Contributions of Africa to management and organization science
ABSTRACT Given the increasing globalization of management and organization science (MOS), it has been suggested that scholarly communities examine the contributions of their contexts to the discipline. Accordingly, the contributions from Africa to MOS across the pre-modern, modern, and post-modern eras are examined using generative theory. Evidence from historical, philosophical, anthropological, and sociological sources demonstrates that significant contributions to MOS have originated from Africa. Even so, those contributions have not been acknowledged, especially in the post-modern era, due to the “writing out” of Africa. Several implications for research and pedagogy concerning MOS and Africa are considered given the current trend of decolonization.
期刊介绍:
The beginning of the Twenty First Century has witnessed Africa’s rise and progress as one of the fastest growing and most promising regions of the world. At the same time, serious challenges remain. To sustain and speed up momentum, avoid reversal, and deal effectively with emerging challenges and opportunities, Africa needs better management scholarship, education and practice. The purpose of the Africa Journal of Management (AJOM) is to advance management theory, research, education, practice and service in Africa by promoting the production and dissemination of high quality and relevant manuscripts. AJOM is committed to publishing original, rigorous, scholarly empirical and theoretical research papers, which demonstrate clear understanding of the management literature and draw on Africa’s local indigenous knowledge, wisdom and current realities. As the first scholarly journal of the Africa Academy of Management (AFAM), AJOM gives voice to all those who are committed to advancing management scholarship, education and practice in or about Africa, for the benefit of all of Africa. AJOM welcomes manuscripts that develop, test, replicate or validate management theories, tools and methods with Africa as the starting point. The journal is open to a wide range of quality, evidence-based methodological approaches and methods that “link” “Western” management theories with Africa’s indigenous knowledge systems, methods and practice. We are particularly interested in manuscripts which address Africa’s most important development needs, challenges and opportunities as well as the big management questions of the day. We are interested in research papers which address issues of ethical conduct in different African settings.
