Manpower planning and research

Abstract

Possibly the best entry point or initial approach to manpower planning is via term‐definition. Perhaps we should also keep this term‐defining concept in mind whenever we think, talk, or write about the subject, because the very label manpower planning in itself is ambiguous and capable of multiple interpretation. It attempts an encapsulated description—indicative rather than precise—of a faceted discipline or multi‐disciplinary field. As an activity it has four broad aspects: stocktaking analysis; forecasting; planning and policy making; implementation.
