Book excerpt: 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.

This book was released on 2000 with total page 342 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The development problems of many countries continue to escalate despite the huge sums of money that are spent on social, economic, and political programs. In order to determine why particular solutions to these problems often do not work, it is necessary to identify and evaluate the human factor traits that give rise to specific attitudes, behaviors, and actions. Human factor traits include personality characteristics and other dimensions of human performance that enable social, economic, and political institutions to function and remain functional over time. In this fascinating volume, contributors examine the role of human factor traits that may promote or hinder the effectiveness of economic development programs. It brings together scholars from a variety of disciplines to discuss the relevance of human factor traits in shaping history and development, with the ultimate goal of providing information that will help create safer and more prosperous societies in the future. Original and thought provoking, this volume will be of value to scholars studying international development and economic planning.

Download or read book Globalization and the Human Factor written by Joseph Mensah and published by Routledge. This book was released on 2018-01-18 with total page 307 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Since the 1980s, the world has experienced an unprecedented push towards economic, political, social, cultural, financial and technological integration. This integration is a key element of the process of globalization. Much of this revolves around the tensions and conflicts inherent in globalization with emphasis on political economy but at the expense of the human factor (HF), which places people at the centre of all discussions about globalization. This volume brings the HF into the debate and examines to what extent this hitherto marginalized concept holds the key to providing a holistic understanding and contestation of globalization. The volume develops a distinct concept or framework of the human factor; examines the role and significance in global change from an interdisciplinary perspective; analyzes the extent and significance in contemporary globalization discourse; and provokes further debate about the unresolved disputes surrounding globalization. The account will help readers navigate the 'minefields' of the globalization debate.

Book excerpt: Developing Africa? New Horizons with Afrocentricity aims to contest the Eurocentric narrative of an African development discourse. This book deploys the theory of Afrocentricity as an intellectual standpoint from which African thinkers should interrogate and reconceptualize the discourse of development in Africa. Particularly, the book argues in favour of the Afrocentric re-interpretation of African history, African culture and assertion of African agency as the core building wedge in the reconceptualization of the ideal African development trajectory.
