Management Development Program : An Epirical Approach

Abstract

Management Development (MD) is a conscious and systematic process to control the development of managerial resources in the organization for the achievement of an antirational goals and strategies. Many organizational analyses have over the years been struck with the analogy of the biological organism and the work organization. They have identified four or sometimes five stages in the organizational cycle. Study of these cycles may help in management development, but there are constraints in the way. The growth of MD has not followed constant patterns throughout the world. MD activities are designed to produce a viable and flexible work force for the organization as it moves towards its future. A conscious and systematic process which has the clear purpose of helping managers meets "organizational goals". It is commonly felt by managers that Management Development tends to change in behavior of an individual and indeed that are its objective. The management development program should be based on a definite strategy, which should spell out the type, coverage and objectives of the program. The lack of enthusiasm has contributed a great deal to the dismaying results achieved by MD as a whole. Although the human sciences have increased our power to influence change, many unanswered questions remain and further research can be of tremendous importance in changing organizations into more productive units.
