This volume stems from the International Conference on
Business and Management Dynamics (ICBMD) which seeks to understand the
socio-economic problems and prospects of the global intricacies of the cycle of
global evolution and socio-economic development and in the sphere of business
and management. It exemplifies the ICBMD’s commitment to Interdisciplinary
scholarship and the context-sensitive constructive scholarship of theory,
practice and policy.
The diverse contributors to this volume have one thing in
common – an attempt to understand how various organisations, institutions, and
communities manage and respond to the complexities of volatility, inequality,
digital disruption, and structural change in both developing and developed
worlds. Despite the varying backgrounds of the contributors which include
business management, economics, entrepreneurship, technology, public governance
and development, they are united in their interest toward the study of the
economy and the socio-system of technologies and governance and the democratic
structures of society. In this regard, this volume is a manifestation of
ICBMD’s commitment to support cross-disciplinary scholarship.
The focus of analyses is on Africa and the Global South,
particularly emergent and transitional economies. This focus is neither a
coincidence, nor is it a mere tokenism. It speaks to the appreciative of the
conference that the production of global knowledge is to acknowledge the
margins and the context and the consequences of the knowledge production.
Therefore, the chapters go beyond the abstract theorisation, and address, in
particular, economic and other forms of inequalities, digital divides, and
other ecosystem issues, entrepreneurial ecosystem issues, organisational
resilience and governance, and value(s) in sustainability.
The volume demonstrates a range of methodologies. The
combination of conceptual, empirical, qualitative and quantitative, and
normative and applied work is deliberate and speaks to ICBMD’s preference for
responding to complex societal challenges with integrative and adaptive
approaches rather than reductive ones.
This publication is intended to serve several purposes
linked to possible audiences co-related to ICBMD. For scholars, we address
current debates and construct empirically backed theoretical propositions. For
practitioners and policymakers, we offer insights and analytical frameworks to
support flexible decision-making in difficult and turbulent situations. For
postgraduate and early career researchers, we exemplify scholarly rigour,
contextual prominence, and ethical reflexivity.
What we do know and can say with confidence is that business
and management scholarship ought to remain socially responsive and
intellectually courageous, and future oriented. We hope the chapters in this
volume spark research, stimulate discourse, and advocate for more socially
inclusive, creatively innovative, and economically sustainable flexible systems.
