| Zusammenfassung: | This book expands and builds on Organisational Theory and Behaviour: An African Perspective which was first published in 1983. As with its predecessor, our aim has been to write a book which is helpful to anyone who is interested in organisations in Africa and their management and, in particular, in ways of making African organisations more effective and more efficient in what they do. Students of management undertaking postgraduate or undergraduate programmes of study will probably constitute the book's major audience, although we have attempted to write it in a way which will make it appealing and comprehensible to both practising managers and those with little or no work experience. It is clear that the need for books of this type in Africa has increased with the passage of time, as we demonstrate more fully in Chapter 1. For many years, it has been widely accepted that institutional weaknesses in developing countries constitute a major obstacle to development. Resource scarcity is a major factor contributing to this state of affairs, but so also are questions of management and organisation, which are the subject of this book. -- From Preface (page [vii]). |

As with its predecessor, our aim has been to write a book which is helpful to anyone who is interested in organisations in Africa and their management and, in particular, in ways of making African organisations more effective and more efficient in what they do. Students of management undertaking postgraduate or undergraduate programmes of study will probably constitute the book's major audience, although we have attempted to write it in a way which will make it appealing and comprehensible to both practising managers and those with little or no work experience. It is clear that the need for books of this type in Africa has increased with the passage of time, as we demonstrate more fully in Chapter 1. For many years, it has been widely accepted that institutional weaknesses in developing countries constitute a major obstacle to development. Resource scarcity is a major factor contributing to this state of affairs, but so also are questions of management and organisation, which are the subject of this book. -- From Preface (page [vii]).</subfield></datafield><datafield tag="533" ind1=" " ind2=" "><subfield code="a">Electronic reproduction.</subfield><subfield code="b">[Place of publication not identified] :</subfield><subfield code="c">HathiTrust Digital Library,</subfield><subfield code="d">2011.</subfield><subfield code="5">MiAaHDL</subfield></datafield><datafield tag="538" ind1=" " ind2=" "><subfield code="a">Master and use copy.
