Management education: The need for a reappraisal

Abstract

At the present time there is, in many countries, a great questioning as to the place of formal management education in any total national framework for producing managers. At one time this route was almost the sole way of producing new managers, but as more realistic forms of in‐plant training are developed the need has arisen to consider the problem of how best to integrate management education, carried out entirely within some educational institution, with in‐plant methods of management development. In this article Thomas Gore examines the unsatisfactory position which has arisen in Britain with regard to management education courses in universities and colleges.
