of people for a definite purpose.

11. MANAGEMENT DEVELOPMENT
According to P. N. Singh, “Management Development is an activity
designed to improve the performance of existing managers, provide a
supply of managers to meet the need of organizations in future and
extend the understanding of the management activity by drawing from
the following three resource areas :
a) Knowledge
b) Experience and
c) Trainee himself”.
It is viewed as a systematic, long term learning process of management
training and growth by which individuals gain and apply knowledge, skills,
insights, and attitudes to manage managers, workers and organizations
effectively.

substantial influence in changing the capacity of an individual to perform

15. ON THE JOB TECHNIQUES
1. On the Job Coaching: The immediate supervisor guides the
subordinates about various ways and methods and skills to do the
job. He only acts as a guide and provides periodic feedback.
2. Understudy: In this case an executive is developed to perform the
work or fill the position of his supervisor. It ensures ready supply
of competent people whenever the vacancy arises.
3. Multiple Management Method: In this method, the organization
makes a permanent advisory committee of executives/managers,
who solve the problem of the organization and makes
recommendation to the top management

16. ON THE JOB TECHNIQUES
4. Committee Management: A committee is a group of executives
appointed to investigate, take action, make recommendations
regarding some matter relating to the organization. The committee
studies the problems or issues and promotes mutual sharing and
discussions of interest by individuals to arrive at a consensus of
opinions.

17. OFF THE JOB TECHNIQUES
1. Role Playing: It may be described as a technique of creating a life
situation, usually one involving conflict between people, and then
having persons in a group to play the parts or roles of specific
personalities.
2. Sensitivity Training: It was originally developed by Kurt Lewin. It is
also called as laboratory training, T Group or Group Dynamic
Training. Here managers are gathered in a place for discussion
sessions and the focus is on aspects such as the ability to listen to
others, ability to communicate, ability to diagnose human problems
correctly, learning to give and receive constructive feedback and
understanding the complexities of group dynamics.

18. OFF THE JOB TECHNIQUES
1. Role Playing: It may be described as a technique of creating a life
situation, usually one involving conflict between people, and then
having persons in a group to play the parts or roles of specific
personalities.
2. Sensitivity Training: Originally developed by Kurt Lewin, it is also
called laboratory training, T Group or Group Dynamic Training.
Here managers are gathered for discussion sessions and the focus
is on aspects such as the ability to listen to others, communicate,
diagnose human problems correctly, give and receive constructive
feedback and understanding the complexities of group dynamics.
Thus they learn how to work more effectively as a group or a
team member and perform leadership roles.

19. OFF THE JOB TECHNIQUES
3. Conference Training: A conference is group meeting conducted
according to an organized plan in which the participants seek to
develop the knowledge and understanding by obtaining
considerable amount of oral participation.
4. Programmed Instructions: It is the application of the science of
learning to the task of education and training using computer
applications. The material to be learnt is broken down into very
small units or stages and trainees learn at their own pace.

20. OFF THE JOB TECHNIQUES
5. Simulation Techniques: The basic idea is to create or construct a
situation which closely represents the actual one. It is conducted
in a controlled environment on trial basis.
• Business Games - Classroom simulation exercises which are
designed to be representative of the real life condition.
• In basket Training – Participants are given all the material in basket
which will help them to solve the problems.
• Case Study Method: Developed by Christopher C Langdell, here the
facts of the case that needs to be solved or has already occurred in
the organization are given for analysis and decision-making to a
group of participants. They study the problem, analyse it, find
alternatives and give suggestions.

21. CASE STUDY
Well Manufacturing Ltd. set up a new machinery at its Nagpur plant.
The company received many orders initially but soon the problems
begun. The machinery stared experiencing failure leading to decline in
the quality of product. When discussed with the workers it was found
that machinery manuals were not translated in English language which
led to a very haphazard use.
Explain how a formal orientation programme would have helped in
the above case

22. CASE STUDY – TRAINING AND DEVELOPMENT
Mr. Swaroop is an energetic MD of medium scale manufacturing firm
in Bhubaneswar. He has been recently gone for a T-Group training.
He was mighty impressed. He wanted to introduce his training to his
own managers.
Mr. Swaroop called his G.M(Personnel) Mr. Patnaik and directed him
to take steps so that T-Group training can be introduced as an in
house management development program. G.M(P) was however not
very enthusiastic and kept postponing the program with some reason
or other. When there was opportunity M.D got Mr. Patnaik
transferred to another unit. In his place he promoted Mr. Vineeth as
G.M(P). The first task he gave to Mr. Vineeth was to organize T-Group
training.

23. CASE STUDY – TRAINING AND DEVELOPMENT
Infact Mr. Vineeth was also exposed to T- Group training elsewhere.
This he thought is an added advantage to introduce such training as a
regular in house program. Mr. Vineeth however had different views. He
suggested to MD that T-Group training as in house program is not a
good thing to do.
Instead be proposed to send selected managers alone should to
undergoT-Group training.
Questions:
1.Why both GM(P) were againstT- Group training?
2.Why MD is insisting on T-Group training?
