Current research
Strategy processes, activities and learning in Sub-Saharan Africa
In a departure from traditional one-shoe-fits-all thinking, there is growing recognition that organisational strategy is actually a product of contingency and cannot be generalised for all contexts - historic, geographic, cultural, institutional, socio-economic, political and otherwise. Further, this view holds that strategic contingency is itself not static, but dynamic and emergent. Unfortunately, in contrast to the other main geographic and economic regions of the world, there has hardly been any substantive research on strategy in Sub-Saharan Africa (SSA). Yet Insight into SSA’s strategic reality would be expected to enhance competitiveness and provide a stronger basis for strengthening the supportive external environmental and industrial policy framework. As part of The Open University’s cutting-edge international management research program, Charles’ research focuses on Uganda and its young oil and petroleum industry.
