Aims and Scope

The Journal of Leadership, Strategy, and Impact in Africa is a peer-reviewed, multidisciplinary journal that aims to advance knowledge at the intersection of leadership, strategy, sustainability, and digital transformation, with a strong grounding in African realities and global relevance. The journal welcomes contributions that explore how leadership and strategic thinking drive innovation, inclusive growth, and resilience in complex and evolving contexts. We are particularly interested in empirical and conceptual work that examines leadership practices and systems that are human-centered, digitally fluent, and sustainability-oriented.

Articles may draw on diverse disciplines, including business, public policy, education, economics, development studies, and technology, but must demonstrate practical application, ethical consideration, and impact. We encourage critical engagement with issues such as digital disruption, ethical leadership, governance reform, green growth, gender equity, and capacity development.

Our scope includes, but is not limited to:

• Leadership and strategy in African enterprises and institutions
• Case studies of African innovation, entrepreneurship, and change leadership
• Research on responsible, ethical, and transformational leadership
• The role of digital technologies in shaping strategic business practices
• Sustainability-driven leadership models and climate-resilient strategies
• Leadership for public value and inclusive development
• Comparative leadership practices and insights from across the Global South

 

Mission

The journal is dedicated to publishing rigorous, high-quality, and practical research that bridges leadership, business, sustainability, and digital transformation. We strive to:

• Promote research that solves African business and leadership challenges while contributing to global knowledge.
• Foster a collaborative research community that brings together academics, practitioners, and policymakers.
• Support multidisciplinary and evidence-based insights that drive innovation and social impact.
• Uphold ethical, inclusive, and forward-thinking scholarship that influences business education and practice.

Vision
