MANAGERIAL THINKING: AN AFRICAN PERSPECTIVE

Merrick Jones

Journal of Management Studies, 1988, vol. 25, issue 5, 481-505

Abstract: Cross‐cultural studies of managerial attitudes, beliefs and values have produced evidence to support both the view that industrialization is a force for convergence, and for the notion that national cultural realities continue to support divergence. Data from an investigation of Malawian managers are considered in relation to those from comparable previous studies in other countries, and more specifically in terms of the African context. Some tentative hypotheses are advanced, to account for distinctive aspects of managerial thinking in Malawi.
