Transforming Organizations in the Digital Era: Dignity, Justice, and Prosperity in Africa
An increasingly complex world characterized by intractable problems with implications for quality of life and ecological sustainability have been labelled societal grand challenges. In an African context, these challenges include eradication of poverty, digital transformation, ecological sustainability, entrepreneurial initiatives, and health promotion among others. The ill-defined nature of these grand challenges not only require interdisciplinary collaborations but also a mix of methodological approaches to understand these challenges. The theme of the AFAM 2026 Biennial conference ‘The Art of Collaboration: Addressing Grand Challenges in Africa Through Research, Education, Practice and Policy Making’ provides a platform for multiple stakeholders to engage in robust discussions across disciplinary boundaries, reflect oncontextualized pedagogical approaches to teaching and learning, and wrestle with how to bridge the academic-practitioner divide to contextualize solutions to Africa’s grand challenges. Reflecting the broader call for relevance in management research, the theme of the conference puts the spotlight on understanding and theorizing management-related phenomena in African contexts to advance global management theory as well as develop contextualized solutions to some of these challenges.
We encourage the submission of empirical and conceptual papers that broadly align with the theme of the conference and address context-specific issues, including but not limited to:
- Inclusive Business Models for Sustainable Development in Africa
- Entrepreneurship and Youth Empowerment: Building Africa’s Future Workforce
- Leadership Philosophies and Indigenous Management Practices
- Digital Innovations and Technology Adoption in African Markets
- Policy Frameworks for Enhancing Regional Trade and Economic Integration
- Climate Resilience and Green Business Practices in African Enterprises
- Ethical Business Practices: Combating Corruption and Strengthening Transparency
- Business Education and Skill Development for Future Industries
- Informal Economies and Their Role in Urban and Rural Development
- Gender Equality and the Empowerment of Women Entrepreneurs
- Religion and spirituality in African organizations
- Transforming Healthcare Systems Through Innovation and Collaboration
- Financing Innovation and Addressing Capital Constraints in African Start-ups
- Navigating for Natural Resources and Geopolitics in African Business
- Decolonization and the African University
- Context Specific Methodologies for Africa
How do African organizations conceptualize their environments and the competitive forces that define these environments?
- What strategies are adopted by African organizations to respond to these competitive forces and what are the drivers of these strategies?
- What interorganizational alliances are being forged by African organizations to promote the development of innovative products and services?
- What are the forms of digitalization adopted by African organizations and how are they changing the nature of work organizations?
- Have African organizations embraced corporate entrepreneurship and what are the successful factors?
- What are private-public sector strategies to enhance the competitiveness of African organizations?
- What roles are governments playing in the regulation of employment conditions to minimize the tendency of organizations to reproduce inequalities through their employment practices?
- What new forms of work organizations (e.g cooperatives) have been formed to promote productive activities in rural communities? How are they operated and what are drivers of their effectiveness?
- What role do labor organizations play in protecting the rights of employees as well as their sustainable management?
- What employment practices and work contexts have emerged in African organizations to promote dignity and justice for employees?
- What are the drivers and forms of digitilization in the public sector and how are they impacting on operational effectiveness?

About The Host Institution:
Established in 1964, Stellenbosch Business School was the first business school from an African university to receive the prestigious Triple Crown of international accreditations, reserved for the top 1% of business schools worldwide. The school focuses on post-graduate education with programmes including PG-Dip, specialist masters, MBA, and PhD. Short courses are provided by an executive development arm of the school. Many programmes include a responsible leadership dimension as part of the school’s commitment to developing responsible leaders for a better world -- a key differentiator of the school’s programmes, research, and social impact activities. There are six research Centres at the school with expertise in Development Finance, Governance, Women and Work, Futures & Foresight, Conflict & Collaboration, and Responsible Leadership. The school also has strong pedigree in entrepreneurship hosting the Global Entrepreneurship Monitor for South Africa and its own Small Business Academy for entrepreneurs in informal settlements across three provinces of the country. Stellenbosch Business School is a member of PRME and a number of alliances of leading business schools including the Council on Business & Society, the EMBA Consortium, and the Global Innovation Challenge.

AFAM Conference Guidelines for Presentations
Full papers have been allocated 90 minute sessions and presenters should share the time and leave room for discussion. It is intended that presenters and the chair/discussant for each session will have read each other's papers in advance and should arrange to send the papers to each other.
Full paper presentations will be made using a laptop and data projector. You will be asked to bring your presentation to the event on a memory stick, for use on the day, along with sufficient copies of a slide handout for your audience.
The structure of the Professional Development Workshop (PDW) sessions will be as agreed upon by the Track and Conference Chairs for 90mins. PDW sessions are designed to be interactive. It is advisable that all PDW sessions should stick to the times allocated so that they do not run into scheduled sessions.
Presenters can also submit Symposium Proposals. A symposium proposal should include an overview of the session and a summary of the presentations for each presenter. The proposal can also include a discussant. Symposium sessions will be 90 minutes.
Poster presenters can begin setting up 30 minutes before the start of their scheduled posters session. Staff members will be available during set-up to provide authors with materials for mounting data and illustrations. All posters must remain on display for the duration of the poster session.
Posters must be attended by the author/s for the first 40mins of the poster session, at minimum.
Once your poster session concludes you can begin to remove your poster. Tear-down must be completed no later than 30 minutes after the poster session has ended. Posters left up after the tear-down period will be removed for disposal. AFAM is not responsible for any lost or damaged posters.
You must provide an abstract of your paper and illustrations in a size and format suitable for poster display. It is also suggested that you prepare brief statements of the purpose of your work, your experimental methodology and design, and the major results of your findings and their implications.
Abstracts and illustrations must be readable from distances of 3 ft. or more. Text should be printed from a laser printer, in a font size large enough to read from that distance. Keep illustrations simple. Limited use of color, however, can add emphasis. Any photograph should be a minimum of 8 in. x 10 in. Minimum size for all other illustrations is 9 in. x 12 in.
The rooms allocated for Full Papers and Professional Development Workshops Presentations will have a laptop, data projector and screen available. Please note: delegates will need to bring their presentation on a USB data stick and arrive early to upload their presentation onto the laptop. This is to ensure presentations are uploaded successfully and to allow enough time for any technical difficulties that may arise. Delegates can also bring any materials they wish to distribute to other delegates during their presentation. AFAM suggests bringing 20 copies for distribution.
Please see below the session timings allocated for every delegate’s presentation
| Full Papers | 25 minutes allocated for Presentation and Discussion |
| Panel sessions | 90 minutes allocated |
| Workshops | 90 minutes allocated |
| Poster Presentation | 45 minutes allocated |
Please see below the session timings allocated for every delegate’s presentation.

Cape Town 2024 - Conference Program
Second Draft of the AFAM 2024 Conference Program
Many thanks to colleagues who flagged omissions and inaccuracies in the first draft of the program. Although we did our level best to rectify them, we may have inadvertently left some unaddressed. We therefore encourage you to take a close look at the second draft and let us know of any such omissions and inaccuracies at your earliest convenience.
We aim to post a finalized version of the program by mid-December. Papers whose authors have not registered by then would be excluded from the program. For multi-authored papers, at least one of the authors must register to have their papers included in the program.
Again, many thanks to the authors, reviewers, track chairs, and members of the conference organizing team for their contributions to putting the program together.
We look forward to seeing you in Cape Town and to your participation in what promises to be a stimulating conference.
