非洲正处于十字路口。一方面,它面临许多棘手的可持续发展挑战,包括普遍和持久的贫困(Schoch&Lakner,2020),对资源的日益激烈的竞争(Economist,2020),以及全球气候变化日益加剧的影响(联合国,2020)。冠状病毒(新冠肺炎)大流行(PACI,2021年)加剧了这些挑战。另一方面,许多非洲经济体正在迅速增长(安永,2021年),而在过去十年中,整个非洲大陆在治理和可持续发展方面取得了重大进展(Signe&Gurib-Fakim,2019年)。许多非洲城市已经成为(社会)创新和创业的中心(英国《金融时报》,2019年),非洲人塑造了自己的命运,并为他们面临的挑战制定了当地解决方案。非洲以外的看法也在改变,非洲大陆及其人民的机会和潜力日益得到承认。本期《非洲管理杂志》特刊旨在反思和谈论这些转变。其中的论文提出了关于非洲社会创新和创业的新颖的实证和理论见解,增加了这一新兴领域,并展示了来自非洲的研究和利用非洲数据可以为更广泛的社会创新和创业学术做出的贡献(George,2015;George等人,2016;Rivera-Santos等人,2015)。非洲的社会创新和创业是日益受到学术关注的主题(Bitzer等人,2015;Ciambotti和Pedrini,2021;Holt&Littlewood,2017;Littlewood&Holt,2018a,2018b;Mirvis&Googins,2018;Rivera-Santos等人,2015;Sottini等人,2021;Steinfield&Holt,2019;等)。然而,研究一直在努力跟上实地和实践的快速发展。关于非洲社会创新和创业的学术研究也仍然支离破碎,许多研究问题没有得到回答。为此,召开了本期《非洲管理杂志》特刊。
Africa is at a crossroads. On the one hand, it faces numerous intractable sustainable development challenges, including widespread and persistent poverty (Schoch & Lakner, 2020), increasing competition for resources (Economist, 2020), and the intensifying effects of global climate change (United Nations, 2020). These challenges are exacerbated by the Coronavirus (COVID-19) pandemic (Paci, 2021). On the other hand, many African economies are growing rapidly (EY, 2021), whilst over the last decade significant progress has been made in governance and sustainable development across the continent (Signe & Gurib-Fakim, 2019). Many African cities have become centers of (social) innovation and entrepreneurship (FT, 2019), with Africans shaping their own destinies and developing local solutions to the challenges they face. Perceptions outside Africa are also changing, with the opportunities and potential of the continent and its peoples increasingly recognized. This special issue of the Africa Journal of Management aims to reflect on and speak to these transformations. The papers in it present novel empirical and theoretical insights on social innovation and entrepreneurship in Africa, adding to this emerging field and showcasing the contributions that research from Africa and utilizing African data can make to wider social innovation and entrepreneurship scholarship (George, 2015; George et al., 2016; Rivera-Santos et al., 2015).Social innovation and entrepreneurship in Africa are the subject of growing academic attention (Bitzer et al., 2015; Ciambotti & Pedrini, 2021; Holt & Littlewood, 2017; Littlewood & Holt, 2018a, 2018b; Mirvis & Googins, 2018; Rivera-Santos et al., 2015; Sottini et al., 2021; Steinfield & Holt, 2019; etc.). Nevertheless, research has struggled to keep pace with rapid developments on the ground and in practice. Scholarship on social innovation and entrepreneurship in Africa also remains fragmented, with many research questions unanswered. For this reason, this special issue of the Africa Journal of Management was convened.
