Product Description
Edoho and his contributors examine the management challenges facing African governments and business on the eve of a new millennium. As the authors make clear, Africa's future is defined by how Africa does in the 21st century. For Africa, a major challenge is how to effectively and efficiently manage its vast wealth. Africa is not poor because it is poor--it is poor because it cannot manage its development process. As presented, the shortages of managerial knowledge, skills, and talents are pervasive.
