A New Synthesis for Management Practice in Morocco

Abstract

Chapters 5 and 6 have presented the thoughts, ideas and reflections of the participants on their experiences of management practice in Morocco. Fusing my participants’ experiences with published theory has resulted in the identification of a number of key themes — including Islam, the cultural ingestion of Islam, cultural characteristics, foreign influences and education — which have formatively influenced their ‘experiences’ of managing in Morocco. Closer analysis provides the basis for a fresh synthesis of these experiences and themes which gives a new appreciation of how Islamic values and other cultural characteristics specific to Morocco influence management practice.
