Abstract: Abstract I have a hunch that management development is on the verge of one of those step-changes in history that all institutions experience from time to time. The difficulty in writing about it is that management development is not a stable concept. What it means depends upon what ‘management’ means; upon what ‘managers’ are supposed to be, and do. Since the word ‘manage’ established itself in the English language in the 16th century, it has meant a variety of things to different people at different times.1
