The work that won her the award is titled, "Achieving sustainable development using indigenous knowledge and entrepreneurship."
This was contained in a statement signed by the Communications and External Relations Officer of LBS, Mrs. Joan Egwuterai, after Onwuegbuzie was announced as the winner of the 2010 award.
According to the statement, the winner's research brings to the fore the potential for delivering sustainable development, by building on indigenous knowledge which indigenous entrepreneurs use in generating grassroots innovations.
The research, it was added, received the award as the best African research project in the field of management.
"The award is offered by Emerald and the Authors' Licensing and Collecting Society, in association with the International Network for the Availability of Scientific Publications and the International Academy of African Business and Development," the statement added.
According to Onwuegbuzie who heads the Department of Strategy and Entrepreneurship at LBS, "Home-grown solutions tend to be more readily acceptable and sustainable, as they incorporate the cultural values and interests of the people."
She advocated substituting top-down development strategies for more collaborative bottom-up engagements, towards achieving sustainable development.
Onwuegbuzie, who had presented the work at the United States Association for Small Business and Entrepreneurship Conference in South Carolina in January, would also be presenting it at the International Academy of African American Business and Development conference in Edmonton, Canada, in May; and at a workshop on socio-economic development in Africa at INSEAD's Abu Dhabi campus in June.
Emerald is a leading independent publisher of global research with impact on business, society, public policy and education.
