Management skills development in Canada / by Keith Newton, Industry Canada.: C21-23/13E-PDF ; C21-23/13-1995E-PDF
"Are the skills of Canadian managers sufficient to meet the challenges of the knowledge-based economy? This is the central issue of this paper. If continuous innovation is the engine of growth, and innovation depends on new ideas and knowledge, then human resources are of paramount importance, and redoubled efforts are required across the entire spectrum of skill development. Decision makers in both the public and private sectors must, therefore, undertake a critical evaluation of the vast array of programs and services for skill acquisition and knowledge creation. This paper focuses on one part of the spectrum — management education, training and development. It examines the contention that there are worrisome deficiencies in management skills in Canada"--Introduction and outline.
