Our focus areas

Our focus is on understanding and building reputation and relationships in African businesses in order to drive sustainability and societal impact.
We believe that healthy relationships are the foundation of flourishing organisations and communities.
Our research is interdisciplinary and we collaborate with other researchers and practitioners from around Africa and globally.

Attainment of organisational strategy through stakeholder engagement: A South African case study 

Prof Kevin Money and Prof Carola Hillenbrand in collaboration with Dr Gené van Heerden and Henley adjunct faculty, Ms Davina Zibi, have completed a case study and teaching note on traditional leaders who are often not acknowledged or given due recognition in terms of their constitutional and statutory duties in the mainstream economy. This results in them struggling to fulfil their mandates. A short film has also been produced to accompany the case.

Lessons for best practice in government communications 

Prof Kevin Money is collaborating with Dr Van Heerden on a project focusing on communication and stakeholder models guiding communication in the civil service. Funding is in place for the UK and SA components of the project. Thirty in-depth interviews will be undertaken with civil service employees in the respective communication departments in the UK and SA. The outcome of these collaborations will be a range of thought leadership pieces, including white papers, case studies, reports, and journal articles.
