Chapter One
PART. B.STATEMENT OF OBJECTIVE:
The aim of this book is to provide a critical analysis of the Nigerian leadership and management dependent development in the post World War 11 colonial Nigeria(1945- to -1960) and beyond, using foreign firms-multi/trans-national corporations; U.A.C., SHELL, NNPC, and OPEC. All these foreign firms have their parent companies resided in their foreign countries of origin and have their subsidiaries all over the global communities-under-developed and developing economies. The United African Company, (U.A.C.) parent company is located in the United Kingdom, and works in association with the British Ministry of Food and Supply. The "SHELL" crude petroleum and petro-chemical gas/natural gas companies are owned by the Netherlands Royal Dutch of Western Europe, in the later years during which trading monopoly became more serious and surpluses and profit maximization were becoming apparent, other European merchants counter parts emerged, as the trading monopoly continued to be lucrative paving way, for possible merging amongst these foreign competitors. The British purchased few crude oil stocks and share holdings making it inevitable for British owning part of SHELL, and joined with the SHELL Netherland Royal Dutch, the SHELL/British petroleum. The Nigerian National Oil Company(NNOC) is an off-shoot of the SHELL petroleum development corporation of Nigeria (SPDC), also part of the SHELL, named "NNPC" the indigenous Nigerian National Petroleum Corporation, formed in April 1977, became the Nigerian based largest indigenous ownership of the crude oil reserve and export revenue earning in today's Nigeria. Finally the Organization of petroleum exporting countries, known as OPEC, formed in the September, 1960, by 12 member oil producing and exporting countries, both developing and developed oil producing countries. OPEC seemingly an oil international manager, whose primary responsibility is to stabilize oil prices, encourage increased oil production amongst member oil cartel producing states, especially during the period of civil wars, civil unrest, regional states protest resulting from social and class conflict by the arsenal peasantry crude petroleum producers claiming they were severe cases of inequalities in their average "income per capita continued to be low, protest against foreign firms whom in the low level class producing peasants are resentful of inadequate and wages compensation from the federal government and the foreign firms who have been constantly been accused of instigating class war fare between several social classes in the population, from the upper-Nigerian bourgoeisis class who protect the interest of the foreign firms, at the expense of their capitalist and imperialist income and revenue surplus exploitation, as we shall see in the following chapters the Socio-economic-"Class Conflict"-exacerbated and aggravated massive unemployment, explosive inflationary levels in the major economic factors of the hydro-carbon energy sectors of the Niger-Delta Regions, plagued by abysmal poverty, as each level of social and economic class national levels exploited and manipulated each other interest for financial and economic selfish aggrandizement and finally the international financial third world depression, stagnation, volatility, slow & low economic growth, as the nation-state, Nigeria's economic status surges.
HYPOTHESIS
This book will explore the genesis of the leadership and management style and pattern, the development and dependency of the Nigerian economy from the agricultural sector (food and cash crop economy) to the crude petroleum, petro-chemical/natural gas economy which alienated Nigeria's economy into international capitalist monopolistic exploitation.
Nigeria's leadership/management dependency development further created massive abject & corrosive poverty, mounted population starvation, agricultural and oil "leadership & management" dependency and under-development, spilled out of control resulting from managerial/leadership corruption at explosive level, civil unrest and inter-tribal ethnic feudal stagnation, unrest and lack of high-tech ideas, (stemmed from pre-and post colonial era) since the attainment of independence( in October 1st, 1960 from British government) to the contemporary.
The Nigeria's leadership and management regimes of the military dictatorship and civilian democratic corrupt ruling system were characterized by marked management corruption from upper level to the down-trodden citizen of Nigeria. Such corrupt management and leadership military regimes were heightened during Sani Abacha and military administration respectively, blatantly refused "Transparency and Globalization-" policy initiatives and Nigeria during his ruling tenure had no foreign policy/external affairs cabinet.
CITATION: From African Studies Quarterly, Online Journal, published by University of Florida Press. Dr. Ebenezer Okpokpo's article entitled, "The challenges facing Nigeria's foreign policy in the next millennium" Nigeria had used domestic policy agenda and replaced foreign policy initiatives, albeit making the image of Nigeria during their regime, an international political mockery in the global international community. According to Ebenezer Okpokpo, quotes, "successive military dictatorships in Nigeria have used the Africa cornerstone slogan to lure complaint like-minded African regimes to support their unpopular regimes". He stressed that was the price Nigeria had to pay for the support of dictatorial African States. His contention was that since Nigeria is practicing democracy they need to embrace it, via verbal and backed by action.
INTRODUCTION
(A). LEADERSHIP/MANAGEMENT THEORIES/MODELS:
(B). DEVELOPMENT/MODERNIZATION THEORIES/MODELS:
(C). DEPENDENCY AND MODIFIED DEPENDENCY THEORIES/MODELS:
The genesis of this chapter clearly focuses on the introductory-theories and models; conceptualized analysis and practicability of these theories to the book topic entitled, "The Nigerian leadership and management dependent development in the post world war 11 colonial Nigeria". (1945-1960).
It will also explore different organizational and social science; dependency and developmental; social science theorists school of thoughts and their theoretical and analytical conceptual perspective, explaining which of these theories are realistically appropriate, suitable and practicable to their ideological thinking.
Finally, in the author's conclusive reality will examine the ideological pros and cons of these theories to see which theories applies best to the Nigerian affore-mentioned topic in the Nigerian case study.
First, from the advanced leadership and management perspective, both theoretical concept and models of the afore-mentioned disciplines, are synonymous to a degree, perhaps, 80 percent similarity and 20 percent in contrast. In author's scholarly opinion, viable perspective and scholarly judgment with empirical research of the leadership and management conducted by one of the most known contemporary exponent theorists in the Organizational Science behavior named Fred Luthan.
CITATION: Fred Luthan, argued in the one of his theory in the "Organizational Science behavior" quotes, "leadership and management" are not all that similar, but most probably to some degree and accepted universally by the organizational science intellectual community" 2005, his concept of leadership model has generated a lot of criticism, especially from the traditional leadership/management school of thoughts, with their empirical evidences, which supports their assertions that Luthan's ideological thinking is obsolete, and quest for his concept in the contemporary leadership behavioral approach.
Second, in my empirical research, The "Author", observed an interesting proposition which espoused the "leadership and management" literature are indeed very synonymous" as a scholar professional of organizational and social science, as well as an International Political Economist. In Dr. Offu's empirical research and studies "a number of brief civil and semi-middle-class while the author was travelling via, "Newyork City Subway train system called metropolitan transit authority (MTA)", the ex-military leaders were empirically sampled in the areas of leadership and management of people and staff". It became clearly noticed during this survey that leadership and management are interwoven with minor differences and similarities which will be later identified through graphic surveys and figures/text between these two interesting phenomenal disciplines.
The major areas of conceptual and theoretical analysis are basically seen in the areas of discharging assignments and duties; as well follower objectives.
Leaders and managers, by virtue of their positions are mandated with self-discipline and problem solving abilities in terms of organizational productivity and task-oriented to provide a comfortable environment for their people and staff. These people are the loyalist/followers, subordinates, substitutes, visionaries, decision-makers, focused task-subordinates managers, substitutes—team players, organization of effective staff and finally, lifting peoples morale during crises and intervention leadership and management situations.
A number of organizational behavioral social science scholar professionals, propounded series of theories, models, approaches, methodological frame work, conceptual analysis and the applicability in our modern day setting. Contemporary challenges makes the organizational growth and task-oriented achievable goal very competitive and sporadic, few of these anomalies ranges from financial improprieties and corporate frauds making the entire leadership and management disciplines appearing like "a Lagoon". A wall-street business corporate contemporary "fortune 500 corporations" is a case in point. This type of business practices at a higher corporate level signals the moderate failing companies thriving at the expense of the affluent organizational setting. The key tenet here is not to provide a financial windfall for the poor thriving companies, due to financial anomalies of the affluent companies nor to close the gap between the rich and poor organizations. Instead we are espousing the theoretical and conceptual understanding which will inevitably enable us to understand the practicability of these theorists models and theories in the relationship to the leadership/management studies.
Third, it will be professionally and scholarly unfair for the reader, if we are unable to define or re-define the concept of leadership/management prior to continuity of the leadership/ management studies.
Leadership/management denotes a process by which one individual influences and manages others or people toward attainment of a group or organizational goal. Leadership cannot necessarily thrive without a leader, or vice versa a task manager. It's a social influence process.
CITATION: As John Maxwell (an author/scholar professional) in his book, entitled, "Developing the leader within you". 1979, (Newyork times best sellers list), examines a simple definition of leadership and its characteristics influence. According to Maxwell, "Leadership/management elicits voluntary action on the part of the leadership followers". The voluntary nature of the compliance differentiates leadership from other types of influence based on the former authority. From this theoretical analogy, we can infer that leadership or management results in the followers/task-oriented managers and subordinates behavior which purportedly goal oriented directives and achievable purpose in the area of organizational setting.
Many albeit, not all studies and concepts of "leadership & management" in the organizational setting proves the same empirical research result, but majority of the outcomes are basically result-oriented and achievable goals attained, with different methodological frame of work and using available research methodology tends to prove the same result, which the Author tends to lean on the Fred Luthan's critical approach with his empirical research result somewhat even, with his intellectual critic that his empirical evidences has been obsolete. In my viable opinion Fred Luthan assertion is still a usable tool for empirical research in the organizational setting and will prove the same result outcome, upon used in the contemporary empirical research methodology and his organizational behavioral-genius/ expert or his intellectual rivalry will still make his empirical research study a subject of unhealthy scholarly research work.
My obvious contention is that whether Fred Luthan's empirical research study has generated a lot of controversy and quest for organizational science transparency, is scholarly baseless by his critics from modern school of thoughts, as long as his empirical reasons and result are ultimately the same goal oriented and achievable result attained as per the organizational setting behavioral tendencies.
Another contemporary theorist/empirical researcher, "named Fiedler, of the late 1960's-1970's, contends that his theory and backed by the empirical evidences sees the leadership/management approach and practice "maximizes effectiveness, efficiency and boost productivity, if his theory and approach of contingency/situational concept" are applied in any given organizational setting. Other theorists, such as "Burns" supported Fiedler's assertion of favorability determines the effectiveness and functionally productive of a leader if comfortable environments or moderately favorable circumstance are prevailent.
Other organizational theorists are "Vroom-Yetton-Jaggo and Philip Yetton", 1973's theories of "Decision-Making" models of leadership and management.
Fiedler, specifically along with Burns, unlike others closely unacceptably empirical research result-oriented evidence did not gain universal scholarly applause, in actual practicability, instead the organizational theorist scholars accepted the two formers as opposed to the later ones, in areas of practicality, workability and productivity with proven empirical evidences.
Fiedler, clearly examines how contingency or situational factors interact with other leadership paradigms, like "Trait and behavior" to influence leadership/management effectiveness. The theory basically espouces that the `favorability' of the situation as earlier identified determines the effectiveness of—task person-oriented leader/task manager behavior, as well as the organizational productivity. Fiedler, Fred was able to elucidate both task-oriented leader/task manager as more effective when situation was either favorable or unfavorable but person-oriented leader was more effective in moderate favorable situation. Albeit, Fred Fiedler's approach toward contingency/ situational situations has been under "transparency for criticism on both conceptual and methodological grounds by other empirical research theorists. Empirical research however, has supported many of the specific propositions of the theory, and its effectiveness contribution in the scholarly community.
CITATION: From Administrative Science Quarterly, article, entitled, "Leadership/ Management behavioral Studies" by Fred Fiedler and Robert House; 1971.
Other interesting organizational science theories are propounded by "Path Goal" theory tends to support `subordinates' as imperative with transformational nature on result oriented and productive capacity rewards elucidates both "transformational and transactional" models and theories which in any effect influence staff productivity, output, planning and punishment; these paradigms ostensibly, clearly provides similar on both leadership and management, both in developing and developed economies, organized societies, as well as the people/governance and the government in power of the leadership/management positions.
Management in its brief unique parlance, has( 20 percent) few differentials in comparable to the leadership conceptual methodological frame work takes subordinates as subliminal—or direct subordinates on the task-oriented goal ahead to achieve a desired success, blaming subordinates for company's shortfalls-eventful collapse, contribution of professionally trained acquired to up lift staff company's morale, and ways of revamping, improving deficiencies in company's policy, organizational policy to avoid further or future collapse occurrence.
The control of the organizational setting is the managerial control, ability to promote individual reward and unleashes blames to task-assigned employees for failure to or lack of low productivity and organizational growth. The organizational setting due to its nature provides comfortable environment and job description as per company's rules and regulations. In other to operate task managers are mandated to provide staff with standardized company's policy agenda, unlike "leadership concept" (set by the organizational chief executive officer-CEO and appointed board of directors) set by the company or the organization upon which to operate and even management styles and patterns of leadership.
