Management in the less‐developed countries: a review of pertinent issues, challenges and responses

Abstract

Outlines and discusses some of the pertinent issues of management and organization facing less developed countries (LDCs). Based on a review of the most recent literature, illuminates the central place of culture in reflecting and explaining organizational behaviour. Examines the controversies surrounding management and marketing, human resource management and those relating to the adoption of new technology by LDCs. Outlines contemporary responses to these challenges. Concludes with a series of observations and suggestions which may show some light for future research on the management and organizational behaviour of LDCs.
