Book Description
"L'ouvrage 'Théories des organisations africaines' est le recueil des meilleures communications présentées lors du colloque organisé par la Faculté des sciences économiques et de gestion de l'Université de Yaoundé 2 du 20 au 25 juillet 2016. C'est un ouvrage collectif, écrit par 24 auteurs, dont les 19 chapitres montrent l'intérêt du sujet traité. Le contexte africain se révèle comme un champ d'études susceptible d'apporter une vision scientifique novatrice sur l'applicabilité de théories généralement considérées comme universelles. Les études et expériences présentées prouvent que les théories des organisations dans le contexte africain ne sont pas une vue de l'esprit, mais des réalités à explorer et à faire connaître."--Back cover.

Book Description
Cet ouvrage de recherche regroupe une sélection de douze contributions issues d'un colloque international organisé au Campus de l'ESSEC de Douala en partenariat avec trois laboratoires, le CERAME et l'ARECCA de l'Université de Douala, CORHIS de l'Université Paul-Valéry Montpellier 3. L'ouvrage porte un regard renouvelé sur le débat qui oppose l'approche universaliste et l'approche contingente du management des organisations. Il présente des réflexions théoriques et des travaux empiriques sur le management des organisations en Afrique francophone au Sud du Sahara. L'ouvrage s'inscrit dans une logique collective et transdisciplinaire en sciences de gestion et privilégie l'approche fertilisante entre les théories et les pratiques de management en contexte africain. Cette fertilisation croisée permet d'esquisser une perspective africaine des travaux en management des organisations, en entrepreneuriat, en gestion des ressources humaines, en marketing et en contrôle de gestion. Les apports conceptuels et pragmatiques visent un public large de chercheurs universitaires, d'étudiants inscrits en Master (recherche et professionnel) et en thèse (Doctorat, DBA et eDBA). Au-delà, plusieurs grilles de lecture possibles du management des organisations en Afrique sont proposées aux dirigeants, aux managers, ainsi qu'aux consultants et aux pouvoirs publics.

Book Description
This book addresses the epistemological, ethical and methodological challenges faced by African scholars in their research practices. The epistemological domain addresses three interrelated topics: how African university students ethnocentric choice of research topics hampers the production of knowledge; researchers adaptation of their research methods to improve validity; and the challenge of knowledge production on community museums plagued by gross inertia, irregularities, uncooperative gatekeepers and inadequate funding. The methodological domain foregrounds issues around scientific rigour, the criteria for what counts as quality research, and reporting standards. Contributors contend that the use of mixed methods provides the best scope for the effective study and evaluation of social issues. They also detail how better-funded projects tend to improve the respect of ethical standards especially as they pertain to the protection of subjects confidentiality. Self-financed researchers on the other hand tend to be less compliant, a challenge that afflict especially younger and inexperienced researchers. This volume thus contributes not only to a critical understanding of the challenges faced by social scientists in contemporary Africa, but also the prospects and mechanisms on how to improve knowledge production processes.

Book Description
Cameroon's suboptimal economic experience since independence (1960) sheds light on broader issues of Africa's development narrative, and provides valuable economic and policy knowledge. While Cameroon's large informal economy is diverse and resilient and rooted in old business traditions, its formal economy has exhibited low productivity and employment growth for over 60 years. This has brought anger, disappointment, and violent conflict in several regions of the country. The Oxford Handbook of the Economy of Cameroon examines the reasons of Cameroon's unsatisfactory economic performance and draws lessons from successful development experience to help tackle these issues. The Handbook provides a critical assessment of the history, patterns, and strategies of economic development in Cameroon, and outlines new approaches to economic enquiry for prosperity and social change. Through Cameroon's governance story, the handbook analyzes the evolving conceptions of economic policy, takes stock of intellectual progress, documents the challenges of implementation, and outlines the intellectual and policy agenda ahead. For a developing country increases in per capita income arise from advances in technology arise from closing the knowledge and technology gap with those at the frontier. And within any country (especially one like Cameroon), there is enormous scope for productivity improvement simply by closing the gap between best practices and average practices. Standards of living can therefore be improved through the implementation of pertinent learning strategies. In this Oxford Handbook of the Economy of Cameroon, an international team of leading development economists and researchers address the wide range of issues facing Cameroon and provide guiding principles on how best the country (and other developing nations) could move human, capital, and financial resources from low- to high-productivity sectors in a constantly changing global economy.

Book Description
Since its establishment in 1980 the Southern African Development Community (SADC) has largely been a state driven organization, with the people of Southern Africa, though enshrined in the treaty, remaining observers in the SADC democratization and integration agenda. The Southern African Development Community Treaty-Nexus: National Constitutions, Citizen’s Sovereignty, Communication, and Awareness, edited by Korwa Gombe Adar, Dorothy Mpabanga, Kebapetse Lotshwao, Thekiso Molokwane, and Norbert Musekiwa, brings in the people of Southern Africa, the key beneficiaries of the integration agenda, in the SADC democratization and integration epistemology. Using the new concepts of sadcness and sadcnization, this book operationalizes from legal, communication, and awareness perspectives, the nexus of the people of Southern Africa, democratization, and integration in the SADC region. From legal and communications lenses, the contributors argue that democratization and integration are about people (citizens), the sovereigns, and not merely the abstract actors called nation states. Using the case studies of Angola, Botswana, Madagascar, Mozambique, South Africa, and Zimbabwe, the contributors engage in this epistemology and assess, among other things, the peoples' of Southern Africa—the Southern Africa Development Community integration nexus.

Book Description
About the publication Key reference work for diplomats and legal experts participating in international legal negotiations and transnational policy debates on governing the African continent. Highly recommended for developing courses, reading lists and other teaching materials on African International Law and African International Relations. Instrumental for developing innovative and impact-oriented research and policy strategies on the politics of making and implementing African International Law. What is African about African international law? The main aim of this book is to answer this question by developing a theory to explain how and why international law is Africanized. This includes explaining how Africanization relates both to the extent of continental norm setting by the Organization of African Unity and later the African Union, as the principal agent responsible for ‘African solutions to African problems’, and to the degree to which this African International Organization enforces these norms through varied continental accountability mechanisms. In this specific context, the book considers the different modalities through which the idea of Africa shapes, is shaped by and is embedded in international law making and implementation.
