“…While former colonies in the Global South have achieved political independence, the enterprise of colonialism is far from over (Ndlovu‐Gatsheni, 2020). The dominance of former colonizing nations has continued through aid, trade, and business (Dados, 2020; Smith, 2002).

While effective in imparting skills and competencies required for donor‐centric evaluations, the present system of evaluation education in the Global South adds little to the development of Indigenous evaluation theory and practice. As education is the primary tool for building evaluators’ capacity to construct knowledge situated in local epistemologies and culture, deconstructing the colonial character of education is the first step toward the decolonization of evaluation practice. The chapter first discusses the importance of disrupting the colonial episteme as a core feature of the decolonization process. Next, it explores the coloniality of the present education system in Global South evaluation and its implication for the evaluation field. The chapter then proposes five key strategic directions for decolonizing evaluation education and reinstating the voice and agency of Global South communities in the evaluation process: (1) transforming evaluation education to prioritize the learning needs of field‐based organizations, (2) strengthening access to evaluation education for grassroots communities, (3) acknowledging the primacy of local languages in building transformative knowledge, (4) reimagining evaluation educators, and (5) recognizing internal colonialism and social justice in the evaluation curriculum.

Business is commonly regarded as one of the powerful actors in the world today. However, this position is neither as straightforward as often believed nor particularly new. Nevertheless, business historians have not focused on the topic of business power to date, often leaving it as something lurking in the background of their analyses. There are signs that this may be beginning to change with the growth of studies on the history of capitalism, but this revised presidential address encourages business historians to engage more fully and explicitly with the concept of power and to recognize the different ways in which the concept can be used to enlighten the study of business history.
