Managing in Developing Countries

With hundreds of examples, James E. Austin shows how managers must interact with Third World governments in each of the functional areas of management: finance, production, marketing and organization.

Building on 25 years of teaching and field research, James Austin presents a comprehensive analysis of the dynamics of the Third World business environment where, unlike the West, government is what the author terms a "megaforce".
