| Title : | The making of managers | | Material Type: | printed text | | Authors: | Tom Cox, Author | | Publisher: | Cork : Oak Tree Press | | Publication Date: | 2002 | | ISBN (or other code): | 978-1-86076-240-6 | | Class number: | 658.4 | | Abstract: | The fifty year history of the Irish Management Institution coincides with that of the modern Irish aconomy. Both had their origins in the 1950s when professional confident business managers were few and the industrial post-war Irish landscape was sparse. The Making of Managers records how a handful of idealists tackeled the bleak scenario and guided Ireland into the management age, helping to create a capability that made possible the full exploitation of the Lemass/Whitaker inward investment strategy, the basis of the modern economic success story. It tracks the shift from protectionism to the single market. It recounts how in the critical decades of 1960s and 70s the IMI partnered government in tackling the depressing managerial deficit uncovered by the committee on industrial organisation and others on the way to common market entry. It also tells of the IMIs role in the development of management education in the universities and other third-level collages. This book provides a fascinating insight into the development and workings of an organisation that has been vital to shaping the modern Irish economy. | | Contents note: | 1. The context 2.
