jin-company program may well be simply a reiteration of
i company ideas, policies, and practices, whether or not they
may represent the participant’s own personal philosophy.
The climate existing within a company program frequently
tends to impede the true interchange of thought and
experience by discouraging flexibility and change. Dominance,
lack of interest, or authority often interferes to
a much greater extent that would be true in a university
program, no matter how ideally an in-company program may
attempt to do otherwise.
Almost 10 per cent of those responding to the
questionnaires specified "isolation from the usual environment
and freedom to express their personal views and
opinions" as the single biggest advantage or value in
university training. Several executives, in personal interviews
with the writer, corroborated Professor Anshen's
findings. They stated that one of the biggest obstacles
to accomplishment in programs conducted within the company
was the real, or imagined, fear of expressing their
personal opinions, when these opinions differed with the
accepted ways of "doing business" in their companies.
These executives felt that participation in a university
program, with its lack of identification with any particular
company, encouraged the free expression of ideas by
participants.
