Management Department, University of Port Harcourt

Abstract

This work is on multinational enterprise management with particular reference to Africa. In doing this, the work looked at the meaning, cultural perspective of the human practices management resources and went further to examine the Francophone and Anglophone nations’ cultural influences as it relates to human resources management practices. Furthermore, the work examined the managerial implications of cultural influence on nations, especially, Sub-Sahara African countries. The research is exploratory in nature. Therefore, it was concluded that though separating African from their culture might be somehow difficult but then the study recommended that when it comes to multinational enterprises management, the cross-vergence way should be embraced especially in the human resources management practices of their organisation in other nation in order to encourage foreign experts and guide against culture myopia among citizens of the host nations.
