A New Strategy for Practical Management Education

One of the most dynamic areas in management is management education. The most interesting aspect of this is that no particular school of thought has won the battle on what is the best education strategy. This article attempts to look at management education from the viewpoint of the practising manager. He brings with him not only his past learning habits which often require a difficult ‘return to the books’, but also his work situation which in many respects is unique. Disappointment can be caused by a poor exam result, irrelevant book material, the teacher not being acquainted with real life, or the night course taking too much time from a growing family.
