This article has been concerned to build a case for the contextualisation of development and stipulating a philosophy of management that are relevant and practical for Africa. We have, in the process, endeavoured to expose the nature and purpose of development. We have at the same time devised a philosophy of management without which this development cannot take off. We believe that development, given its nature, is an inevitable phenomenon. (fragment of text)
