  • 1.  🌍 Rethinking Communication, Technology, and Organizations Through African Perspectives

    Posted 05-10-2026 10:29

    As digital technologies reshape communication, collaboration, and organizational life across the world, Africa stands out as one of the most dynamic and innovative management laboratories of our time. The Africa Academy of Management (AFAM) brings together scholars who believe that Africa is not only a context of study - it is a source of new theory, digital innovation, and organizational insight.

    For CTO scholars, Africa offers:

    • Rich empirical settings for studying digital adoption, communication networks, and socio‑technical change.
    • Novel organizational forms emerging from mobile-first economies, platform ecosystems, and digitally enabled public services.
    • Opportunities for comparative, cross‑cultural, and practice‑oriented research on communication, information systems, and organizational transformation.
    • A vibrant scholarly community connecting Africa-based researchers with global colleagues working on technology, communication, and organizational design.

    AFAM's mission is to advance rigorous and relevant management scholarship rooted in African realities while building global connections and empowering the next generation of researchers.

    If you are passionate about understanding how communication and technology shape organizations - and how organizations shape society - AFAM is a natural intellectual home.
