Management development in transforming economies may be viewed as an open-ended process, which not only involves managers themselves, but also prospective managers (that is, newcomers to the market of managerial positions) and the enterprises over which they exercise control.
Trends in pre-employment management education and training are traced in Chapter 5, while both Chapter 4 and Chapter 5 include paragraphs which discuss quality issues in specific areas of management development and the role of international networking in management development.
