It combines methodology, theory, and case examples to explore thoroughly the influences on management in Africa and attempts to push the boundaries of crosscultural theory. Arising from a research project funded primarily by the Danish International Development Assistance, Management and Change in Africa includes results of management surveys across fifteen sub-Saharan countries, and of organizational surveys taken across a range of sectors in South Africa, Kenya, Nigeria and Cameroon. This book is a welcome antidote to this, providing an invaluable empirical base for extending knowledge of management and change in Africa.

Management and Change in Africa While there is a thirst for management knowledge and education throughout Africa, there are few truly relevant texts coming out of the West.
