Hannah Titilayo Seriki Book order

Titilayo Seriki presents a new theoretical approach to understanding the success of teams in the complex societal context of sub-Saharan Africa. While existing literature emphasizes the importance of organizational and national contexts in team processes and outcomes, these factors are often vaguely defined and their impacts underexplored. This research framework, which analyzes the interrelationships among societal, organizational, and team levels, offers a novel contribution to the fields of teamwork and project management. The focus on sub-Saharan Africa highlights the region's growing economic significance, as international organizations view it as a promising market due to its rich natural resources and vast growth potential. A deeper understanding of the cultural and institutional environments is essential for crafting effective business strategies and internal processes. Dr. Seriki hypothesizes chains of influence from the societal context to innovation teams, with the organization acting as a mediator. By identifying common societal forces across the region and analyzing their implications for organizations and teams, this work significantly enriches management literature, particularly in light of increasing interest from countries like China.
