Abstract

Senior executives are playing a more directive role in shaping management training and development programs. Gone are the days of month- long retreats to the woods. These new programs are specifically geared toward results, basics, and the bottom line, rather than toward cultivating managers'' administrative potential. The evidence that these programs work is drawn from four major U.S. companies: Motorola, Xerox, General Foods, and Federated Department Stores.
