Why do Management Theories Fail? Reasons and Solutions: A Perspective of African Context

The paper is a discourse of why management theories fail, particularly in the African environment, and how to make them work in the context of Africa. The paper notes that most of the management theories are foreign to African environment and are inappropriate to African situations. It posits that a major reason management theories fail in Africa, particularly, is because they are applied indiscriminately without being circumstance/environment contingent. It therefore recommends that to make theories work in Africa, management theories must be indigenized, but beyond that, such indigenous theories must be circumstance contingent and managers must use them in a circumstance contingent way. The high points of the paper are that it brings to bear the arguments in the contingency theory of management and the relevance of the theory in management in Africa in contemporary times.

The contingency theory of management: A path out of the jungle

Management theory has taken divergent paths in recent years. The author discusses each of these as well as the movement to unify existing schools of thought. The process approach, traditional and classical, has been supplanted by the quantitative, the behavioral, and the systems approaches. The author defines these and explains their role in management theory and their function in actual practice. Singly, none of these theories can be applied to every organization and management problem, and currently a theory is emerging that can be used to draw the disparate elements together. This new approach is the contingency theory of management, which can be applied situationally.
