Aims & Scope✦ Inferred from recent articles

The African Journal of Economic and Management Studies focuses on economic and management issues within African economies. Recent articles examine factors influencing commercial bank efficiency, the impact of board structure on financial reporting quality, and the relationship between price, service quality, and consumer behavior in telecommunications. The journal also covers the effects of energy shocks on exchange rates and inflation, audit committee oversight, exchange rate pass-through dynamics, and the influence of board independence on corporate cash holdings. Additionally, it explores the asymmetric effects of financial development and globalization on economic growth, foreign exchange risk management practices, and the role of customer engagement in building customer loyalty in the banking sector. Other topics include the influence of user gratification and trust on e-commerce in developing economies, factors affecting digital entrepreneurship among youth, barriers to sustainable procurement in state-owned enterprises, determinants of digital tax revenue, organizational ambidexterity and firm performance, bank competition and profitability, the impact of insecurity on financial inclusion, and the role of governance in moderating foreign direct investment and human development.
