Africa
The Future of Management Education
Synopsis
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.

What Reviewers Are Saying
The authors continue their treatment of management education in Africa drawing on the testimony of educators, business leaders, government officials, and students. In so far as possible, they say, they interpret the stories, concerns, and viewpoints from an African rather than European perspective. They cover the past is not the future; the environment of Africa: managing VUCA (volatile, uncertain, complex, and ambiguous) environments; the future evolution of management education in Africa; scenarios of the future of management education in Africa; strategic change and management education: barriers to change and likely change horizons; and blind spots and other areas deserving attention. -- Annotation (c)2017 Ringgold Inc. * (protoview.com) *
