About the author of this website

Literature and Web Resources

The following is a current bibliography referring to Management and Change in Africa.

Web Sources

These refer generally to cultural, economic, political, historic and general aspects of African countries, rather than directly to management.  This lack of web resources is one of the reasons why the current site has been created.

Two good sources of general information on selected Africa countries can be found at:

www.winne.com/reports.htm - this provides country reports (currently Madagascar, DR Congo, Angola, Ghana, Cameroon, Liberia, Gambia, Malawi, Tanzania, Guinea, Cote d'Ivoire, Nigeria, Kenya, Ethiopia and Uganda)

http://lcweb2.loc.gov/frd/cs/cshome.html#toc - this will take you to the Library of Congress Country Studies index where you can find a number of Africa countries listed. For each country it provides a number of quite in depth chapters on area such as history, economics, politics, etc.

Fewer African countries are to be found on the Economist website (currently only Nigeria and South Africa), but worth a try:

www.economist.com/surveys

If you can't find the country you are looking for on the three sites above, you should try the following:

www.odci.gov/cia/publications/factbook/index.html - this takes you to the CIA World Factbook. For each country there is a map and quite sketchy facts and figures. A good starting point.

Also, of varying degrees of usefulness:

www.afbis.com

www.mbendi.co.za

www.newafrica.com/profiles

www.lonelyplanet.com/destiniations/loc-afr.htm

Email me if you know of any others (that are more useful than the four above): tjackson@africamanagement.org

For information on language groups in Africa go to:

www.ethnologue.com - this provides language maps for each country and a complete listing of all language groups. Although language groups do not always equal cultural or ethnic groups, this does provide a good first indication. We have used it extensively intra-country cross-cultural comparisons.
