Abstract
The Management Charter Initiative (MCI) has now been in existence for several years. Its major objective is to promote the notion of “competency” and facilitate the introduction of a list of generic management standards into British organizations. In the light of the debate which this movement has provoked, attempts to summarize the major conceptual issues. Takes a big picture overview of the major advantages, disadvantages and “grey” areas as they are perceived by British management generally (i.e. organizations and academia). As far as possible, it is a balanced review, which it is hoped will assist human resource practitioners in the area of strategy formulation.
