Many companies prefer to promote from within, partially out of tradition and to keep the costs of training within budget. But is this what will keep companies competitive in this increasingly global market? This significant book focuses on executive education--what the authors refer to as the training of people already in managerial positions for greater responsibility. Not a how-to manual, rather the book examines the key issues in the process of executive education in an increasingly complex world. The authors summarize recent major changes in the business world that have had a significant impact on management competency, survey developments in meeting the needs of a changing environment, and provide an analysis of how anticipated needs of future executives can be met. In scrutinizing the principal players--the corporation, the executives, and the directors of the business schools' executive educational programs--the authors hope this book will help not only the human resources executives responsible for development, but students and researchers in business schools as well.
