Chinese Organizations in Sub-Saharan Africa - New Dynamics, New Synergies (Paperback): Terence Jackson, Lynette Louw, Dev K... Chinese Organizations in Sub-Saharan Africa - New Dynamics, New Synergies (Paperback)
Terence Jackson, Lynette Louw, Dev K Boojihawon
R1,686 Discovery Miles 16 860 Ships in 12 - 19 working days

Trade between China and Africa is increasing year on year, while the West increasingly debates the nature and implications of China's presence. Yet little research exists at the organizational and community levels. While western press reporting is overwhelmingly negative, African governments mostly welcome the Chinese presence. But what happens at the management level? How are Chinese organizations run? What are they bringing to communities? What is their impact on the local job market? How do they manage staff? How are they working with local firms? This book seeks to provide a theoretical framework for understanding Chinese organizations and management in Africa and to explore how their interventions are playing out at the organizational and community levels in sub-Saharan Africa. Based on rigorous empirical research exploring emerging themes in specific African countries, this book develops implications for management knowledge, education and training provision, and policy formulation. Importantly it seeks to inform future scholarship on China's management impact in the world generally, on Africa's future development, and on international and cross-cultural management scholarship. Primarily aimed at scholars of international management, with an interest in China and/or in China in Africa, this important book will also be of great interest to those working in the area of development studies, international politics, and international relations.

Arising from a research project funded by the Danish International Development Agency, Management & Change in Africa includes results of organizational surveys taken across a range of sectors in South Africa, Kenya and Nigeria. It combines methodology, theory, and case examples to explore thoroughly the cultural, historical and economic influences on management in Africa. In doing so, it illustrates how much can be learned from studying both the successes and failures of African management towards realizing the potential of an African Renaissance.

Terence Jackson
R2,352 Discovery Miles 23 520 Ships in 12 - 19 working days

What can we learn about management ethics from other cultures and societies? In this textbook, cross-cultural management theory is applied and made relevant to management ethics. To help the reader understand different approaches that global businesses can take to operate successfully and ethically, there are chapters focusing on specific countries and regions. As well as giving the wider geographical, political and cultural contexts, the book includes numerous examples in every chapter to help the reader critique universal assumptions of what is ethical. By taking a closer look at the way we view other cultures and their values, the author challenges us to rethink commonly held assumptions and approaches in cross-cultural management, and to apply a more critical approach.

A modern vampire tale which takes you for a journey across continents and time, following the title character. Von Dred is a refreshing twist on the vampire tale. The story follows the main character from his humble beginnings in a borough just north of London, to his days at university, his loves, triumphs, losses, and life. Once he is sired his tale continues as he searches for the answer to how and why he became the monster he is. His strong religious upbringing weighs heavy on his conscience. He resigns himself, eventually, to his fate - liar, thief, murderer...vampire. Our protagonist, no longer able to see his family, wanders around England and Europe, and eventually goes to America on his quest. He tries to figure out whether he is running away from something or to something else. All the while, his one big question goes unanswered - "Is there someone out there who will love me...forever?" Von Dred is not just a novel it is a journey full of unexpected twists and turns, love and indifference, disappointments and debauchery, blood and tears.
