The nature and scope of human resource management with implications for manpower planners in Africa

Abstract

This working document is intended to (a) provide a framework towards the understanding of the nature and scope of human resource management and (b) high light the role of the Manpower Planner in the process of human resource management for development. The treatment of issues and concepts as contained in this document transcends the traditional piecemeal, singular and disintegrated approach which, unfortunately, has guided human resource planning, development and utilization programmes in Africa over the years.
