The collaboration curve and the hypothesis, which it signifies, presuppose that stakeholders can engage in discourse as a means of developing a moral framework for action-oriented norms. All participants or agents involved in this process can accept the consequences of this process on the basis of the universalization principle (“U”) as stipulated earlier.

This paper claims also that the principle of reciprocity and democratic accountability embedded in free expression and rationally motivated practical discourse of this kind in moments of historical transition can foster collaboration and enhance organizational performance. I would submit here, on the strength of the aforementioned analyses, that reciprocity and accountability; that form the essential pillars of discourse ethics might also be enlisted as armories in the fight against corruption, distorted communication, and the hegemonic use of power and privilege in sub-Saharan Africa.

One would submit, on the basis of the above thesis, that the collaboration hypothesis and its counter-hegemonic features present an effective antidote that curbs some of the excesses of the ideology of pure managerial capitalism. This is a form of capitalism that puts the interest of stockholders over those of stakeholders (Reed, 1990). It is also an ideology devoid of an explicit moral commitment. Hence, the collaboration hypothesis, due to its embrace of community and the principles of individual and collective empowerment through discourse ethics, makes it a viable platform for refashioning the philosophy of management in sub-Saharan Africa in the modern epoch. It is also a modest attempt to contribute to the literature through the application of nonmarket solutions.
