Maturation Stages In Business Organizations: Management Development (cont.)
Stage 2 : Educational Approach
- Top management acknowledges that it does have some responsibility for management development. This is limited in the action concept to considerations of "formal" education and training. This responsibility is typically "abdicated" to the staff organization for education/training, with little or no real encouragement or involvement by members of top management in management development processes. This approach typically de-emphasizes the needs and requirements of individual managers.
