ABSTRACT

The prevailing paradigm of business and management education in Africa today is that of mimicking Western management and business schools or Western management education pedagogy. This chapter looks at the Lord Lugard's comment on its head and tell African contemporaries to avoid the 'Westernization of African management and business schools disease'. It focuses on the management and business schools in Africa to be able to do that, they must overcome the generic challenges that management and business schools in general face, as well as specific challenges peculiar to Africa. It also elaborates on what is at the core of an African centred management education. Africa needs a paradigm shift in management education that goes beyond ideology to deal with the numerous developmental challenges the continent faces. African-centred management pedagogy is a teaching and learning method of management directed at Africans and African institutions, which places the African experience, condition, and culture at its core.
