Management Research in Africa: What has Been Done and Perspectives
This paper aims to make a roundup of management researches in African context. From the set of recent publications (2014–2018) on the theme, we make a meta-analysis that leads to three main tendencies: the higher interest accorded to finance, Human management resources and marketing problematics; the wide proportion of confirmative studies in a context where available theories don’t describe organizational realities and the unequal volume of publications from one country to another. That situation is calling for a rethinking of some methodological aspects of research in view to access a management practices observed in the continent.
