Aims & Scope
The aim of the African Journal of Business Ethics (AJoBE) is to contribute to the expansion of business ethics as an academic field in Africa. Towards this end, our main focus is on stories from Africa and about Africa. This focus includes not only the contextual or the material, but also the philosophical. We strongly encourage work that reflects on the activities of businesses in Africa from the perspective of African epistemologies, African ontologies and African axiologies. We focus on Africa for no other reason than that we are infinitely curious about the richness of experience and thought inherent in the diversity of our continent and her people.
