  • DBA Africa Management Review
    Vol. 16 No. 3 (2026)

    Editor’s Note

    As DBA Africa Management Review advances into 2026 and beyond, we remain committed to strengthening Africa-centred management scholarship that connects rigorous research with the continent’s evolving institutional, economic and organisational realities. We reaffirm our commitment to positioning the journal as a leading platform for Africa-centred, evidence-based management scholarship, which connects theory, practice and policy. Our focus is increasingly on scholarship that interrogates how African organisations, governments and markets can enhance performance, innovation, sustainability, resilience and competitiveness in a rapidly changing environment.

    Volume 16 Issues 3 contributes to that agenda through studies that examine the importance of effective leadership, accountable governance, institutional capacity and responsive market practices in advancing development outcomes across Africa. The articles also demonstrate the value of contextualised African evidence in informing both scholarship and practice. As we look ahead, we invite researchers to continue generating intellectually rigorous and practically relevant knowledge that not only explains Africa’s management challenges, but also contributes to shaping solutions for Africa’s future.

    The DBA Africa Management Review is a quarterly publication of University of Nairobi, Faculty of Business and Management Sciences, Nairobi, Kenya. It is a business and management journal published under ISSN-2224-2023 as an Open Acess (OA) Journal published in English and reviewed through a double blinded/peer reviewed process. We invite scholarly articles that are thought provoking yet interesting articles whose target audience covers practitioners, scholars and policy makers in the following thematic areas:
    · Strategic Management
    · Human resource Management
    · Insurance and risk management
    · Marketing Management
    · International Business
    · Entrepreneurship, Innovations and Small Business
    · Supply Chain Management
    · Financial Management
    · Production and Operations Management
    · Public Management
    · Project Planning and Management

    We look forward to your submissions.

  • DBA Africa Management Review
    Vol. 16 No. 2 (2026)

    Editor's Note

    The articles published in our previous issue Vol. 16(1) strongly aligned with the journal’s stated mission of advancing Africa-centred, evidence-based scholarship that informs managerial practice, organizational transformation, and sustainable enterprise development. The issue successfully operationalized our emphasis on enterprise resilience, technological integration, strategic foresight, and adaptive leadership within dynamic African business environments. Collectively, the papers achieved the broader goals articulated by the journal through three major contributions. First, they addressed contemporary organizational challenges facing African enterprises and institutions. Second, they generated empirically grounded insights with direct managerial and policy relevance. Third, they reinforced the journal’s strategic positioning as a platform for rigorous African scholarship that bridges theory and practice across sectors including agriculture, insurance, public administration, and political communication.

    In our current DBA Africa Management Review Vol. 16(2), we similarly encourage scholarly work examining how firms, public institutions, NGOs, and SMEs are leveraging strategic leadership, digital transformation, entrepreneurship, governance systems, sustainability practices, and dynamic capabilities to remain competitive and socially relevant. Attention could also be directed toward contemporary challenges such as economic volatility, youth entrepreneurship, artificial intelligence in management, data-driven decision-making, ESG and sustainability imperatives, regional integration, and the future of work in Africa. In this issue, we also launch our inaugural Opinions and Policy brief as a separate section. Such a focus would not only sustain the intellectual continuity, but also deepen the journal’s contribution to management scholarship by foregrounding practical, policy-relevant, and context-sensitive research that addresses Africa’s evolving organizational realities.

    The DBA Africa Management Review is a business and management journal published under ISSN-2224-2023 as an Open Acess (OA) Journal published in English and reviewed through a double blinded/peer reviewedprocess. We encourage manuscripts in the following thematic areas:
    · Strategic Management

    DBA Africa Management Review
    Vol. 16 No. 1 (2026)

    Editor’s Note

    This issue covers the Quarter 1 of 2026. The publication of Volume 16 of the DBA Africa Management Review builds on the foundation established in Volume 15, which underscored the importance of research, innovation, and enterprise adaptability in enhancing organizational performance. Volume 16 highlights the importance of strengthening enterprise resilience, technological integration, and strategic foresight. 

    As African organizations navigate an increasingly complex and dynamic business environment, the need for strategic agility, innovation capability, and evidence-based management has become more critical than ever. The business landscape continues to be shaped by digital transformation, the growing adoption of emerging technologies, economic uncertainty, and evolving competitive pressures. These trends are redefining how organizations operate, compete, and create value. While digital technologies present significant opportunities for improving efficiency and expanding markets, they also demand new leadership capabilities, organizational readiness, and strategic alignment. For African enterprises, sustainable competitiveness will increasingly depend on their ability to leverage knowledge, innovation, and adaptive leadership to respond effectively to environmental changes. The DBA Africa Management Review remains committed to advancing context-relevant management scholarship that informs practice, supports enterprise transformation, and contributes to Africa’s sustainable economic and organizational development in a rapidly evolving global environment.

    The DBA Africa Management Review is a quarterly business and management journal of the Department of Business Administration of the Faculty of Business and Management Sciences of the University of Nairobi, Kenya. It is published under ISSN-2224-2023 as an Open Acess (OA) Journal published in English and reviewed through a double blinded/peer reviewed process.  We invite scholarly articles that are thought provoking yet interesting articles whose target audience covers practitioners, scholars and policy makers. Manuscripts will be accepted and published on a rolling basis. We encourage manuscripts in the following thematic areas:-
    · Strategic Management
    · Human resource Management
    · Insurance and risk management
    · Marketing Management

    · Entrepreneurship, Innovations and Small Business
    · Supply Chain Management

  • DBA Africa Management Review - Special Edition
    Vol. 15 No. 1 (2025)

    Editor’s Note

    This Special Issue (Volume 15 Issue No.1) is dedicated to the the 10th DBA-Africa Management Review Annual International Conference, 2025 which was held in hybrid format on the 22nd October 2025 as part of the University of Nairobi (UoN) Annual Research Week Conferences.

    This conference was made a reality through close collaboration with the DBA-AMR (Africa Management Review) Journal which is currently on its 15th Edition and year of publication. The Conference continues to be held under the banner of the University of Nairobi (UoN) Annual Conference Week. The Theme of this year’s 10th DBA Africa Management Review Annual International Conference was “Upscaling Research, Innovation, and Enterprise Development,” and reflected our commitment to advancing knowledge, fostering creativity, and supporting enterprise as a pathway to Africa’s sustainable development.

    This year the Conference attracted over 78 registered participants and a total of 28 oral conference papers were presented. This included four keynote speakers who presented on areas that were of contemporary interest. This Conference is a significant milestone because it provides a platform for us to showcase our research, share innovations, and engage in critical dialogue on how to translate ideas into meaningful impact. For our students and young scholars – who formed more than 76% of the Conference participants, it was also a moment to be inspired by seeing how academic work can transform societies, receive real-time feedback and open up new opportunities.

    The ultimate goal of the DBA-AMR Annual Conferences is provide a platform evidencing that research is no longer a luxury but rather, a powerful tool that cuts across all facets of life - be it in academia, government, corporates or the private sector. The 15th Special Issue of the DBA-AMR Journal,  as a way of expanding the reach of other scholars, practitioners and students that may have missed out in the conferences has provided a platform to share the “Conference Programme and Book of Astracts” for the papers that were presented. Subsequently, we look forward to publishing a limited number of outstanding papers that will meet the journal’s requirement in the near future.

  • DBA AFRICA MANAGEMENT REVIEW-SPECIAL EDITION
    Vol. 14 No. 2 (2024)

    Editor’s Note

    This Special Issue (Volume 14 Issue No.2) is dedicated to honouring the 9 th DBA-AMR
    (Africa Management Review) Annual International Conference, 2024 which was held
    virually on the 29 th October, 2024 as part of the University of Nairobi (UoN) Annual
    Research week Conference.

    This was been made a reality through close conjunction of DBA-AMR (Africa Management
    Review) journal which is currently on its 14th edition and year of publication. Progressively,
    the conference has moved from being a Department of Business Administration (DBA) from
    where it borrows it name, to a Faculty of Business and Management Science (formerly,
    School of Business) conference and now a University of Nairobi (UoN) conference.
    Although the Conference has previously been an “in-person” session, the last four years has
    witnessed us holding this conference on a virual platform.

    The ultimate goal of the DBA-AMR Annual conferences is provide a platform evidencing
    that research is no longer a luxury but rather, a powerful tool that cuts across all facets of life
    be it in academia, government, corporates or the private sector. The 14 th Issue of the
    DBAAMR Journal as a way of expanding the reach of other scholars, practitioners and
    students that may have missed out in the conferences has provided a platform to share the
    “Book of Astracts” which circulates around the conference theme “Harnessing Business
    Research for Resilience and Sustainability of Communities”. Subsequently, we look
    forward to publishing the outstanding papers that will meet the journals requirement in the
    near future.
