This is followed by a brief review and discussion of each paper in this special issue.

Findings – The paper captures the findings and contributions of the papers featured in this issue.

Originality/value – The paper sets the context in which the other papers that comprise this special issue can be situated. Moreover, the paper engages with key issues and challenges relevant to African business and offers critical perspectives on the theory and practice of international business within Africa.
