Abstract
African land synergy principles, exemplified by the indigenous proverb of the broken pot where broken pieces enrich the soil, embody centuries-old philosophies of interconnectedness, regenerative resource utilization, and communal value creation that have sustained communities across the African continent. Contemporary organizations face persistent productivity challenges including siloed operations, linear resource consumption models, and the premature dismissal of valuable assets perceived as "broken," while Western management paradigms dominate organizational discourse despite emerging recognition of indigenous knowledge systems' relevance to modern management challenges.
Keywords
