Book Description

March 12, 1998 0761809910 978-0761809913
Dr. E.J. Manga's The African Economic Dilemma analyzes and presents research on the current economic situation and the long-range planning strategies meant to revive the Cameroon economy. Along the way, the author challenges many economic and management assumptions. The study extensively uses two qualitative research techniques: a historical method or procedure, and a descriptive in-depth interview method. The applied qualitative methodology is also accompanied by analysis of managerial, economic strategies, tables and economic models that are necessary and required to be implemented by the Cameroon government.
The African Economic Dilemma does not presume to direct national leaders in Cameroon on how to properly formulate and implement issues such as the nation's economic policy. However, a key issue addressed relates to the actions the Cameroon government can take to achieve its goal of self-sustained growth. This study amalgamates economics and management to produce a plan for the rejuvenation of the Cameroon economy; focusing on the proper expenditure of petroleum export revenues and an effective policy for dealing with price shocks caused by the devaluation of the CFA Franc in 1994.

4.0 out of 5 stars suggestions were not adopted?, June 22, 2006
This review is from: The African Economic Dilemma (Hardcover)
Manga published this book in 98. Offering many suggestions on how to improve Cameroon's ramshackle economy. The suggestions seem thoughtful and logical.

Sadly, some 8 years later, Cameroon appears to be in as parlous a state as ever. Seems like nothing much has changed for the better. Which also does not speak well for the book's title. The book used Cameroon as a case study for all of Africa. Unfortunately, to this ends, there also appears to have been little improvement throughout Africa. With the possible exception of South Africa.
