Beugr�, Constant D.; Muthuri, Judy N.

Abstract

Following the 4th Biennial Conference of the Africa Academy of Management held in Addis Ababa, Ethiopia in January 2018 and hosted by the Addis Ababa University, it was decided to publish a Special Issue on the theme of the Conference, Building High Performing Organizations in Africa. To this end, a Call for Papers was issued to further our knowledge of how African organizations achieve high performance and what makes a high-performing African organization. The Special Issue also considered the Conference’s best papers. After reviewing the submissions, four papers were retained. Hence, this special issue includes four papers, the Keynote Speech and a Presidential Address by Baniyelme David Zoogah, President of the Africa Academy of Management. The four papers explore the extent to which African organizations strive to improve their financial and non-financial performance.
