AB  - Presents a case study of the International Management Centres (IMC), a
private provider of management education and development programmes
which are based on the principles of action learning and action
research. Draws on rich data compiled from an evaluation of IMC′s action
learning Diploma, MBA and PhD programmes which was conducted during
1992. Compares the findings, based on semi‐structured interviews with
the stakeholders of the IMC MBA programmes, with the literature on adult
learning, self‐directed learning, experiential learning and critical
thinking. Documents and illustrates by examples that managers can
successfully operationalize action learning and action research
methodologies to bring about organizational, professional and personal
development as well as productivity improvements. In conclusion,
discusses the implications for traditional management education and
development programmes.
