Abstract
Conducts a survey of management training and development practices
in large Kuwaiti organizations. Covers areas such as needs assessment,
programmes and participants′ selection, programme evaluation and future
trends. Indicates that systematic needs assessements and programme
evaluation are sorely lacking in these organizations. Practices related
to programme and participants′ selection and training content areas are,
generally, consistent with previous findings in the West. Contrary to
the situation in the West, the private and joint sectors are less active
in management development areas than the government sector. Executive
educational programmes, an approach that is most successful in the West,
are rarely used. Discusses results and implications of the study in the
context of the Arabian Gulf region social and economic environments.
