Managers ‘Using 20-Year-Old Ideas’
(New Zealand Press Association) WELLINGTON, Sept. 20. The people most in need of management development were not those on the way up but the top managers, Mr F. Marshall, senior lecturer in business administration at Victoria University, said in Wellington today.
Mr Marshall was addressing the annual conference of the Electric Supply Authority Engineers’ Institute. Most of the top people had fought their way up, using concepts and ideas formulated 20 or 30 years ago, he said.
It was his impression, although he had done no research on it, that people did not support the management development facilities available to the degree one would expect and to the degree he had encountered in other countries.
Top people attended conferences but whether they would go to one purely concerned with executive development—the theme of Mr Marshall’s address—was another matter, he said.
“I think, even with this august assembly, we would be
without many of our senior people,” he said.
