Abstract
Part of the distinction between African and Western management theories lies in the positioning of religion. This analysis leads from the premise that reality is the outcome of a struggle between diverse interpretations of religions. Throughout history religions, as systems of meaning, construct centers and margins (Asad, 1983; Wijsen, 2017). The actuality of management sciences demonstrates a discipline in which power relations around the interpretations of management and religions are revealed. In this domain, the African Ubuntu management style has been marginalized by a Western colonial(de-)construction of religion. The central question here is: what is the role of religion in a de-colonial relationship between African and Western management? The paper seeks to argue that religion is a variable of trans-modern management, a connection which is needed for the de-coloniality of African and Western modern management concepts.
