Summary


Africa is commonly perceived as a global growth region
and a continent on the move, with a huge demand for managerial skills to ensure
sustainable economic growth. In order to gain a comprehensive understanding of
the challenges to management education development in Africa, it is important
to understand the diverse cultures, histories and contexts underlying the 54
member states. With this is mind, this book explores the future of management
education, considering the differing scenarios for change and the practical
realities of developing management education in VUCA (volatile, uncertain,
complex and ambiguous) environments.


This is the second of two volumes, written with
strong support from the EFMD (European Foundation for Management Development)
and the GMAC (Graduate Management Admission Council), aimed at understanding
and examining the challenges of developing management education across Africa. The
authors, through a fine-tuned, face-to-face interview process, explore the
perspectives and interactions between management educators and other business
and government stakeholders as they look to the future of management education
in Africa.
