Management development in the public sector - what roles can universities play? 

 -  2000 
<br/><br/> The 1990s have seen wide-ranging culture changes throughout the public sector, introducing a business focus and a customer-ed approach, resulting in the recognition that organisations must invest training and development in their greatest asset - their staff. In this context, there is a growing trend to use universities a external providers of training and development, reflecting the need for continuous professional development, for flexibility and for contiunous adaptability to change. Explores a spectrum of partnership arrangements between universities and public sector organisations, and discusses the mutually beneficial outcomes which can result, including the development of continuous learning, culture change, organisations development initiatives and appropriate rstructuring. Presents three case studies to illustrate these developmental partnerships and concludes by offerig significant learning points to those public sector organisations planning similar partnerships to facilitate management development
