Administrative Theory and Practice in Developing Countries: A Synthesis.

Kiggundu, Moses N.; And Others

Administrative Science Quarterly, v28 n1 p66-84 Mar 1983

Reviews 94 articles published between 1956 and 1981 on organizations in developing nations, examining the articles' methods, topics, geographic coverage, the author's institutional affiliation, and degree of fit between Western-based administrative theory and the data reported. Found degrees of fit strong for organizational tasks but weak for organization-environment relationships. (Author/RW)
