BOOK EXCERPT:
Moreover, not only do the new African states suffer severe shortages of managers of any kind, they also lack resources to give those they do have the skills in human behavior management they need. Dr. Ugwuegbu's book seeks to improve management effectiveness and efficiency by providing a better, more comprehensive understanding of African work systems and the behavior of Africans at work. His book, the first of its kind, introduces the science of human behavior into the management of African organizations. It challenges the reign of colonial management practice and blames them for the failure of African managers to adopt modern management techniques.

The main themes are macro and micro issues of Management in Africa, each chapter illustrating the historical or traditional view of Management in Africa versus the newer western business management perspective. This book presents current, in-depth, rigorous research and identifies future research and propositions, enabling scholars and students to gain an in-depth understanding of management as it is evolving and practiced in Africa.

BOOK EXCERPT:
Governments in the developing nations of Africa invest much of their countries’ scarce resources in social and economic development programs, often without much evaluation of the programs or any knowledge of the potential outcomes. Social Psychology and Social Change in Nigeria offers a critical analysis and evaluation of government development social policies and programs, written by a social psychology government consultant who has been involved with such programs for over fifteen years. The analyses and evaluations are conducted using social psychology methods and techniques, including experimental and longitudinal studies, field surveys, and national opinion approaches. Programs and public policies selected for study in the book are those that are guided by social psychology theories and principles, such as the contact hypothesis, ethnic orientation, attitude, behavior and value change, social mobilization, environmental health, and strengthening the youth and women entrepreneurs' contributions to national development. It is the author’s hope that this book will be the first of many such studies, thus helping to improve the outcomes of economic development programs in Nigeria and other African nations.
