Abstract
A survey was systematically developed to assess issues related to management training and education, and it was sent to 1,000 randomly selected U.S. companies with at least 1,000 employees. Based on a 61% response rate, findings were obtained regarding issues such as needs assessment, management training and development approaches, reasons for selecting particular programs, characteristics of participants, how decisions are made regarding who will participate, preparation and follow‐up of participants, evaluation of management training programs, future management training trends, and needed training content. Significant findings by company size and industry type also are reported.Keywords
