Abstract:
Adventures in Management: A Saga of Managing in a Developing Country is a book which
blends philosophical concepts with the author’s real life experiences in the public sector, private
sector, and from national and international exposure. Hence, this book takes inter-disciplinary and
intra-disciplinary approaches which theorises the concepts from sociology, psychology, labour
relations, international relations, philosophy, and economics. The theories from different disciplines
are injected to the practice in an appropriate manner. This enables evaluating the forms of good and
bad “management”. Furthermore, the reader gets the signal that being “multidisciplinary” becomes a
necessary ingredient of the recipe of “management” in a dynamic business context. This book makes
the reader aware of as to how and why the manager should possess the knowledge of all aspects of the
organisation. Moreover, the simple form of written language encourages continuous reading which
adds value to the piece of writing.
The audience of beneficiaries includes managers, scholars and academics.
