Managing towards Self-Reliance: organisational effectiveness in Africa

How can organisations, managers and directors be efficient in Africa today? Managing towards Self-Reliance presents tools and techniques which enable organisations to function in the complex and often paradoxical environment which surrounds them. The authors discuss the notion of self-reliance, the purpose and the efficiency of organisations, strategic management, human resources and project management. The book is the result of research work done during a pilot training programme held over a year at the Gorée Institute in Senegal, in which over 60 African based organisations participated.
