LMSSSA2006 will provide an opportunity to hear and
present academic work that can build and inform good
management practice in Sub-Sahara Africa. Emphasis
will be upon indigenous African approaches,
dissemination of best practice information, and
discussions of the values and pitfalls of emulating
Western practice.
The conference will offer round table discussions on
management education and training, focusing on some of
the issues of cultural differences and indigenous
African resources. Key-note speakers from industry and
academia will showcase current problems, successes,
and competitive papers as a stimulus to further
research.
The conference will provide opportunities for
developing less experienced academics in groups and
networks.
Selected papers from the proceedings will be published
as an edited book. Proceedings will be published via a
CD with an ISSN.
We encourage contributors to submit conceptual
approaches and empirical findings around topics
concerning African organizations. This includes
leadership, management, and allied areas such as
marketing, operations, organizational behavior, and
human resources. In addition to competitive papers,
some presentations will be by invited speakers. You
are invited to immediately submit a two page proposal
for a round-table discussion, workshop, or symposium.
All topics must broadly relate to management and/or
leadership in Sub-Sahara Africa.
