This book unravels the indigenous management practices that shapethe way that organisations operate in Africa. It also addresses the differencesbetween indigenous African and western management practices, at the same time considering the implications for African business management. Insights from the book offera framework for developing African management curricula for business schools,both within and outside the continent. Practitioners aiming to expand theiroperations on the continent may also find valuable insights in this book onesthat may support and develop future management decisions.
