This book considers management theories and approaches specifically
in the context of developing countries. In recent years,
international business scholarship has increased its focus on the
developing world, which represents 80 percent of the global
population and has doubled its share of value-added trade in the
past two decades. This text will help readers to manage
successfully in this region by learning to assess, apply, and adapt
established practices in developing countries. Punnett begins by
identifying the characteristics of the developing world-Africa,
Asia, the Caribbean, India, Latin America, and the Middle East-and
the companies therein to help students understand how the reality
of these countries influences business and management. By tracking
a fictional product through the internationalization process,
students will navigate the challenges of operating an international
company from a developing country base, using a traditional model
of management focused on planning, organizing, staffing, leading,
and controlling. They will also gain insight into ethical
considerations likely to arise, such as differential treatment
based on personal characteristics and age dispersion. Cases,
discussion questions, personal stories, and end-of-chapter
exercises will help readers to grapple with issues and test their
learning. Complete with chapter objectives and "Lessons Learned"
boxes to facilitate understanding, Managing in Developing Countries
is an excellent supplement for international business or
international management students with a special interest in the
developing world.
