Upgrading Management Development Programmes: A Fragmented or Co‐operative Effort?

Abstract

In meetings and conferences the participants are happy to learn of management development innovations promoted by the leaders of the profession, usually in the form of new types of programme and new methodologies experimented upon and applied by advanced institutions and by some of the larger, more efficient business firms. This is a most useful and stimulating experience. However, in the ILO Management Development Programme, with which I have had the pleasure of working for the last 15 years, we are increasingly concerned about the fact that comparatively few management institutions and even fewer of their client organisations participate in this sort of event and have regular access to new developments, while most institutions and public and private enterprises stand aside from the mainstream of innovative practice.
