摘要

目的这篇观点性文章强调了在非洲本土家族企业中开展非洲乌班图哲学研究的重要性。文章总结了对 "乌班图 "在非洲本土家族企业中作用的理解,并探讨了进一步调查的潜在途径,以了解可能导致家族企业异质性的现有文化和经济差异。这种方法有助于评估乌班图哲学在非洲本土家族企业中的作用。本文之所以选择 "乌班图 "作为研究对象,是因为它是非洲人普遍接受的非洲基本价值观。研究结果本文强调有必要加深对非洲 "乌班图 "哲学的理解,突出强调这一哲学在塑造和定位非洲本土家族企业以取得长期成功方面所能发挥的作用。这篇透视文章呼吁将非洲本土哲学融入其他知识体系,倡导更好地理解非洲本土家族企业的制度结构。此外,随着企业越来越多地在全球背景下运营,越来越多的本土家族企业进入正式的全球经济环境,非本土企业利益相关者和从业人员必须了解不同的文化视角,如乌班图。 原创性/价值本文强调了非洲哲学在理解企业组织方面的重要性,强调家族企业学者有必要研究乌班图在非洲本土家族企业中的作用。文章从这一角度提出了探索非洲本土家族企业中 "乌班图 "的研究问题和领域,为理解非洲本土家族企业中的文化和经济差异提供了新的途径。

The African philosophy of Ubuntu and family businesses: a perspective article

Purpose

This perspective article underscores the importance of conducting studies that examine the African philosophy of Ubuntu among indigenous African family businesses. The article summarises the understanding of the role of Ubuntu in indigenous African family businesses and explores potential pathways for further investigations to understand existing cultural and economic differences that could contribute to family business heterogeneity.

Design/methodology/approach

The article adopts an analytical and interpretative approach to existing literature in family businesses and Ubuntu philosophy. The approach helps to evaluate the role of Ubuntu philosophy in indigenous African family businesses. Ubuntu was chosen for examination in this article because it is a fundamental African value commonly acceptable in Africa.

Findings

The article emphasises the need to deepen the current understanding of the African philosophy of Ubuntu, highlighting the role this philosophy could play in shaping and positioning indigenous African family businesses for long-term success. This perspective article calls for integrating indigenous African philosophies into other knowledge systems to advocate for a better understanding of the institutional structures in indigenous African family businesses. Additionally, as businesses increasingly operate in a global context and more indigenous family businesses enter the formal global economic environments, non-indigenous business stakeholders and practitioners must gain an understanding of a diverse cultural perspective, such as Ubuntu.

Originality/value

This article highlights the importance of African philosophies in understanding business organisations by highlighting the need for family business scholars to investigate the role of Ubuntu in indigenous African family businesses. The perspective article proposes sample research questions and areas for exploring Ubuntu in indigenous African family businesses, which could offer new avenues to understand the cultural and economic differences embedded in indigenous African family business context.
