Welcome to MBALI International Conference 2025

Theme:  

Africa, a Beacon of Strength and Stability in Turbulent Times

Welcome Message

MBALI 2025 has arrived and the clanging of the bells of the Call for Papers is being rung in hallways at universities across the country and at international universities as well. MBALI is a truly gold standard conference event, the most popular, certainly amongst the Commerce, Administration and Legal academic fraternity in the country. This 2025 edition of MBALI comes at a time when the commercial world has been thrown into great uncertainty, with trade tariffs and foreign policies becoming the main talking points at the breakfast table almost on a daily basis. It is an upheaval of all that we have known to be true and accepted as the norm, and there seems to be no settling of the dust in terms of this new chaotic environment that firms will have to operate and thrive in. The Theme, Africa: A beacon of strength and stability in turbulent times, echoes these sentiments, and provides the platform for academics to pontificate, to theorise and to interrogate their disciplines against this backdrop. MBALI 2025 is not all about work, this year the game drive at Hluhluwe Game reserve returns, with the intention of leaving early enough to get to see the Big Five as they go on their early morning hunt. Moreover, the organisers have decided to limit the conference to three days with maximum impact in the shortest space of time by having papers of the highest quality. The numbers will be restricted to 100 delegates only, as the organising committee selects the best papers that meet the onerous requirements of the MBALI conference. We hope to see you at MBALI 2025, as we believe that you are certainly part of the MBALI legacy.
