Integrating Executive Development Into A Total Educational Philosophy: Brazil

Abstract

Despite its past economic success Brazil faces a serious shortage of experienced managers to plan, organise and direct its course into the future. Previously it has relied on other countries to develop its managers. The formation of the Instituto de Administracao e Gerenica (Institute for Administration and Management (IAG)) in the early 1970s is described, which now offers courses in executive development and management behaviour. Its approach is particularly effective in developing balanced executives and providing the more experienced manager with a broader education.
