ABSTRACT
There is sufficient evidence that economic growth, societal transformation, organizational performance, and the general uplift of the standard of living within countries are more often than not a direct consequence of appropriately deployed human capacity and availability of productive skills through which natural resources are transformed to serve human needs (Kamoche, 1996; Kraak and Press, 2008; Walumbwa, Aviolo, and Aryee, 2011). It is, however, unclear the extent to which African governments and corporate leaders appreciate the need to adopt a strategic and far-sighted approach to the development of human capacity and productive skills (Puplampu, 2009).
