Our focus areas

Established in 2021, the Dunning Africa Centre seeks to act as a ‘virtual hub’ to promote collaboration between research institutions, universities, and businesses to study the impact of globalisation and international business. We connect researchers outside the continent interested in engaging with Africa-based actors. It is a sister centre to the John H Dunning Centre in the UK, renamed in honour of the late Professor John H Dunning.

Internationally-renowned members of the centre include Professor Mark Casson, Professor Rajneesh Narula, Professor Alain Verbeke and Prof Chris Brewster.

What really matters for African business?

Under the auspices of Professor Rajneesh Narula, the DAC webinar series seeks to reposition African business as a significant and dynamic global player. This monthly conversation is structured to enable Africa’s top business minds and global experts to debate and discuss contemporary issues affecting African business. More than this, it allows you to join in the conversation. An essential element of the DAC webinar is that business people from across Africa can offer their unique insights and perspectives. Every voice counts.

We ask the right questions

Our distinguished panelists and hosts are drawn from across Africa and work in business, academia and government. Together with webinar participants, we will drive enquiry into the impact of globalisation on international business from an African perspective.

It is time for Africa to reclaim its identity and make authentic, assertive inroads into the global business market. Africans do business like no one else. We have a unique outlook and hard-won experience in one of the most challenging and complex business environments on the planet.

Our topics have been sourced from African business people across the continent, and cover the pressing questions facing African businesses today.
