<b>Africa Academy of Management Conference 2024</b> (<a href="https://www.africaacademyofmanagement.org/">https://www.africaacademyofmanagement.org/</a>). The conference is due to take place 8- 10 Jan 2024 at the Stellenbosch Business School campus in Cape
Town. Our theme is “Transforming Organizations in the Digital Era: Dignity, Justice, and Prosperity in Africa”. We are looking to develop understanding of how organizations in Africa are adapting to the transformative forces of digitalisation. Additionally,
the conference aims to understand how the nature and contexts of work can be redesigned to foster sustainable management; to promote workplace dignity, justice, and prosperity for employees and their communities.<o:p></o:p></span></p>
