PRME Chapter Africa will be hosting a PRME World Tour Research Paper Development Workshop on Thursday, 23 May 2024. The focus of the workshop will be on responsible management research in Africa and by African scholars.
The objective of the PRME World Tour is to support early- and mid-career scholars in bringing
research to publication, as part of the field’s commitment to relevant and timely research
insights that advance responsible management and sustainable development around the
world. The PRME World Tour also has a more general ambition of supporting the professionalisation of the scholarly field of responsible management research, by increasing
the range of voices heard as authors and representing concerns too often marginalised or
excluded from the most prestigious journals.
Editors’ panel:
The initial part of the workshop begins with experienced editors discussing how to craft a
research question that not only adds substantial value to the existing body of knowledge
but also incorporates regional context as a distinguishing factor. This approach may help
to create theoretical contributions that resonate with international peer-reviewed
management journals. The panel will feature current and former editors, associate editors,
and editorial board members from general management journals such as the Journal of
Management Studies and the African Journal of Management, as well as specialised
business and society journals such as Business & Society, and Journal Business Ethics.
Roundtable Panel Discussion:
The second section will consist of a round table of highly respected and well-known scholars
who have expertise and experience of publishing on sustainability, climate leadership,
environment issues, business ethics, grand challenges, sustainable supply chains, and
specifically, knowledge about these issues in an African context. The panellists all have
experience in publishing this type of research in high-ranking journals.
