Many African business schools have been adopting research models that are popular in the United States and Europe. Demonstrating success with such models has many benefits, including increasing legitimacy (e.g., international accreditation) and reputation/rankings. But is it a good fit? Are there trade offs, especially when it comes to relevance and impact? This session will explore this question and offer insights to scholars and leaders of business schools for navigating the complex and changing research environment in Africa.
