Practical Obstacles to Effective Manpower Planning

Abstract

The personnel function has not, in general, been involved in the high‐level strategic decision‐taking activities of the firm. This lack of involvement seems largely to be caused by an inability on the part of the personnel manager to present information regarding the enterprise in its labour market and by an inability on the part of general management to appreciate the significance of such information.
