’I consider this book the first of its kind on the issue of African-centered management education. The author provides thought-provoking and radical input on a subject that is most crucial for Africa to successfully meet its development objectives and positively change its economic trajectory. It is an invaluable contribution to much-needed management literature from an African perspective.’ Neville Gertze, Ambassador of Namibia to Germany
