In a rapidly evolving educational landscape, Africa offers a vibrant and diverse context for rethinking how management is taught, learned, and practiced. The Africa Academy of Management (AFAM) invites members of the Management Education & Development (MED) Division to engage with a continent whose educational innovation, institutional diversity, and cultural richness inspire new ways to research, educate, and lead.
AFAM's mission is to advance rigorous, relevant, and high‑impact management scholarship rooted in African realities while connecting scholars and practitioners worldwide. This aligns seamlessly with MED's purpose to research, educate, and inspire - amplifying scholarship in management education and fostering excellence in teaching and learning.
Why MED scholars and educators will find African contexts - and AFAM's community - uniquely valuable
- Rich educational ecosystems across universities, business schools, and professional institutes that challenge and expand global pedagogical models.
- Innovative teaching practices emerging from resource‑constrained environments, digital transformation, and community‑based learning.
- Opportunities for comparative research on management education across cultures, languages, and institutional systems.
- Collaborative pathways for developing evidence‑based teaching strategies and disseminating research that reaches educators and learners worldwide.
- A global network connecting African educators with international peers to co‑create curricula, mentorship programs, and learning innovations.
- A shared commitment to bridging theory and practice - ensuring management education remains relevant, inclusive, and impactful.
AFAM complements MED's vision by fostering a community where educators, researchers, and practitioners collaborate to shape the future of management learning with both purpose and integrity.
If your work seeks to understand or transform how management is taught and learned across borders, AFAM offers a dynamic platform for collaboration, innovation, and inspiration.
