The vitality of a business enterprise is largely dependent upon the vigorous men who manage.
Great organizers build great dream-like enterprises with their dynamic leadership.
Take outmy machine, take over my building and capital but leave my men, again I shall
become Henry Ford. -Henry Ford
Management development programmes offer an opportunity to hone the skills of the practicing
mangers so that they can face the emerging challenges of the industry with confidence and push
their organization for achieving higher growth.1 The main objective of the management
development programmes is to provide insights into managerial concepts and techniques relevant
for formulating and implementing strategies in functional areas, and to improve the overall
perspective for decision-making by integrating functional and general management approaches.
The philosophy underlying these programmes is that Management is a rapidly growing and
diversifying area of competence and that every executive should continually expand and update
his/her knowledge, to remain at the peak of his/her profession. Our intensive short-term
programmes, during which the participants are exposed to the latest thinking and the newest
development in their field, provide executives with an opportunity to update themselves.2
Management Development Programmes for senior executive of company or organization are
also referred as Executive Development Programmes.

A classic definition is that Leaders do the right thing and managers do things right. A more
standard definition is usually something like managers work toward the organizations goals
using its resources in an effective and efficient manner. In a traditional sense, large
organizations may have different levels of managers, including top managers, middle managers
and first-line managers.
Top (or executive) managers are
responsible for overseeing the whole
organization and typically engage in more
strategic and conceptual matters, with less
attention to day-to-day detail. Top
managers have middle managers working
for them and who are in charge of a major function or department3. Middle managers may have
first-line managers working for them and who are responsible to manage the day-to-day
activities of a group of workers.
Note that you can also have different types of managers across the same levels in the
organization. A project manager is in charge of developing a certain project, e.g., development of
a new building.4 A functional manager is in charge of a major function, such as a department in
the organization, e.g., marketing, sales, engineering, finance, etc. (For example, see Program
Planning) A product manager is in charge of a product or service. Similarly, a product line
manager is in charge of a group of closely related products. General Managers are in charge of
numerous functions within an organization or department.

Executives as a term generally applies to those people or specific positions in top levels of
management, e.g., chief executive officers, chief operating officers, chief
financial officers, vice presidents, general managers of large organizations,
etc5. In large organizations, executives often have different forms of
compensation or pay, e.g., they receive portions of the company's stock,
receive executive-level "perks, etc. Chief executives usually pay strong
attention to strategic plans and organizational performance, whether measured financially or
from impact of services to a community. Many people think of the Chief Executive Officer as
heading up large, for-profit corporations. This is not entirely true. The majority of businesses in
the United States are small businesses, whether for-profit or nonprofit. Their top executives
could be called Chief Executive Officers.
Management Development refers to the activities involved in enhancing leaders', managers' and
supervisor's abilities to plan, organize, lead and control the organization and its members.
Consequently, many view the term "management development" to include executive
development (developing executives), leadership development (developing leaders), managerial
development (developing managers) and supervisorial development (developing supervisors).6
Management Development is best described as the process from which managers learn and
improve their skills not only to benefit themselves but also their employing organizations.
Executive Education is the term used for programs at graduate-level business schools that aim
to give classes for Chief Executives and other top managers or entrepreneurs. These programs do

not usually end in a degree, although there is an ever-growing number of an Executive MBA
program that are very similar and offer a Masters of Business Administration upon completion of
the coursework.
Executive Development
(Today's organizations are changing dramatically. Successful change requires strong leadership
from top positions in the organizations. Therefore, writers often interchange use of the phrases
"leadership development" with "executive development". They are not the same. As noted above,
this is handy, but it can cause substantial confusion.)
Executive development refers to the activities involved in enhancing one's ability to carry out
top-level roles in the organization. Some key skills for executives to have included understanding
the external environment of the organization, leadership, strategic planning, financial forecasting
and analysis, organizing, program planning and human resource management.7
Management Development Program for senior executives is the whole of activities aimed at
developing the skills and competencies of those that (will) have executive positions in
organizations. While "executive" and "manager" and "leader" is often used interchangeably,
"executive" is commonly used to signify the top 5% to 10% of the organization. Similarly,
"development" and "training" and "education" are often used as synonyms, however
7
Page 9
-
7/29/2019 48322966 HRM Project Final
10/41
"development" is generally seen as the most encompassing of the three in terms of activities that
build skills and competencies.8
While it is typical to find organizations that have dedicated corporate training & development
people and processes, it is not always the case that an organization will have a dedicated
executive development set of activities.
In some organizations (typically large multi-nationals), there is a separate executive development
team, in other organizations executive development is handled as one of many activities by the
larger corporate training group, and in yet other scenarios there is no executive development
activity to speak of.
In contrast to other corporate training & development activities, which have as their core purpose
to build tactical skills for employees, executive development plays a different role for the
organization. Indeed some executive development is conducted for the purpose of building
tactical skills (sometimes referred to as "hard skills" such as business fundamentals- finance,
marketing, operations and also "soft skills" such as communication and team building), yet
executive development is also used to evaluate future potential future executives as well as a
mechanism for the CEO and the executive team to cascade their strategies, goals, and even
elements of the culture to the rest of the management team and ultimately the organization. In the
best of cases, executive development not only helps an organization execute its key strategies, it
can also help provide input to the strategy creation process.

In this way, executive development is much more strategic than typical corporate training &
development which is used for most employees of an organization.
While executive development continues to become enriched by many approaches, one approach,
adult development and its subfield Positive Adult Development is beginning to create
opportunities for what has been essentially reserved for academic research to become an
increasing part of executive practices.
2. MANAGEMENT DEVELOPMENT PROGRAMES FOR
SR. EXECUTIVES: AN OVERVIEW
Raining and development are Intentional efforts to improve current and future performance by
helping the employees acquiring Skill, Knowledge, and Attitude required to give competitive
Advantage. Management development is also part of Training and Development
Training is the formal and systematic modification of behavior through learning which occurs as
a result of education, instruction, development and planned experience, while Development is
any learning activity, which is directed towards future, needs rather than present needs, and
which is concerned more with career growth than immediate performance.10
What is Management Development?
10

7/29/2019 48322966 HRM Project Final
12/41
Management development is a systematic process of growth and development by which the
managers develop their abilities to manage .So it is the
result of not only participation in formal courses of
instruction but also of actual job experience .It is
concerned with improving the performance of the
managers by giving them opportunities for growth and
development.11
Global economy is also experiencing increasing
clustering of some industries in the nations that have achieved disproportionate worldwide
success. This has consequently resulted in swift changes in the business environment and the
modern business world demands quality, ethics and excellence, properly injected into the
organization at the level of person, process, product and services. To cope with these changes,
core competency is identified and leverage for success and all this is made possible through
competitive, skilled and professional executives. This kind of changing management requires
training and development i.e. executive development. Technical skills are less important whereas
the conceptual skills are especially important at the top level12.
Executive development should not be viewed just as a capital investment and asset building for
the future but also as a tool of employee motivation and retention. It helps contribute in job
satisfaction and creates new roles and functions for existing employees of the organization13.

Therefore, the basic purpose of executive development program is to promote managerial
performance by imparting knowledge, changing behavior and enhancing professional and
attitudinal skills. Hence the knowledge is the need of the 21st century due to changing business
environment not only in India but also globally.
It is a systematic process of growth and development by which managers develop their abilities
to manage.
Executive development may be referred as systematic process of growth and development by
which the managers develop their abilities and managerial skills to manage. It is the result of not
only participation in formal courses of instruction but also of actual job experience .14 Evaluation
of executive development programs literally means the assessment of value and work. Therefore,
evaluation of executive development program may be defined as an attempt to obtain feedback
on the effects of development program, which helps to improve future development programs on
the basis of current experience. The important tools of evaluation of executive development
programs are observation, rating, trainee survey and trainee interviews, job satisfaction, morale,
promotions, results of behavioral changes such as increased sales, increased productivity and
efficiency.
There is a need to develop professionalism among the executives in order to face the global
competitive environment. Hence, every organization has to ask what are the competencies that
contribute for the effectiveness of executives ; their competencies used to be sharpened and this
needs appropriate training. Effectiveness itself helps in the achievement of organizational goals

Management Development Programs for senior Executives are referred as Executive
Development.
The term Executive Development is used essentially as an indication of a complex process of
raising managerial ability in order to improve the effectiveness of management actions.

provides for those who perform the management functions.15 This includes all members of
management from the president through all supervisory levels and staff personnel.

acquire an added relevance and a more central role in business operations and enterprise
management. These programmes prepare the candidate for Senior Executive Services.
Development programs offer a window of opportunity and provides a platform for young
executive development professionals to present innovative and new ideas that could further
stretch the envelope for executive development, besides also helping to devise effective
strategies for cracking perennial evaluation issues of the development programs like retention
and compensation patterns, improvement in taking the managerial decisions and skills, value
creation in employee-employers relationships and bridging the generation and gender gap.
Some of the players in the field of executive Education are: Business schools,Nonprofit

3. BASIC REQUISITS & INGRADIENTS OF
MDPS FOR SENIOR EXECUTIVES
The concept of executive development program is not new to the
world. It has flourished in the US and produced magnificent outcomes. However, in our country,
development program of executives is still in its formative stages. The Indian mindset needs to
change to adapt to this practice. A limited number of organizations have made use of this
development programs. It needs to be understood that development program is not always a
remedial measure but more of a developmental technique. Executive development is to socialize
the vision, values and mission of an organization.
SENIOR executives play a vital and significant role in the upper echelons of management. The
efficacy of their performance will determine the success or failure of an organization. As an
executive moves vertically in an organization, a metamorphosis takes place at some point of time
in the scope and scale of his job. When it happens, it is a paradigm shift and a jump.16

Practical demonstration.
Problem solving exercises.
Report Writing (Term Paper, Syndicate Paper)
Group Work.
The important steps or ingredients of a management development programs are:
1. Analysis of Organizational Present and Development Needs
2. Appraisal of Present Management Talent
3. Inventory of Management Manpower
4. Planning of Individual Development Programs
5. Establishment of development Programs
6. Evaluation of the programs
Analysis of Organizational Present and development Needs:
The decision to launch a management development programs having been made, the next
thing to do is the close and critical examination of organizational present and future
developmental needs. We should know how many and what type of managers are required to
meet the present and future needs. An examination of the organizational structure in the light
Page 17
-
7/29/2019 48322966 HRM Project Final
18/41
of the future plans of the organization should help one know what the organization requires
in terms of functions, departments and executive positions.
Having got the above the information it is easy to prepare the descriptions and specifications
for all management positions which in turn, gives us the information as to the kind of
education, experience, training, special knowledge, skills and personal traits required for
each job..
Appraisal of Present Management Talent:
In order to make the above suggested comparison, a qualitative assessment of the existing
management talent should be made and an estimate of their potential for development should
be added to that. Only then can it be compared with the projected required talent.
Inventory of Management Manpower:
This is prepared to have complete information about each executive in each position. For
each member of the management team, a card is prepared listing such data as name, age,
length of service, education, work experience, training courses completed, health record,
psychological test results and performance appraisal data etc. The selection of the individuals
for the management development programs is made on the basis of the kind of background
they possess. The management may set certain standards in terms of each of the above
factors mentioned on the cards to qualify for the management development programs.
Such information when analyzed discloses the strengths as well as the deficiencies of
managers in certain functions relative to the future needs of the organization.

19/41
Planning of Individual development Program:
Guided by the results of the performance appraisal which indicate the strengths and
weaknesses of each of his subordinates the executive performs this activity of planning of
individual development programs. Each of us has unique set of physical, intellectual,
emotional characteristics. Therefore, a development plan should be tailor-made for each
individual.
It would be possible to impart knowledge, skills and mould behavior of human beings, but it
would be difficult to change the basic personality and temperament of a person once he
reaches adulthood stage.
Establishment of Development Program:
It is the duty of the HR department to establish the well-conceived development
opportunities.
The HR department has to identify the existing level of skills, knowledge etc, of various
executives and compares them with their respective job requirements. Thus, it identifies
developmental needs and will establish specific development programs like leadership
courses, Management games, and Sensitivity training. The department may not be in a
position to organize development programs for executives at the top level as could be

organized by reputed institutes of management. In such situations, top management deputes
certain individuals to the executive development programs organized by the reputed
institutes.

ANALYSIS 2- Role of management development programs in job affectivity.
Researchers Interpretation through available data is that in the past, a companys assets were
more tangible; however, with the growth of the knowledge economy, much of a companys
assets now reside in the technical and industry-specific expertise of its associates and executive
team.As a result, the search for a sustainable competitive edge led the organization to conclude
that the development of human resources and capabilities would be more difficult for
competitors to imitate.
He is expected to be a jack of all trades, and master of a few
Executive education in MDPs for top level managers plays a very significant role in
strengthening the base of organization. Executive education strives to enhance:
The well-trained executives skill set,
Assertiveness,
Strategic thinking, while
Sharpening analytical skills,
Communication strategies, and
Leadership principles
Page 27

7/29/2019 48322966 HRM Project Final
28/41
According to the Interview it has following effects on job affectivity
Behavioral change - inclination towards positive thinking.
Increase in efficiency of Executives to play there respective roles. They need to play the roles
of goal setters, planners, controllers, coordinators, organization designers, leaders, etc.
Studies of what senior managers actually do at work led to the identification of several
distinctive roles such as the figurehead, leader, and liaison roles, monitor, disseminator,
and spokesperson roles, and entrepreneur, disturbance handler, resource allocator, and
negotiator roles.
Previously the executives of BHEL does not stayed in department after 5 p.m but now the
trend has changed they work as competitively as private organizations managers and
work till they complete the task of day. Thus delay in work has reduced.
ANALYSIS 3- The benefits and outcome of MDPs for organization.
Insight skills provide the learner with the ability to learn the right things from experience.
Developing disciplined and structured approaches to evaluating personal experiences generates
continuous learning. This desired outcome is consistent with the lifelong learning model
Insight skills capture reflective qualities that require objectivity, facts, and the continuous search
for disconfirming evidence.
Insight skills illuminate the less-obvious solution and strategies, and often lead to thoughts,
ideas, and approach in stark contrast to reactionary and predisposedhypotheses that are often
biased by limited experience.

Benefit of executive education in the organization as interpreted by the researcher is towards:
(1) Gain a greater understanding of competition,
(2) Expose executives to experts and information,
(3) Develop corporate culture,
(4) Provide networking opportunities,
(5) Provides a forum for discussion and ideas,
(6) Provide interaction with management,
(7) Provide education in a timely manner, and
(8) Complement other educational opportunities.
Other various benefits of MDPs are that the Executives acquire a number of important skills,
Including:
Strategic planning and thinking: The simulation involves the setting of objectives and the
development of a detailed plan of activities that are interconnected, time-phased, and
financially sustainable. In particular, strategic thinking requires an understanding of
tactical options and how one can skillfully select and coordinate these options in order to
achieve a desired objective;
Management strategy: Managers who formulate strategy must be focused, flexible, and
fast; they must also be capable of recognizing fundamental shifts in business conditions.
Moreover, it is essential that the manager explore new possibilities by developing and
testing ideas, in both the company and the market, and that he/she is ready and able to
reallocate resources when conditions require the firm to move in new directions;
Page 29
-
7/29/2019 48322966 HRM Project Final
30/41
Leadership, teamwork, and interpersonal skills: Participants who lead teams during
simulations must assess the teams skills, organize the work, manage the work in process,
and reorganize as needed. This leader must help the team to become more cohesive,
create a sense of mutual commitment and trust, nurture the talents and capabilities of
team members, and help participants develop team skills. The simulation can be tense
because team members do not forget whose ideas were accepted and whose were not.
They also remember whose ideas helped the organization, as well as whose held it back
or even damaged its potential. In the end, simulations require all team members to
develop communication skills and learn the arts of negotiation and confrontation;
Budgeting and Cash-Flow Management: The management of resources usually translates
into the management of money. Cash-flow management is perhaps the most difficult
technical skill to master. One of the advantages of the simulation is that all decisions are
tied in to the income statement, balance sheet, and cash-flow statement. Oftentimes,
participants learn to carefully manage receipts and disbursements and to project their
cash-flow requirements several quarters into the future;
Understanding and Delivering of Customer Value: Simulations can help participants gain
an understanding of how a particular component or service translates into a benefit for the
customer. Moreover, participants can experience the dilemma created when its products
are imitated by competitors and customer expectations shift upward. In the end,
participants should become proficient in understanding the market and responding to and
anticipating market needs.

Evolution of leadership:Organizational politics is an undesirable and yet inevitable aspect of
corporate life, but not many senior executives are able to adjust and reconcile to this reality. It is
intriguing that even management thinkers and academic scholars seem to be shy of this subject.
Developing leadership skills issine qua non for a senior executive. His leadership style must be
aligned to the strategic complexion of the company. The style may be different in a company
undergoing a major expansion, as against a company which is consolidating its activities, or
merely carrying on its current volume of business.
Communication of vision:it becomes critical to project a clear vision, a picture of what
the company will look like in the distant future. It is the senior executive responsibility to
create and communicate such a vision, or an end state for an organization. At a senior
level, the number of employees an executive has to oversee is likely to be large and,
therefore, his interaction with them will be limited and indirect. Nevertheless, he is
charged with the task of motivating them. He must gain their loyalty and commitment for
the fulfillment of the company goals. Moreover, employee morale is usually an early
casualty to any structural transformation. MDP advance his communication with team.
Analysis of external environment and pronouncement:Senior executives should develop
a holistic understanding of the external economic environment, and the myriad changes
taking place therein. What does this involve? A complex environment warrants a
complex method of analysis. In large organizations, this competitive analysis is done by
specialist business planners. But the planners will only make available the findings and
conclusions of their study: It is the senior executive who must digest the gist and guide

further course of action. Executive education develops the decision making and
strategically thinking of Top level managers
Development is a qualitative transformation into a higher state of being; it is a transition
to a new dimension of executive competence. It is the audacity and capacity to challenge
and change entrenched patterns of thought and behavior.
Another benefit is that Executive becomes adept at the processes of analysis, planning,
execution, and control.
Organization gets more effective decision-making and problem solving.

communicate and implement corporate strategy, to build strategic unity throughout the company,
and to create a cadre of change agents. Business performance improvements measured in money
values, tracked back in part to and compared with full training and development costs. Education
on ethics helps in reducing White color crimes. Executive development leads to Innovation in
organization culture and business process re- engineering Initiatives.

6. CONCLUSION
Management Development Program is an in-depth professional intervention, which enhances
managerial functioning through multiple interactions with key executives, one-on-one or in
groups. Development is more effective when it includes senior level officials, as it then helps
change mind-set, and influence behavior throughout their organizations. It is customized to the
specific needs of employees, is based on on-the-job experience, has direct application to work
situations and thrives on the feedback of participants. The exercise involves continual guidance,
follow-ups and learning.
By doing an intensive study on the various parameters to evaluate the effectiveness of the
executive development programs the researcher concluded that the executives are the dynamic
life-giving element in a business.
The caliber and performance of managers will largely determine the success of a business. If the
business wants to improve the quality of its managers, it must make a considerable investment on
its human resource and introduce imaginative and systematic development schemes for them-in
which managers themselves play a crucial role. All enterprises need to devote great attention to
the continuous supply of their future managers, both functional and general.
Management of most Indian companies which are striving to become major players in their
sectors are immersed in day-to-day issues and often do not devote adequate time and effort to

build long-term strength in their organizations. The executive developer or instructor is the
catalyst encouraging and supporting the CEO and his team to build an effective management.
Executive development program embodies professionalism in executives through correct,
deliberate and objective application of knowledge, skills and attitudes towards the
accomplishment of a set of objectives.
BHEL is major player in power sector. it is obvious that there is almost a consensus and Strategy
that proper and well prepared executive development program can assist in achieving the
sustainable growth rate personally and professionally, the image of which you can see in the
mirror of an organization as a drastic and balanced growth which shows a bright future and a
long journey for the organization and executives.
Executive development program is an investment in human resource with a promise of better
returns in future. A companys executive development program pays dividends to the executives
and the organization by leads to enhance profitability and more positive attitude towards profit
orientation. It improves the job knowledge and skills at all levels of the organization. At last, the
researcher concluded that the executive development programs will return values to the
organizations in terms of increased productivity heightened morale, reduced costs, greater
organizational stability and flexibility to adopt the rapid changing business environment.
Change is the name of the game in which a senior executive is put to an acid test. The bad news
is that it has a beginning, but the end never seems to be in sight. There is an intrinsic danger that
people have a propensity to relax and turn complacent after the trauma of going through a

massive change programme. Like termite to timber, this malaise may not be transparent, until
much damage has already been done below the surface.
It is the will and skill to stay in and sustain the game, despite no respite, which will take the
company to the top; and then, to retain it there may be a different ball game altogether; but the
key player everywhere will be the senior executive
7. RECOMMENDATIONS

Evaluation of training must be made a compulsory part of training.
At present BHEL spends just about 0.05%. The expenditure on training must be increased in
order to improve its turn over.
Executive Training in BHEL is not much advanced up to levels of Private Firms Like TATA,
and Reliance there Mangers also go to foreign universities but there is no occasion of Foreign
education for BHEL executives.

very difficult job and he was not able to give much time to me.
There was lack of time in field study as this project requires comprehensive
discussions with the Managers. And the rule of deemed attendance is already
