| Abstract: | The economic and industrial problems of the past ten years have raised serious questions about the way managers are trained. Critics have suggested that business schools should do a better job in such areas as manufacturing management, ethics, human resource management, and long term financial analysis. John Crisp argues that in a competitive world, the effective management of technological innovation is a key activity. From his perspective , managers of industrial enterprises in Australia, and elsewhere, have a legacy of attitudes, sensitivities, and techniques which leaves them ill-equipped to deal with the new competition. His proposals for improving the education of managers are provocative. |
