Management Development

Management development is an outcome of effective learning that is divided in three parts– informal, integrated and formal management development processes. Some of the features of each type of management development are:

Informal managerial process has the following features,

• It occurs amongst the managerial activities
• Its explicit purpose is performances of the tasks
• There are no obvious growth objectives
• It is formless in the terms of growth
• Pre-planning is not essential for this
• Managers own it

The growth results of this type of development are; learning should be real, direct, and insufficient.

 

Integrated managerial process has the following features,

• It occurs amongst the managerial activities
• There is an explicit purpose for both- task performance and growth
• It has obvious growth objectives
• This process is important for growth of bosses and colleagues
• It is pre-planned or reviewed consequently as the learning experiences
• Managers own it

The growth results of this are; learning must be real, direct, and substantial.

Formal management development processes have the following features,

• They are usually away from the common managerial activities
• Development is an explicit purpose in this
• There are obvious growth objectives
• Developers form them for growth purposes
• They are pre-planned and reviewed consequently as the learning experiences
• Developers own them more than the managers

The growth results of these are; learning should be real and it must be conscious and relatively infrequent.
