Abstract

First of all, there is a need to dispel some of the myths about manpower planning; first, that it is about succession planning, management development, maintaining sensible age profiles, wastage analysis, etc. Of course, it includes all these important “supply‐side” considerations, but that is only part of the story. The more important part is — establishing the needs — the “demand side” of the manpower plan in relation to the corporate plan and the view of the shape, character and extent of future operations.
