The purpose of this qualitative-naturalistic-formative case study was to gain an insight into the design and implementation of the action learning Chinese Management Programme for disadvantaged Chinese managers who are incompetent in English language and have been deprived of Western management education. It is vital that they are provided with appropriate management training for them, so that they can achieve personal and professional development. Data or information is informative and descriptive of the current situation in Hong Kong. Because the research was of an exploratory nature, the study was based on research questions rather than hypotheses, it describes the design and implementation of the programme's dual-purpose of personal and professional development. The conclusion drawn from this research illustrates that managers can successfully operationalise action learning to bring about personal and professional development. The research contributes to the literature relating to action learning theory in use in Chinese culture. This case study generated data, interpretations and opinions such that interested parties are able to contemplate the development of Chinese managers. / Thesis (PhDManagement)--University of South Australia, 2005.
