Aims & Scope

Acta Commercii promotes research within the ambit of management and related disciplines. It serves as a platform for refreshingly new and invigorating approaches to the nature of management and what this means across different contexts, countries and cultures, with the overall objective of providing an African-international dialogue between researchers. Although Acta Commercii publishes work rooted in Positivist, Interpretivist and Critical traditions, the journal seeks to actively promote Critically orientated work. Acta Commercii fosters interest within the South African, African, or emerging market arena and seeks to understand the possibilities that can be achieved in management influencing various other professions. If your research fits this description and is aimed at improvements in the field of the management sciences, we would be very interested in receiving your submission. Topics of interest include Marketing Management, Strategic Management, Entrepreneurship, Organisational Behaviour, Organisation Theory, Critical Management Studies, Corporate Governance, Cross-Cultural Management, Business Ethics, and Human Resources Management.
