Revitalising organisations in developing countries: the case of an administrative training institute
Article Abstract:
An administrative training institute, unlike business organizations, has to use its existing resources because it is restrained from expanding its financial and manpower base. In developing countries, such a training organization is seen to be in dire need of revitalization because of its failure to positively influence national decision making. A direction towards reform would involve the hiring of appropriate faculty and ensuring that creativity is encouraged in the organization. The usual approach of target setting by an elite group of planners is not effective for this kind of organization. A more holistic method is required wherein team effort is fully harnessed.
