Abstract
The new president of Black & Decker-Eastern Hemisphere, is convinced that he needs to significantly increase the number and quality of managers in the region. One tool available to him is the US-designed Appraisal Development Plan (ADP). After weighing the options, he decided to move forward full speed on the introduction of the ADP, despite concerns over huge cultural hurdles. Shortly thereafter the Manager of Human Resources resigned to take a promotion with a Japanese consumer electronics company in Singapore. Utilizing a senior Human Resource professional transferred from the head office, ADP is implemented. One year later, it was clear that the Management Advisory Committee still faced the challenge of developing the next generation of leaders in the Eastern hemisphere.
