Aim and Scope

Aims and Scope

The primary aim of DBA-AMR is to advance rigorous, evidence-based management scholarship that addresses the practical realities and strategic challenges facing organisations operating in Africa and other emerging-market contexts, while remaining relevant to the global body of management knowledge. The journal seeks to:

• Provide a credible outlet for original, high-quality research that contributes to theory, policy and practice in business and management.
• Strengthen the link between academic research and managerial practice across public, private and non-profit sectors in Africa.
• Promote research capacity building among doctoral scholars, early-career researchers and practitioners.
• Foster scholarly dialogue and collaboration between African researchers and the international management research community.

DBA-AMR welcomes empirical, conceptual, theoretical and case-based contributions across the following thematic areas:

• Strategic Management
• Insurance and Risk Management
• Marketing Management
• International Business
• Supply Chain Management
• Financial Management
• Human Resource Management
• Production and Operations Management
• Procurement Management
• Entrepreneurship and Small Business Management
• Public Management and Governance

Submissions that fall outside these areas but make a clear contribution to business and management scholarship in Africa may also be considered at the Editor-in-Chief's discretion.
