Abstract

In this article we give a synthesis of the argument that inadequate management theory and practice have contributed to Africa's lack of sustainable development. The article is based on a keynote address by the Governor of the Bank of Botswana, Ms Linah Mohohlo to the biannual conference of the Africa Academy of Management in Gaborone, January 2014. The governor, based on rich insights of a practitioner was content that scholars, practitioners, and policymakers have not done enough to integrate theory and practice to initiate models relevant for African sustainable development. We therefore call upon African scholars, managers, and experts to take the challenge of identifying common cultural practices which could be integrated into modern management models for African sustainable development.
