This special issue seeks manuscripts exploring how technological transformation can support African futures aligned with the concept of Afrotopia—a vision for African modernization rooted in the continent's diverse histories, epistemologies, and cultures rather than Western models. The issue bridges research on future-making practices and pluriversal perspectives in management and organization studies with critical examination of Africa's rapid technological change, considering both opportunities and risks.
The special issue invites scholars to examine conditions under which digital and technological change can genuinely serve African communities and address threats such as data extraction, algorithmic colonialism, and Western-designed technological solutions unsuited to local contexts. Contributions may employ any methodology, with particular welcome for approaches grounded in African and indigenous epistemologies.
