Abstract:
|
This report contains the major results from a study of management development in Danish
organizations. The study is part of a European research project with participation of
Denmark, the U.K, France, Norway, Rumania, Spain, and Germany. The project is part of
the so-called Leonardo program the purpose of which is to further cross-country
competence development and collaboration within the European educational sector. The
first phase of the project is a quantitative interview study of one hundred organizations in
each of the participating countries. The second phase consists in qualitative case studies
in selected organizations in each of the countries. In Denmark one hundred and one
organizations have participated in the study.
Identical questionnaires and interviews are conducted in all of the mentioned countries and
the huge amount of data is analyzed in each country and across countries. The findings
will be published in books, journals and newspaper articles. Hopefully the findings of the
large European project will thus affect the way in which educational institutions and
organizations manage the "Europeanization" of management development.
The present report solely describes significant findings from the questionnaire study
conducted in Denmark. Two hundred and two managers have participated, that is two from
each organization. We thank the contributing organizations without which it would not have
been possible to generate this picture of management development in Danish
organizations.
The Department of Organization and Industrial Sociology at the Copenhagen Business
School is the Danish partner in the project. The project has been conducted by Camilla
Leth in collaboration with Ilse Kristensen, Mette Gundersen and Lea Green under the
supervision of Henrik Holt Larsen. Anne-Mette Hjalager has contributed to the preparation
of the report. |
