| Abstract: | In this paper, the author delineates the group of activities concerned with business and then proceeding to give an exposition of the concepts used by Ubuntu as an example of the African view of business management. The author tries to establish what some important African thinkers themselves regard as the special position of Ubuntu in contrast to individualism, collectivism and Western Humanism. The author then focuses on the most important topic of this paper, to wit, the application of the Ubuntu concepts to a real case and analyse it as a case study. The author concludes by critically assessing the suggested Ubuntu style of management in terms of universal and specific applications. |
