Competitive papers that reviewers decide are not sufficiently well developed may be invited to present in the Developing Research stream. Papers must focus on management and/or leadership in Sub-Saharan African organisations, broadly defined. The publication of proceedings will be via a CD with ISSN, competitive papers will be blind reviewed by two reviewers.
