Management Development: Competencies, Contracts, Teams and Work‐based Learning

Abstract

A recent report has suggested that there is a total inadequacy of management education and development in Britain. One fundamental concern is the design of programmes which focus on the development of effective managers, as opposed to just teaching people about business and management. An innovative management development programme has been developed, based around key adult learning principles such as emphasis on management competencies and work experience based learning.
