Senior Lecturer - Trevor Amos

"I think anyone would like to enter into that world and be able to play that influencing, determining role, to make things happen and to provide vision and to make a difference.
The Department of Management focuses on general management, so we don't focus on a specific functional area of management.
That means that in first year we focus on developing the understanding and the knowledge around being able to manage. "


What does the study of Management involve? 

This is a question which first year Commerce students and prospective Commerce students might well ask. To answer this question, one first needs to define the purpose of a business organisation.

In simple terms, the purpose of a business is to make a profit by selling products and/or services at an affordable price that satisfy the needs of consumers. This, however, does not happen by accident. It has to be made to happen and the management process is indispensable in ensuring that it happens. As such, management may be defined as:

a process whereby people in leading positions use human and other resources as efficiently as possible in order to provide specific products and/or services, with the aim of meeting the needs of consumers/customers as a means of achieving the stated goals of the business, of which profit is one of the most important.

To ensure that a business organisation fulfils its purpose and achieves its objectives, it is generally accepted that certain functions have to be performed as follows:-

Introduction

Thank you for your interest in reading for the degree of Master of Commerce (MCom), or Doctor of Philosophy (PhD), with the Department of Management at Rhodes University. The information provided in this document contains important information that you must carefully consider before you proceed with a formal application.

There are five main factors that are taken into account when we evaluate applications from potential students at this level.

Firstly, we evaluate your potential to succeed with the challenges of a rigorous and necessarily demanding academic research programme. We do this on the basis of a detailed scrutiny of your previous academic results, both undergraduate and postgraduate. We will also read your prior research, in the form of an honours project (in the case of an MCom application), or a master's thesis (for the PhD). Our evaluation of your potential is informed by the specifications of the Higher Education Qualifications Sub-Framework for master’s and doctoral degrees. See below for details relevant to the level of your application. A key implication of this qualification structure is that no doctoral candidate will require substantial remedial assistance from us, for any of the competencies specified at master’s level.

Secondly, we consider our research supervision capacity. Every year, we receive more applications than we have supervision capacity to accept. Therefore, if you choose to proceed with a formal application, you need to be aware of the highly competitive environment where not all the applicants will be successful.

Thirdly, we consider your research area. This will involve you sending us a preliminary research proposal, written in an acceptable and appropriately referenced academic style. Your preliminary proposal serves a number of important purposes. It provides further insights into your academic abilities. It also enables us to evaluate your perceived levels of commitment to, and enthusiasm for, your proposed research programme. Finally, it allows us to assess the alignment of your research interest with the general academic interests of the staff in the Department.

Fourthly, we wish to know your intended location for the duration of your studies. It is preferable that successful candidates will be in attendance on campus.

Fifthly, we expect that applicants will be interested in studying with us specifically because their proposed research is relevant to the current research activities of a potential supervisor within our Department. This will necessitate an investigation by you, to determine whether your topic is a reasonable match with the publication record (including recent working papers and conference presentations) of one, or perhaps two, of our staff members. Following your investigation, we require a letter of motivation from you, in which you identify your proposed supervisor or supervisors, and explain why your proposed work might be of interest to them.


Purpose of a Master’s degree

The primary purposes of a master’s degree1 are to educate and train researchers who can contribute to the development of knowledge at an advanced level, or prepare graduates for advanced and specialised professional employment. The master’s degree in the Department of Management is by full thesis, and there is no course work component.

The master’s thesis must show that the candidate: a) is sufficiently acquainted with the appropriate methods and techniques of research; b) is sufficiently acquainted with the relevant literature; c) has both satisfactorily understood the nature of the problem or topic and assessed the significance of the findings; and d) has satisfactorily presented the results of independent research for the award of the degree in a manner which is satisfactory as to literary style and presentation, and free from grammatical and typographical errors. Furthermore, the master’s thesis must show that the candidate is able to: a) deal with complex issues both systematically and creatively; b) make sound judgements using data and information at their disposal and communicate their conclusions clearly to specialist and non-specialist audiences; c) demonstrate self-direction and originality in tackling and solving problems; d) act autonomously in planning and implementing tasks at a professional or equivalent level; and e) continue to advance their knowledge, understanding and skills.


Purpose of a Doctoral degree

A doctoral degree1 requires a candidate to undertake research at the most advanced academic levels culminating in the submission, assessment and acceptance of a thesis. The doctoral degree in the Department of Management is by full thesis, and there is no course work component. The defining characteristic of this qualification is that the candidate is required to demonstrate high-level research capability and make a significant and original academic contribution at the frontiers of a discipline or field. The work must be of a quality to satisfy peer review and merit publication. The degree may be earned through pure discipline-based or multidisciplinary research or applied research. This degree requires a minimum of two years' fulltime study. A graduate must be able to supervise and evaluate the research of others in the area of specialisation concerned.

The doctoral thesis must show that the candidate:

  1. is sufficiently acquainted with the appropriate methods of research;
  2. is sufficiently acquainted with the relevant literature;
  3. has satisfactorily presented the results of independent research for the award of the degree;
  4. has made a substantial and original contribution to knowledge in the discipline, the substance of which is worthy of publication in a scholarly journal or book. (The doctoral thesis differs from a master’s thesis particularly in respect to this point). In addition, the thesis must be satisfactory as to literary style and presentation.

Research Projects

There is a need in Africa to develop not simply effective organisational management and leadership, but also that which is appropriate to Africa. Similarly, it is not sufficient to develop knowledge for Africa, but to develop knowledge from Africa. African knowledge and culture, pertaining to the science (theory) and practice of Management, has been largely denigrated, as has the knowledge pertaining to Chinese management in Africa.

Brief Summary

China’s presence in Africa is changing geopolitical dynamics impacting at organizational and community levels. Little extant literature focuses on these levels. These dynamics also influence the ways scholars view Chinese activity, often negatively so. Critical theories in international organizational and management studies that draw on Postcolonial Theory focus on North-South dynamics. This may now be inappropriate to critically understanding a new South-South dynamic.

Research at organizational level of Chinese corporations and organizations in Africa is practically non-existent. This may reflect a previous lack of interest by management scholars in sub-Saharan Africa as an area of study. More recently research on this dynamic and important region has increased, yet may still suffer from a lack of theoretical grounding. Contemporary interest in critical studies such as Postcolonial Theory has given theory development an impetus, but still may be falling behind developments in other areas of the social sciences. Similarly theoretical and empirical developments in the study of China abroad are in their infancy. China, of course is present in other ‘Southern’ regions, not just sub-Saharan Africa. Therefore the current work may have wider implications for the further cross-cultural study of organization and management of Chinese organizations in other parts of the world, and for Chinese management policy and practice generally.

This international research project sets out to develop colleagues and capacity within an international collaboration that seeks to:

  • Develop cross-cultural theory and methodology to study these dynamics
    at an organisational level; and
  • Investigate the nature of Chinese organisational activity and its implications
    for Africa’s economic, social and community development.

We believe this project will position the research partners at the forefront of research in this area, by leading an international network and through seeking to publish in top management journals in an area that is both topical, has implications for Africa’s future development and implications for geopolitical relations on the World stage. At the same time commitment has been gained from a team of researchers that has the potential to substantially develop their research capacity, together with training doctoral and masters students.

We are expecting to cover at least the following (perhaps some overlapping) areas:

  • Organization and management of Chinese firms in sub-Saharan Africa
    [organization and management]
  • The nature of HRM and employment relations in Chinese organizations in Africa [HRM]
  • Synergies between Chinese and African cultures and values and implications for managing organizations [cultural synergies]
  • Strategies in practice: managers’ interpretations of strategies
    and implications [strategies]
  • Stakeholder and community relations [stakeholders]
  • Negotiation relationships [negotiations]
  • The management of ethical values across cultures [ethics].

We are expecting to cover at least the following countries:

  • South Africa
  • Mauritius
  • Botswana
  • Zambia
  • Zimbabwe
  • Nigeria
  • Ghana
  • Cameroon (and other Francophone countries)
  • Tanzania
  • Kenya
  • Uganda

Initial funding of this project has been provided by the Sandisa Imbewu Fund at Rhodes University, with research cooperation between Rhodes University, South Africa; Middlesex University Business School, London; and Nanjing University, China. We are also expecting to involve colleagues from African universities as well as colleagues from the Open University Business School, UK; Stockholm University, Sweden; Catholic University of Lille, France.

The Sandisa Imbewu Fund, meaning ‘We are growing and multiplying our seeds” was initiated by Rhodes Unversity’s Vice-Chancellor Dr Saleem Badat to establish a seed fund for strategic new academic initiatives. The seed fund is aptly named Sandisa Imbewu as it reflects Rhodes University’s strategy to grow its postgraduate student numbers, research and development programmes and to multiply its postgraduate and research outputs towards enhancing its standing as the “Scholarly University”.

The ultimate goal of the Sandisa Imbewu funded project is to develop a research focus area in the Faculty of Commerce that specialises in cross-cultural research on management and leadership in African organisations. This will incorporate an understanding of the global dynamics associated with, in this instance, Chinese presence in Africa. The focus can in time be extended to western and other ‘southern’ presence, such as the other BRIC countries, and their interaction with indigenous leadership and management.  

Ultimately, the Department of Management would like to set the trend in this research area in South Africa in collaboration with its international colleagues, and increase its research scope to include the development of management and leadership knowledge from Africa, its capacity development and its ability to draw scholars from South Africa, other countries in Africa and internationally.

In addition to the Sandisa Imbewu funding, we are actively seeking further funding.
