“Context” really does matter.

Africa is an increasingly important business context...yet we still know little about it. The problem is that little business and management research exists on Africa, whether considering quantity or quality.  

The Southern Africa (SoAfr) School of Project Management is unwavering in our commitment to produce and publish high-quality southern Africa management research in top-tier journals. 

Projects are especially important to the nations of southern Africa, and other developing countries, as projects are the predominate vehicles for social and economic change.  Existing literature about project management is growing, but is primarily based on approaches from other dominant regions underpinned by assumptions that may not be relevant to countries in the southern Africa region.  Undeniably, there is still a lack of Africa context-specific project management research.  More global knowledge on management in Africa must be generated and disseminated.  

There are so many stories to tell about our nations and our people. 

There is so much to discover and share with the rest of the world about project management in southern Africa.
