C231 Management in rural development
Considers how managers of organisations operating in rural areas of low-middle income countries
can respond to the challenges posed by the nature of the rural environment and of many interventions
designed to promote rural development. It examines the relevance of
management theories developed within industrial economies for such contexts and considers skills
and systems required for the management of people, finance and information. Whilst relevant to
managers within state, private sector and civil society organisations, there is a particular focus
on managing public sector organisations providing public goods and delivering services within rural
areas.
