Chapter 1: Introduction -- Part I: Cultural Integration in Supply Chains -- Chapter 2: Indigenous Business Supply Chain Alliance: A Kinship Perspective -- Chapter 3: Rethinking Contemporary Supply Chain Theory Using the Ubuntu African Philosophy -- Chapter 4: Examining the Cultural Practices and Governance Challenges in Service-based Supply Chain Projects: A Case of Ghana Cocoa Roads Improvement Programme -- Part II: Sustainability and Indigenous Knowledge Systems -- Chapter 5: Indigenous Salt Production System and sustainability: A case Study of Baleni Thermal Springs, South Africa -- Chapter 6: Indigenous Financial Knowledge Systems, Financial Inclusion, and Supply Chain Funding in SMMEs -- Part III: Governance and Modernization in Supply Chain Practices -- Chapter 7: Formalizing "bulungi-bwansi": A qualitative study on community engagement in public procurement roadworks projects in developing countries -- Chapter 8: Discourses on Governance in Public Procurement in Tanzania: Indigenous Perspectives and Contemporary Challenges.

This edited work assembles knowledge on wide-ranging indigenous supply chain management (SCM) theories and practices from different African countries, particularly sub-Saharan Africa. The chapters concentrate on how African culture influences supply chain practices' nature, operations, structures, outcomes, and value propositions. This is essential knowledge to facilitate a better understanding of what SCM might mean in the African context while also serving as an avenue to evaluate similarities and differences between cross-country management theories. Africans have historically employed indigenous SCM to address the socioeconomic challenges they face in the coordination of the movement of goods, services, and all processes that transform raw materials into finished goods. By identifying and examining the differences, similarities, and complementarities between various African indigenous SCM concepts and ideologies, this work will inform the development of new models and interventions in response to Africa's complex business management challenges. It will forge new ground for researchers and policymakers regarding effective, efficient, and sustainable solutions to manage global supply chain challenges. Temidayo O. Akenroye is Associate Professor of Supply Chain & Analytics at the University of Missouri-St. Louis, USA. His research explores how supply chains address global healthcare, food security, and sustainability challenges. He is co-editor of the book Africa and Sustainable Global Value Chains. Marcia Mkansi is Professor of Operations and Supply Chain Management Head of Research at the University of South Africa. She is a leading voice in supply chain innovation and sits on ARC and Hellmann Worldwide Logistics advisory boards. Godfrey Mugurusi is Associate Professor of Logistics and Supply Chain Management at the Norwegian University of Science & Technology (NTNU). His research focuses on digitalization, sustainability, and public procurement. Aaron L. Nsakanda is Associate Professor of Operations Management at the Sprott School of Business at Carleton University, Canada. His research focuses on mathematical modeling and simulation to optimize real-world supply chain decisions.
