Aims & Scope

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.

Manuscripts should include data or viewpoints from more than one country or at the very least demonstrate relevancy for the wider African context. Of particular interest are manuscripts which focus on Africa’s productive enterprises, including locally owned businesses, the informal sector, start-ups, scale-ups, state owned enterprises, foreign (e.g. multinational corporations) businesses, non-government organizations, or combinations thereof (e.g. public-private partnerships, international joint ventures, intergovernmental agencies), organizational and human capital development, and current development management topics. AJOM is not only about geography, but also shared experiences and common heritage: we seek contributions globally.

AJOM operates an international double anonymized peer-review process and publishes four times a year both in print and online. The journal also publishes research notes, book reviews and insights, and comments and debates from readers on published papers or important management questions of the day. It serves as a medium for recognizing excellence and exceptional service for advancing management scholarship, widely defined, and education and practice in Africa and between Africa and the rest of the world.
