An enterprise's survival and development relies on executive manager's quality and performance. In order to equip the executive managers with the abilities they need at work, most of the companies will provide them with related training program including knowledge, skills, and behaviors which aims to enhance employees' capability. The case company has conducted such managerial training for long which is used to be held by different business units, but after the case company's reorganization, top executives decided to integrate the training program within the whole group. However, is this training schemes proper for different business units based on diverse industries? This research intends to reveal the effectiveness of the managerial training before and after the timing of company's reorganization. This research used case study as a method to analyze the merits of integrating managerial training. It concludes the following findings: the consolidation of training program, the connection among different business units' trainee in financial holdings, the consistency of training program, and the simultaneously reduce of the administrative cost. However, the implied factors to be further discovered in this research refers to the irrelevance of the training program and promotion, the failure of retention potential employees, and the fewer support from trainee's direct supervisor during the process, and etc.

The master thesis presented deals with the  question of whether superiors in the engineering field in Germany should undergo managerial training to be better-suited managers than superiors without such training. This thesis looks into this question through a survey of a homogenous group of engineering professionals working in Germany. The survey strives to gain information from the engineering professionals regarding their opinions and experience as managers with and/or without managerial training and their capacity to fulfill their managerial duties. This problem resonates widely in the engineering world, yet it seems that not enough action is being taken towards educating personnel in elevated positions throughout a company’s hierarchy.

The practice of training evaluation has not kept pace with prescription, and evaluations being being done are frequently negligent of appropriate controls needed to draw valid conclusions. A comparison was made of training outcomes contrasting results obtained using carefully controlled scientific approaches with those from a more popular less scientific approach. The research design involved the collection and analysis of data from a single organizations managerial training program. , Three different methods of training evaluation were studied: an "immediate reaction" rating sheet, a self-report participant survey, and a similar survey completed by t he participants' subordinates. Bo th surv ey r e sul t s showed no signif icant c hang es in on-the-job behavior six weeks after training. In contrast the "immediate reaction" ratings were positive, implying the training program was a "success." Conclusions w ere drawn concerning the validity of methods compared.

The aim of this study is to investigate the validity of an assessment centre as a predictor of managerial training results. For this purpose, the assessment ratings of 77 white, male, middle managers, who had taken part in a Middle Management Assessment Centre (MMAC) in a South African service organisation, were compared to the results they achieved on a Senior Management Training Course. From the statistical analyses conducted, correlation coefficients, corrected for restriction of range, of -0, 03, 0,32 and 0,22 were obtained between the Overall Assessment Rating and a theoretical, practical and total grade criterion respectively. These results indicated that the MMAC was a valid predictor of practical and total course grades, but an invalid predictor of theoretical course grades. Explanations for the results obtained are provided and three recommendations are made concerning the use of the MMAC to predict training results. Directions for possible future research are also provided. / Die doel van hierdie studie is om die geldigheid van 'n takseersentrum as 'n voorspeller van bestuursopleiding resultate te ondersoek. Vir hierdie doel is die takseeraanslae van 77 blanke, manlike bestuurders, wat aan 'n takseersentrum vir middelbestuur in 'n Suid-Afrikaanse diensorganisasie deelgeneem het, met die resul tate wat hulle tydens 'n Senior Bestuur Opleidingskursus behaal het, vergelyk. Die statistiese ontleding wat uitgevoer is het korrelasiekoeffisiente, na regstelling vir die beperking van verspreiding (correction for restriction of range), van -0,03, 0,32 en 0,22 tussen die Totale Punt Beoordeling van die takseersentrum en drie opleidingskriteria opgelewer.

This work analyzes and reflects on the managerial formation of Engineers who eventually arrive at managerial positions in companies of the electrical energy sector during their careers. Besides bringing to light the historical and social importance of the sector, the study surveys and examines questions related to knowledge in the contemporary world and its implications in the productive sector and consequently in corporative education too. It questions the integral development of the human being in this process by emphasizing contradictions between theory and practice, intentions and objectives, technical and humanistic formation and objectives and results. To develop the study, semi-structured interviews, inventories and questionnaires were applied in order to collect data and information about the managerial formation of Engineering Managers in private or public enterprises. It is hoped that the result of the study will be contributions for the growth of knowledge of the actual reality, increasing values for the formation of future Engineers and Engineering Managers and the creation of scientific, social and cultural support for them. It is also hoped that creation of new proposals for academic as well as organizational education will be possible, promoting a systematic relationship between universities and companies. This would stimulate the transformation of managerial programs developed in the corporations, promoting a formation of Engineers and Engineering Managers that is complete and directed to forming Integral Human Beings. / O momento hist?rico atual tem se caracterizado pela forte busca de novos modelos que possam dar conta das recentes demandas humanas e sociais, cada vez mais complexas que emergem em nossa sociedade marcada por constantes transforma??es. Este trabalho visa analisar e refletir sobre a forma??o gerencial dos Engenheiros que no decorrer de sua carreira profissional rumaram para o exerc?cio da fun??o gerencial em empresas do Setor de Energia El?trica. Al?m do resgate da import?ncia hist?rica e social do Setor, procura levantar e examinar as quest?es relativas ao conhecimento no mundo contempor?neo e suas implica??es no setor de produ??o e conseq?entemente na educa??o corporativa. Problematiza a quest?o do desenvolvimento do Ser Humano Integral nesse processo, procurando salientar as contradi??es entre teoria e pr?tica; inten??es e objetivos, forma??o t?cnica e forma??o human?stica; objetivos e resultados. Para dar conta do trabalho foram realizadas entrevistas semi-estruturadas, aplica??o de invent?rios, e question?rios, com a finalidade de coletar dados e informa??es sobre a forma??o gerencial dos Engenheiros-Gestores tanto nas empresas privadas ou n?o. Como resultado do estudo s?o esperadas contribui??es para a amplia??o do conhecimento da realidade atual, agregando valores para a forma??o das futuras gera??es de Engenheiros e Engenheiros Gestores, criando um aporte cient?fico, social e cultural. ? esperada tamb?m a possibilidade de gera??o de novas propostas para a educa??o tanto na academia como nas organiza??es, incitando o relacionamento sistem?tico entre universidades e empresas, estimulando a transforma??o dos programas gerenciais desenvolvidos nas corpora??es, fomentando a forma??o de Engenheiros e Engenheiros-Gestores orientados para uma forma??o plena como Ser Humano Integral.
