend to deny fears of any negative consequences of the recent US sanctions against Huawei as far as the latter’s operations in Ghana is concerned.
