Description:... The unifying theme of the twenty papers in this volume is the search for development approaches which produce significant improvement on the livelihood of the majority of the people in Africa. Development is tackled from a wide range of angles and perspectives, but all recognise the importance of taking into account the significance of the human factor in development. Contributors are academics, government representatives, and business people. The first part defines the human factor, and shows how development is bound to fail if it is not taken into account. Papers then are grouped around the Human Factor Development and Culture; Human Factor Development and Business Organisations; The Human Factor and Leadership; and the Human Factor: Media and Politics.
