Managing Development in a Global Context examines the complex relationship between management, development and globalization from a multidimensional perspective. Key authors in the field explore the historical record, the current global, regional and national characteristics of present developmental and managerial dilemmas, and possible future scenarios. Adopting a refreshing critical perspective, this book bridges the gap between theoretical literature and practices needed to understand the process of development management challenges facing the South.
