Defining Moments: Experiences of Black executives in South Africa’s workplace

Defining Moments is Wendy Luhabe’s contribution to help solve many common challenges that cripple the professional and personal growth of South African’s in corporate South Africa. Black executives, managers and professionals have become an important grouping in South African society. But this is a relatively recent development. In the 1960’s none existed, and it was in the 1970’s that individuals began to emerge despite apartheid legislation. Defining presents the studies of black executives in the 1970’s, 80’s and 90’s drawing on significant aspects of management theory and practice in the context of the changing socio- economic conditions that prevailed in each decade.
