Introducing the Africa Journal of Management (AJOM)
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 indigenous knowledge, wisdom and current realities. As the first journal of the Africa Academy of Management (AFAM; www.africa.aom.org), AJOM gives voice to all those who are committed to advancing management scholarship, education, and practice in and about Africa, for the benefit of all of Africa. In addition to full scale research manuscripts, we have created the AJOM Dialogue: a platform to discuss and share ideas, views and experiences related to management in Africa. These are shorter thoughtful pieces that address important issues, raise interesting research questions, propose alternatives and question established wisdom and practice.
Submissions
AJOM welcomes manuscripts that develop, test, replicate or validate management theories, tools and methods with Africa as the starting point.
