PALGRAVE STUDIES IN AFRICAN LEADERSHIP Series Editors: Faith Ngunjiri and Nceku Nyathi MANAGEMENT STUDIES IN SOUTH AFRICA Exploring the Trajectory in the Apartheid Era and Beyond Shaun Ruggunan and R. Sooryamoorthy Palgrave Studies in African Leadership Series Editors Faith Ngunjiri Moorhead, MN, USA Nceku Nyathi De Montfort University Leicester, UK Almost every continent has solid representation in the field of leadership studies except for Africa, despite its rapid growth. A groundbreaking series, Palgrave Studies in African Leadership fills a gap in the production of knowledge and scholarly publishing on Africa and provides a much needed outlet for the works of scholars interested in African leadership studies around the world. Where many studies of leadership in Africa focus solely on one country or region, this series looks to address leadership in each of the different regions and countries of the continent. This comes at a time when business and academic discourse have begun to focus on the emerging markets across Africa. The wide-ranging scholarly perspectives offered in this series allow for greater understanding of the foundation of African leadership and its implications for the future. Topics and contribu- tors will come from various backgrounds to fully explore African leader- ship and the implications for business, including scholars from business and management, history, political science, gender studies, sociology, reli- gious studies, and African studies. The series will analyze a variety of topics including African political leadership, women’s leadership, religious lead- ership, servant leadership, specific regions, specific countries, specific gen- der categories, specific business entities in Africa, and more.

It focuses also on the ways in which the man- agement studies academy has or has not transformed in post-apartheid South Africa. The book is also a tribute to the power of collaboration across academic disciplines. As academics from management studies and sociology, separated not only by disciplinary and methodological identi- ties, we recognize the importance of collaboration. Both the National Research Foundation of South Africa and the University of KwaZulu-Natal have been supportive through the provision of the funding and infrastructure needed to produce this work. We are grateful to Renjini Devaki for the expert handling of the vast number of bibliographic records. Claudette Kercival was especially adept at helping to source archival material for us. Geoff Waters provided editorial assis- tance and a critical reading of the draft manuscript. Stella Nkomo and Dorothy Spiller were generous in serving as “sounding boards”. Thank you to Liz Barlow and her team at Palgrave Macmillan for han- dling this project with such care and professionalism. Finally, thank you to our families for their unwavering support and encouragement. Durban, South Africa Shaun Ruggunan R.
