Conteúdo: | Abstract: This paper explores the practical consequences for development of the view that culture is essentially cognition?patterns of ideas?rather than of material things. It is shown that different levels of cultural cognition (e.g. ultimate ends, strategies to achieve those ends) interact in very different ways with Western management techniques according chiefly to the level of generality of the techniques; the extent to which the techniques are quantitative, and therefore apparently value-free and independent of culture, does not seem to be important. Cultural problems associated with the use of methods for identifying better development projects, modern project management methods and confrontation as a conflict-resolution strategy are examined, as are the particular cases of irrationality, fatalism and traditionalism. The view is advanced that cultural adaptation is a major limiting factor on the pace of developmental change, and implications for training strategies are reviewed.
