| Management Development Programme (MDP) is a systematic process of learning and growth by which managerial personnel gain and apply knowledge, skills, attitudes and insights to manage the work in their organisations effectively and efficiently. All MDP must be related to the specific needs of the individual managers, the job and the organization. Management Development Programme should be launched only after the MDP needs are assessed clearly and specifically. The effectiveness of a management development programme can be judged only with the help of MDP needs identified in advance. Management Development Programmes, which are ill directed and inadequately focused, do not serve the purpose of the trainers, the trainees, or the organization. Hence identifying MDP needs become the top priority of every progressive organization. The present article is an outcome of a research study conducted by the authors in order to find out the MDP needs of Public Sector Managers. The study was conducted in Neyveli Lignite Corporation (NLC) Limited, one of the leading profit making public sector organisations. The result of the research has been discussed in this article |
