Summary

Here we argue that Africa at first appears least ready for a Liberal Management Education because of the historical challenges to organizing higher education in general in Africa. But we contradict this assumption by laying out a potential African-centred management education that draws on indigenous theories and practices of oganisation as they meet global markets and global demands.
