A qualitative approach to researching management competences

Abstract

Provides an introduction to, and general explanation of, qualitative analysis. Explains why this approach is best suited to the examination of management competences. The competency framework is designed to allow organizations to self‐audit their executive development needs. Shows how individual organizations might identify their own standards and establish their relevant strengths and weaknesses. Highlights the principles of survey design and gives an indication of the possible explanatory variables and analytical perspectives a researcher might use. Concludes by summarizing the possible scenarios of development an organization may face having conducted such an exercise.
