ABSTRACT

This chapter looks at why management education in Africa is at a crossroads and warned that management and business education in Africa cannot use yesterday's weapons to fight today's and tomorrow's battles. From the issues and challenges of management education in Africa, vis--vis Africa's numerous developmental challenges, the handwriting is on the wall. Most of the issues go to the heart of the essence of management education, which the author believes is, in the case of Africa, about the development of the continent. The hope was that management education on the continent could contribute significantly to the development of Africa by developing the requisite human capital through an African-centred pedagogy. The issue here is not the innovative and radical nature of Prahalad's idea of inclusive business and the eradication of poverty; it is about development. Another area in which management education in Africa has fallen short is the training of social entrepreneurs and innovators.
