As executives operate over a period of time within
a single functional area or activity, their thinking tends
to become oriented to that particular function or activity,
rather than to the needs and objectives of the company as a
whole. The development of a company or organizational Ii
point of view, rather than a specialized point of view, i
should be an important element of an executive development
program. Such a point of view, however, is not, in the
minds of many company executives, accomplished by participation
in outside courses, but rather by bringing together
one firm’s executives to discuss common problems. 5 The
J value inherent in the practicality of an in-company programj
jin building an organizational point of view tended to be
jsubstantiated. by the results of the questionnaire. In
response to the question “Do you feel that in-company or
^university type programs are more adequate in building an
organizational point of view?” over 69 per cent responded
ithat an in-company program was the most effective means by
which this could be achieved.
Decision-making in a university course is essentially
a game in the minds of participants, while decisionmaking
inside the firm, with real people and facilities
|i nvolved and real profits at stake, is a more serious g
pnd ertaking.
