Management Development Methods

Abstract

This article describes a range of management development methods that tutors, trainers or lecturers can use in their work with managers. In this context the term method is used very loosely to refer to a wide range of very different techniques and approaches. It has been argued that there are no discernible limits to the meaning of the word method in the educational literature. This being so, the article will include descriptions of curriculum materials, organisational forms, media applications, teaching devices, learning principles, resources and task variables. What I believe all of these have in common, is that they can be used by staff who have a responsibility for developing managers, either inside or outside of their organisation.
