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

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.
