How to Avoid Failure and Gain Success in Management Development

Abstract

Vast amounts of money are spent on management development. This includes not only formal courses, whether they be in educational organisations or within companies, but also the job related efforts that continue from day‐to‐day. If we add to that the support systems such as the salaries of management development specialists, their secretaries, the office facilities and then take into account the resources in terms of space and educational technology, the sum involved per year is colossal. There is a continuing expansion of management development activities with the pressure of managers to keep us up to date in their respective fields and industries which become increasingly professionalised and complex.
