The Second International Conference on HRM and the Management of Organizations in Africa, 6-7 September, 2012.
 
Organized by the Africa Research Group, Nottingham Trent University, in collaboration with the Institute for Development Policy and Management, Manchester University.
 
Following on from the very successful 2010 conference, this conference seeks papers that examine the challenges of managing people and organizations in Africa. We welcome papers that challenge conventional wisdom about the problems that characterize the organizational landscape in Africa, papers that open new debates on the role of leadership, knowledge-creation and sharing, managerial expertise, cross-cultural and ethnic factors, the effect of globalization and the role of MNCs, including the emergent Africa-Asia dialogue, the place of indigenous knowledge and home-grown solutions and so forth. 
 
Submission procedure
Please submit either extended abstracts (not less than 1,500 words) that will have been developed into full papers by the time of the conference, or full papers (about 8,000 words). All submissions will be subject to double-blind review.
