SUMMARY:Distinguished Lecture Series
DESCRIPTION:Seaports and African Trade: the Role of Ports in Africa’s Economic Growth\nAfrica’s port infrastructure presents both challenges and opportunities for the development of trade. Among the key challenges is congestion\, which was an issue on the continent long before the COVID-19 era. Another is the need for investment and technological advances to support mega shipping vessels. \nOn Feb. 9\, Frank Ojadi from the Lagos Business School faculty will talk about the latest paradigm shifts in ports globally and the role ports are now playing to enhance trade. He will address why ports in other areas of the world play a much more important role than they do in Africa. \nIn his presentation\, part of CARISCA’s Distinguished Lecture Series\, Ojadi will first look at the fundamentals and history of port development in Africa. He will cover the early growth period and the role ports have traditionally played in African trade. He also will offer insights with respect to colonial-era port development on the continent. \nOjadi will look at the challenges African ports need to overcome to make supply chains on the continent more efficient. This issue is especially urgent considering the rollout of the African Continental Free Trade Area (AfCFTA)\, which is hindered by current port infrastructure. \nOther key questions the presentation will address include: How can African ports help support regional growth? How can the proper development of African ports support the hinterland regions? How can sustainability be addressed through port infrastructure? \nRead More \n

SUMMARY:From the editor’s perspective: Writing for non-academic audiences
DESCRIPTION:Register Here\n\n  \nKnowing how to write for nonacademic audiences is a key skill for researchers who want to have an impact beyond professional journals. Industry\, institutions\, policymakers\, the general public and other stakeholders need research findings communicated in simple terms to aid them in decision making. \nBeing able to appeal to a larger audience beyond the academic community has other benefits as well. Researchers who are skilled at translating their work for a lay audience tend to gain research funds and consultancy opportunities\, establish an online presence and increase their number of citations. \nRepresenting your own research for general readers also is the best way to clarify any controversies around your work. \nThis training on how to write for a non-academic audience will cover the kind of information that is useful for practitioners\, how to structure a non-academic article and keeping an article interesting for practitioner readers. \nKey questions the training will answer include: \n\nWhat is the typical structure of a non-academic article?\nWhat do editors look for in this type of writing?\nHow does this type of writing differ from an academic paper?\nHow important are graphs and other visual elements and how should they be used?\nWhat findings are of interest to practitioners as opposed to academics?\n\nAbout the presenter:\n\n\n\nBob Trebilcock has been a magazine writer and editor since 1980. His work has appeared in magazines as diverse as Sports Illustrated and Reader’s Digest. For nearly 20 years\, he was a consumer and personal finance writer for Good Housekeeping magazine\, as well as Yahoo Finance and CBS MoneyWatch. \nHe has covered the materials handling and supply chain management fields for nearly 40 years\, serving as the executive editor of Modern Materials Handling since 2009 and the editorial director of Supply Chain Management Review from 2013 to 2022. He is also responsible for producing the NextGen Supply Chain Conference\, an annual event focused on emerging technologies for senior level supply chain managers.
