Managing Human Resources in Africa

The terrain of management in Africa remains largely unexplored as researchers continue to set their sights on the West and the East. This volume addresses the apparent shortage of knowledge about the nature, diversity and context of HRM in Africa and highlights the important trends and patterns that have been emerging on the continent. It also examines how and how the extant HR practices and policies have been shaped by industrial, socio-cultural, legal-political and institutional factors. Featuring contributions from the experts, the book is organised by country and includes full chapters on countries across the length and breadth of Africa, from Tunisia and Libya in the north to South Africa and Botswana in the south; from Kenya and Tanzania in the east to Ivory Coast and Ghana in the west. This is the first book to tackle HRM across Africa on such a scale. A bold study of HRM in too often neglected areas, this is part of the Global HRM series.
