The symposium builds on three events focused on the use of practice-based approaches for the study of African organizational phenomena, and their decolonizing; carried out during and in conjunction with the Africa Academy of Management (AFAM) 2024 Conference in Cape Town. We seek to integrate conversations about the value of using practice-based approaches for the study of management phenomena in Africa; with conversations about decolonizing practice-based approaches in Africa into an articulation of a practice-based sensitivity suited to the study of management practices in Africa.
