Managing for organizational effectiveness in sub-Saharan Africa: a culture-fit model
本文提出一种文化契合模型，主张将撒哈拉以南非洲的本土文化与现代管理技术（如全面质量管理、团队协作）相结合，以提升组织有效性，对研究者和实践者均有参考价值。
Research in comparative management has suggested that an organization's policies can lose their effectiveness when its cultural environment changes. Going beyond the traditional cultural-free versus culture-dependent debate, the present article develops a culture-fit model, that is, a model suggesting a synthesis between indigenous cultures and modern management techniques in sub-Saharan Africa (SSA). Positive cultural patterns may help implement new managerial techniques such as total quality management, just-in-time, re-engineering, teamwork and collaborative management. Implications for research and practice are suggested.
