SUMMARY:Dealing with Desk Rejections and Addressing Reviewer Comments
DESCRIPTION:Publishing in reputable journals remains one of the most important and often most challenging aspects of an academic career. For many African researchers\, especially early-career scholars\, navigating desk rejections and responding effectively to reviewer feedback can feel daunting. Yet these experiences are a normal part of the scholarly journey and\, when approached strategically\, can become powerful learning opportunities. \nRecognizing this need\, we are organizing a capacity-building training session designed to equip African faculty and emerging researchers with practical tools to improve their chances of publication success. This session will focus on understanding why manuscripts are desk-rejected\, how to interpret and respond constructively to reviewer comments\, and how to revise and resubmit papers in ways that strengthen their contribution and clarity. \nDuring the session\, participants will gain insights into: \n\nUnderstanding common reasons for desk rejections\nStrategies for responding constructively to reviewer comments\nBest practices for revising and resubmitting manuscripts\nPractical tips to improve publication success in reputable journals\n\nThis training is particularly valuable for researchers seeking to publish in high-quality journals and for those looking to build confidence in engaging with the peer review process. By learning directly from an experienced editor and scholar\, participants will gain actionable guidance to navigate the publication journey more effectively. \nAbout Speaker: \nWe are honoured to have Lilac Nachum\,  Professor of International Business at Leeds University Business School\, as the facilitator. With more than three decades of teaching\, publishing\, and consulting experience\, she brings deep insight into the academic publishing process. She is a Fellow of the Academy of International Business and serves in editorial roles across leading journals\, including the Journal of International Business Studies\, the Journal of International Business Policy\, and the Africa Journal of Management. Her work on globalization and global supply chains has earned multiple awards and has been widely cited in both academic and policy circles. \nJoin us as we support African researchers in turning feedback into opportunity and advancing their scholarly impact.

SUMMARY:Supply Chain Analytics for Decision-Making: From Data to Outcomes (Level 2)
DESCRIPTION:Given the importance of the supply chain to organizations across the globe\, businesses are looking for opportunities to make processes faster\, cheaper\, and easier as materials move from the point of origin to the point of consumption. Supply chains involve many different activities\, people and organizations\, which produce a vast amount of information. This overwhelming amount of data has to be processed and converted into forms that influence key decisions and lead to better results. Supply chain analytics uses data analytical tools to manage and improve supply chain functions such as demand planning\, order processing and inventory control\, and risk management. This workshop will build the capacity of supply chain practitioners and service providers in both the public and private sectors in Sub-Saharan Africa to use big data to support supply chain management decisions.This two-day workshop is for procurement and supply chain practitioners and professionals working for governmental and non-governmental entities\, supply chain faculty\, and students.\n\nWorkshop DetailsDates: 26–27 March 2026 \nRegistration Deadline: 23 March 2026 \nDelivery Mode: In-person (Accra) & Online (Zoom) \n\nWhy Attend?\nSupply chains generate massive amounts of data across procurement\, inventory\, logistics\, warehousing and risk management. This workshop equips participants with practical\, hands-on skills to convert data into insights that drive operational and strategic decisions. \n\n\nFor full details\, please click here

SUMMARY:2026 Supply Chain Research Summit
DESCRIPTION:CARISCA’s annual Supply Chain Research Summit is central to our goal of strengthening African supply chain capacity and advancing Africa’s supply chain research globally. \nOn July 6-8\, 2026\, CARISCA will host the sixth Annual Supply Chain Research Summit in Ghana. The 2025 summit\, held in Lagos\, Nigeria\, attracted approximately 350 participants from 17 countries\, 87 institutions\, and 38 higher education institutions worldwide\, featuring more than 81 presentations. \nIn 2026\, we are moving the summit back to Ghana\, to welcome and accommodate even more supply chain scholars\, students\, professionals and decision makers to one of Africa’s emerging economies. As in previous summits\, the 2026 Summit will be a hybrid event\, to be held in person\, and virtually via Zoom. \nThe 2026 summit is envisioned to take a deeper look at how artificial intelligence (AI) technologies are transforming supply chains and organizations across the continent. \nVisit the Summit website: summit2026.carisca.org
