[Logprofs] Special issue call for papers: "Strategic Sourcing in Africa: integrating African firms in global supply chains” in JGOSS

[Godfrey Mugurusi]

Dear Colleagues,

The Journal of Global Operations and Strategic Sourcing (JGOSS) published by Emerald is pleased to announce a call for papers under the theme: Strategic Sourcing in Africa.

This call is open to a diverse set of rigorous quantitative, qualitative, and conceptual research papers which should provide an in-depth understanding of: (a) the sourcing practices of foreign firms with supply bases in Africa, (b) the idiosyncrasies and perhaps challenges that inhibit African firms’ participation in global supply chains, (c) what motivates foreign firms to invest in developing supply sources on the African continent, and (d) ways that African suppliers can strategically position themselves and compete in global supply networks.

The deadline for submission is January 04, 2020.

You can find a full description of the call on the JGOSS homepage or simply follow this link: https://www.emeraldgrouppublishing.com/products/journals/call_for_papers.htm?id=8811

Together with Professor Intaher Marcus Ambe(University of South Africa, South Africa) and Dr. Richard Glavee-Geo (Norwegian University of Science and Technology, Norway), we look forward to your submissions.

Thank you,


Godfrey Mugurusi
