About the Journal

The DBA Africa Management Review is a quarterly publication of the University of Nairobi, (Nairobi, Kenya) in the Department of Business Administration under the Faculty of Business and Management Sciences. We invite scholarly articles that are thought provoking yet interesting, and whose target audience is broad and covers practitioners, scholars and policy makers.

Our focus is Africa. Africa’s dynamic economies, institutions, and communities offer rich, underexplored contexts for impactful scholarship. By centring African perspectives, scholars can generate globally significant insights, shape sustainable development, and influence decision-making across sectors. We encourage authors to develop rigorous, relevant manuscripts grounded in African realities across business practices and scholarship. In particular, we encourage research that draws on local data, indigenous practices, policy challenges, and commercial ingenuity to advance theory while informing practice.
