The management of human resources for enhanced productivity

Abstract

Development without resources is unthinkable. This is a universal fact which cannot be denied. However3 the mere availability of resources, material and human, cannot guarantee any measure of progress. The experience of AM-can countries over the last quarter century attests to this fact. In fact, Africa is now far worse off economically and socially than it was in I960 despite the availability of resources and In spite of the fact that it was politically unchained by independence. It is a perplexing paradox that Africa is endowed with vast land, rich soil, and numerous sources of water, H mineral resources, and sufficient labour forces and yet the overwhelming majority of its people are suffering from starvation, disease and illiteracy.
