The Use of Proverbs and Taboos in Managing Africa Trauma.

Abstract

African management practices have followed western theories in the past century. However, African organisations have not been fully acculturated into the western management style. There is a need to appreciate the African dynamics and management should be reframed based on African theories. Knowledge-based African management requires establishing parameters that address employee behaviour relevant to the society it serves and built on African ethical principles to solve community problems.
