A study was completed to determine the effects of learning generic management principles with 48 college students. Results indicate that generic learning can be fostered without adversely affecting the learning of management principles specific to either business or public administration. Similar generic learning did not take place in a control group consisting of 39 students. A discussion of generic management and implications for further study are offered.
