| Abstract: | This article sets out what the author perceives as the goals which transnational corporations (TNCs) and, therefore, their managers, have in Africa; indicates how he sees these goals as interacting with those of Africans and African states, giving special attention to areas of present or potential conflict and to how these may be reduced; reflects briefly on possible future scenarios concerning international managers and the relations of them and their firms with Africans and African governments. |
