INTRODUCTION
Managers are exposed to learning opportunities whilst doing their jobs, if this informal
learning is used as a formal process then it is regarded as management development.
The vitality of a business enterprise is largely dependent upon the vigorous men who manage.
Great organizers build great dream-like enterprises with their dynamic leadership.
“Take out my machine, take over my building and capital but leave my men, again I shall
become Henry Ford.” -Henry Ford
Management development programmes offer an opportunity to hone the skills of the practicing
mangers so that they can face the emerging challenges of the industry with confidence and push
their organization for achieving higher growth.1 The main objective of the management
development programmes is to provide insights into managerial concepts and techniques relevant
for formulating and implementing strategies in functional areas, and to improve the overall
perspective for decision-making by integrating functional and general management approaches.
The philosophy underlying these programmes is that Management is a rapidly growing and
diversifying area of competence and that every executive should continually expand and update
his/her knowledge, to remain at the peak of his/her profession. Our intensive short-term
programmes, during which the participants are exposed to the latest thinking and the newest
development in their field, provide executives with an opportunity to update themselves.2

A classic definition is that “Leaders do the right thing and managers do things right.” A more
standard definition is usually something like “managers work toward the organization’s goals
using its resources in an effective and efficient manner.” In a traditional sense, large
organizations may have different levels of managers, including top managers, middle managers
and first-line managers.
Note that you can also have different types of managers across the same levels in the
organization. A project manager is in charge of developing a certain project, e.g., development of
a new building.4 A functional manager is in charge of a major function, such as a department in
the organization, e.g., marketing, sales, engineering, finance, etc. (For example, see Program
Planning) A product manager is in charge of a product or service. Similarly, a product line
manager is in charge of a group of closely related products. General Managers are in charge of
numerous functions within an organization or department.
Executives as a term generally applies to those people or specific positions in top levels of
management, e.g., chief executive officers, chief operating officers, chief
financial officers, vice presidents, general managers of large organizations,
etc5. In large organizations, executives often have different forms of

compensation or pay, e.g., they receive portions of the company's stock, receive executive-level
"perks, etc. Chief executives usually pay strong attention to strategic plans and organizational
performance, whether measured financially or from impact of services to a community. Many
people think of the Chief Executive Officer as heading up large, for-profit corporations. This is
not entirely true. The majority of businesses in the United States are small businesses, whether
for-profit or nonprofit. Their top executives could be called Chief Executive Officers.
Management Development refers to the activities involved in enhancing leaders', managers' and
supervisor's abilities to plan, organize, lead and control the organization and
its members. Consequently, many view the term "management
development" to include executive development (developing executives),
leadership development (developing leaders), managerial development
(developing managers) and supervisorial development (developing
supervisors).6 Management Development is best described as the process
from which managers learn and improve their skills not only to benefit
themselves but also their employing organizations.
Executive Education is the term used for programs at graduate-level business schools that aim
to give classes for Chief Executives and other top managers or entrepreneurs. These programs do
not usually end in a degree, although there is an ever-growing number of an Executive MBA
program that are very similar and offer a Masters of Business Administration upon completion of
the coursework.
Executive Development
(Today's organizations are changing dramatically. Successful change requires strong leadership
from top positions in the organizations. Therefore, writers often interchange use of the phrases
"leadership development" with "executive development". They are not the same. As noted above,
this is handy, but it can cause substantial confusion.)

Executive development refers to the activities involved in enhancing one's ability to carry out
top-level roles in the organization. Some key skills for executives to have included understanding
the external environment of the organization, leadership, strategic planning, financial forecasting
and analysis, organizing, program planning and human resource management.7
Management Development Program for senior executives is the whole of activities aimed at
developing the skills and competencies of those that (will) have executive positions in
organizations. While "executive" and "manager" and "leader" is often used interchangeably,
"executive" is commonly used to signify the top 5% to 10% of the organization. Similarly,
"development" and "training" and "education" are often used as synonyms, however
"development" is generally seen as the most encompassing of the three in terms of activities that
build skills and competencies.8
In contrast to other corporate training & development activities, which have as their core purpose
to build tactical skills for employees, executive development plays a different role for the
organization. Indeed some executive development is conducted for the purpose of building

tactical skills (sometimes referred to as "hard skills" such as business fundamentals- finance,
marketing, operations and also "soft skills" such as communication and team building), yet
executive development is also used to evaluate future potential future executives as well as a
mechanism for the CEO and the executive team to cascade their strategies, goals, and even
elements of the culture to the rest of the management team and ultimately the organization. In the
best of cases, executive development not only helps an organization execute its key strategies, it
can also help provide input to the strategy creation process. 9
In this way, executive development is much more strategic than typical corporate training &
development which is used for most employees of an organization.
While executive development continues to become enriched by many approaches, one approach,
adult development and its subfield Positive Adult Development is beginning to create
opportunities for what has been essentially reserved for academic research to become an
increasing part of executive practices.

Training is the formal and systematic modification of behavior through learning which occurs as
a result of education, instruction, development and planned experience, while Development is
any learning activity, which is directed towards future, needs rather than present needs, and
which is concerned more with career growth than immediate performance.10
Executive development should not be viewed just as a capital investment and asset building for
the future but also as a tool of employee motivation and retention. It helps contribute in job
satisfaction and creates new roles and functions for existing employees of the organization13.

Therefore, the basic purpose of executive development program is to promote managerial
performance by imparting knowledge, changing behavior and enhancing professional and
attitudinal skills. Hence the knowledge is the need of the 21st century due to changing business
environment not only in India but also globally.
It is a systematic process of growth and development by which managers develop their abilities
to manage.
There is a need to develop professionalism among the executives in order to face the global
competitive environment. Hence, every organization has to ask what are the competencies that
contribute for the effectiveness of executives; their competencies used to be sharpened and this
needs appropriate training. Effectiveness itself helps in the achievement of organizational goals

acquire an added relevance and a more central role in business operations and enterprise
management. These programmes prepare the candidate for Senior
Executive Services.
Some of the players in the field of executive Education are: Business schools, Nonprofit
organizations, Corporate universities, Foundations Trade associations, Consulting firms,
Freelance educators, Online learning companies.

BASIC REQUISITS & INGRADIENTS OF MDP’S FOR
SENIOR EXECUTIVES
The concept of executive development program is not new to the world. It has flourished in the
US and produced magnificent outcomes. However, in our country, development program of
executives is still in its formative stages. The Indian mindset needs to change to adapt to this
practice. A limited number of organizations have made use of this development programs. It
15
en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Executive_development as visited 0n 12 sept. 2008
NATIONAL LAW UNIVERSITY, JODHPUR Page 13
needs to be understood that development program is not always a remedial measure but more of
a developmental technique. Executive development is to socialize the vision, values and mission
of an organization.
SENIOR executives play a vital and significant role in the upper echelons of management. The
efficacy of their performance will determine the success or failure of an organization. As an
executive moves vertically in an organization, a metamorphosis takes place at some point of time
in the scope and scale of his job. When it happens, it is a paradigm shift and a jump.16
There are some basic competencies which are very essential in Development aspect of senior
Executives and to outperform competitors. These 7 workplace competencies are:
1. Learning to learn;
2. Communication and collaboration;
3. Creative thinking and problem-solving;
4. Technological literacy;
5. Global business literacy;
6. Leadership development;
7. Career self-management.
For Executive development programs basically following methodologies are applied:
Lesson by both in-house and guest faculty.
Case study.
Films.
Group discussion.
Simulation exercise.
Seminars.

Practical demonstration.
Group Work.
The decision to launch a management development programs having been made, the next
thing to do is the close and critical examination of organizational present and future
developmental needs. We should know how many and what type of managers are required to
meet the present and future needs. An examination of the organizational structure in the light
of the future plans of the organization should help one know what the organization requires
in terms of functions, departments and executive positions.
Having got the above the information it is easy to prepare the descriptions and specifications
for all management positions which in turn, gives us the information as to the kind of
education, experience, training, special knowledge, skills and personal traits required for
each job..
In order to make the above suggested comparison, a qualitative assessment of the existing
management talent should be made and an estimate of their potential for development should
be added to that. Only then can it be compared with the projected required talent.
This is prepared to have complete information about each executive in each position. For
each member of the management team, a card is prepared listing such data as name, age,
length of service, education, work experience, training courses completed, health record,
psychological test results and performance appraisal data etc. The selection of the individuals
for the management development programs is made on the basis of the kind of background
they possess. The management may set certain standards in terms of each of the above
factors mentioned on the cards to qualify for the management development programs.
Such information when analyzed discloses the strengths as well as the deficiencies of
managers in certain functions relative to the future needs of the organization.
Guided by the results of the performance appraisal which indicate the strengths and
weaknesses of each of his subordinates the executive performs this activity of planning of
individual development programs. Each of us has unique set of physical, intellectual,
emotional characteristics. Therefore, a development plan should be tailor-made for each
individual.
It would be possible to impart knowledge, skills and mould behavior of human beings, but it
would be difficult to change the basic personality and temperament of a person once he
reaches adulthood stage.
The HR department has to identify the existing level of skills, knowledge etc, of various
executives and compares them with their respective job requirements. Thus, it identifies
developmental needs and will establish specific development programs like leadership
courses, Management games, and Sensitivity training. The department may not be in a
position to organize development programs for executives at the top level as could be
organized by reputed institutes of management. In
such situations, top management deputes certain
individuals to the executive development programs
organized by the reputed institutes.

FIELD STUDY AND DATA TABULATION
This part of this little piece of work is the soul of the whole paper. I approached Mr. Manoj
Sharma, the Human Resource manager at New Delhi of Bharat Heavy Electrical Limited
situated at Siri Fort road, New Delhi for carrying out my field study.
I explained my topic to him and submitted my synopsis. He was very passionate listener. He
responded to all my questions and explained all quarries. The questionnaire attached as
“Annexure” was the chief tool for the field study. But total exercise consisted of an interview of
Mr. Manoj that I recorded based on the questions in the questionnaires and which was later
converted in questionnaire form for the analysis. The relevant extracts of the questionnaire based
interview of Mr. Manoj are as follows:
Q1} Sir, Can you briefly explain what is meant by executive development and what is its
significance?
Q3} How many Training Programs for senior executives take place every year?
It varies from year to years, generally it reach up to 15 to 20 programs and about same number of
seminars and conferences are attended by executives externally
Basically In-house programs are for 5 to 7 days according to need of program. Some programs
are arranged outside are of 2 or 3 days which Include Conferences, Symposiums and Workshops
in Premier Management institutes and Industrial organizations like FICCI,CII,NASSCOM,
ASSOCHAM etc.
Q5} whether these programs are part of HR field or separate from main stream
Management function?
In the field of Human Resource Management, the training and development function is part of
rather than separate from mainstream management responsibilities, and plays a crucial role in
maintaining the high quality of a company’s employees. Executive development programs are
planned learning experience that teaches the executives how to perform their current as well as
future jobs more efficiently and effectively. Executive development programs are designed to
improve the organizational performance through enhancing knowledge and skills of the
executives It is essential that all the activities relating to executive development programs should
be in time with the specific needs of both the organization and the executives
Q6} Can you explain the basic frame work of Training programs conducted for senior
executives?
Training programs include general management, behavioral science and functional management.
For behavioral sciences, HRDI has specially trained some of its employees from the Institute of
Human Behavior and Allied Sciences, Delhi. "Our aim is to inculcate strong leadership
qualities," "because successful team leaders not only envision future goals and objectives, they
also enlist the support of others in achieving them. Managers, particularly at the top level, get so
engrossed in executing orders that they forget the other objectives."
Q7} Is there any change in Trend of executive education pattern in your Organization?
For the past few years the focus of the executive development has been shifting from preparing
managers to fill higher level positions to preparing them to meet the challenges of managing in a
fast paced environment. Therefore, the emphasis is on developing a manager’s ability to learn
and make decisions under conditions of rapid changes. The ultimate aim of such development
program is of course, to enhance the future performance of the organization itself.
Q9} What is basic focus of Management development Programs for senior Executives?
They are made to grip the quality of making balance between work life and personal life as the
senior executive have huge amount of responsibilities. That is more than personal life.
Q10} Does the organization arrange Management development programs for senior
Executives of different Departments in another way?
Yes, the BHEL arrange In-house and External Development programs for its Senior executives
differently.
BIM, Tiruchchirappalli, NITIE, Mumbai, IIT Kharagpur, IIM Kolkata, XLRI, TISS, ILI Delhi,
DCE Delhi, NIT hamirpur etc.
Our Executive also goes to Talks and Symposiums arranged by Ministries of GOI, ISRO
DRDO, CIPET, Chennai
Q11} How does the HR department come to know about requirements of Training and
Development of senior executives?
Performance management identifies what are called "performance gaps", differences between
what an employee is accomplishing, and what we need the employee to accomplish. These gaps
should be linked to business results.
It so happens that the purpose of training is to reduce "gaps" -- gaps in skills (what the employee
needs to be able to do, and what the employee can do), or performance gaps.
So, the information from a proper performance management system is important in identifying
performance gaps, and then deciding whether training will reduce those gaps. In effect, the
performance management system serves to identify training needs and does so by referencing
business needs. Performance management is the starting point for determining relevant training,
not only for an individual employee but across the entire organization.
Performance management identifies performance gaps --> Solutions for reducing performance
gaps are examined --> When training is indicated, further analysis results in more specific
specifications of what training is required and how it should be set up.
Q12} What are benefits of Executive development does it plays any role in job affectivity.
Yes, definitely it has increased the efficiency of our leaders, after attending MDP with managers
of private Organizations in Premier Institutions with whom we have tie ups, our executive also
perform competitively and even work after office hours. And there are other associated benefits
that I have already told you, that help in doing job effectively.
He works as a good Motivator for his subordinates and also performs rapidly in uncertain events
where crucial decisions are required to be taken. Ultimately it transforms the work culture.
Our long history shows we never had any white collar crime in our organization this is due to
regular executive education on ethical issues in BHEL.
Effectively in job is also evident from the fact that our all units meet objectives in Time.
India's largest engineering and manufacturing enterprise conducts regular training programs for
its executives to develop them into fulfilled individuals and effective managers. And also
complying with NTP for power sector.
By the analysis and interpretation of the data collected from the respondent it reveals that the
Executive Development in BHEL can be divided into two types
This type include management development programmes conducted in institutions with whom
BHEL has tie up and in Organizations who sponsor MDP’s and Executive Training Sessions.
According to data collected from field study BHEL have tie ups with many institutions and also
send there executives to external organization.
BIM-Tiruchchirappalli has symbiotic relationship with BHEL since its inception in 1984BIM
conducts a number of Executive Development Programs for BHEL in the areas of Corporate
Finance, Marketing and Organizational Behaviour.
There are many Management development programs for premier institutes with whom BHEL
have collaborated and BHEL also send its executives to National and International Symposiums
for raising the global Knowledge of business.
The institutions where executives of BHEL are invited to attend symposiums and Conferences
are:
FICCI
CII
ASSOCHAM
NASSCOM
ILI
IIM, KOLKATA
NITIE, MUMBAI
SCOPE
Ministries
ISRO
DRDO
CIPET, Chennai
BHEL has its own Human Recourse Development Institute which provides rigorous training to
its managers at each and every rank. The Institute provides Training in the field of Strategic
management, Contract management, Marketing management, Project management, Human
Resource management, Activity based costing, Performance management, Emotional
Intelligence, Values Laboratory, Human-process Laboratory, Leadership Development, Team
Building, Trainer Development, and other functional and behavioral areas of management.
To optimize the use of emerging information techniques in management, initiatives have been
taken to constitute three areas of excellence viz.
• Business development
• Organization development
• Technology development
At the Noida institute, senior employees are trained other managers are trained else where like in
Hyderabad. The centre has also collaboration with institutions for education on business ethics
and upliftment of moral values of senior executives. The Brahmakumaris being the HRDI
favorite. There are yoga and meditation classes to create harmony.
Today, even foreign companies recognize the need for emotional intelligence. More important
than the IQ or technical skills is the EQ. It ensures effective leadership The executive are also
given Tips about same. They are made to look into their goals, motivation, relationships,
communication and social skills.
In BHEL every month conferences are organized on recent power related Issues to Increase the
Knowledge of Executives relating to Emerging Issues.
Researchers Interpretation through available data is that in the past, a company’s assets were
more tangible; however, with the growth of the knowledge economy, much of a company’s
assets now reside in the technical and industry-specific expertise of its associates and executive
team. As a result, the search for a sustainable competitive edge led the organization to conclude
that the development of human resources and capabilities would be more difficult for
competitors to imitate.
• He is expected to be a jack of all trades, and master of a few
Executive education in MDP’s for top level managers’ plays a very significant role in
strengthening the base of organization. Executive education strives to enhance:
The well-trained executive’s skill set,
Insight skills provide the learner with the ability to learn the right things from experience.
Developing disciplined and structured approaches to evaluating personal experiences generates
continuous learning. This desired outcome is consistent with the lifelong learning model…
Insight skills capture reflective qualities that require objectivity, facts, and the continuous search
for disconfirming evidence.
Insight skills illuminate the less-obvious solution and strategies, and often lead to thoughts,
ideas, and approach in stark contrast to reactionary and predisposed hypotheses that are often
biased by limited experience.
Benefit of executive education in the organization as interpreted by the researcher is towards:
(1) Gain a greater understanding of competition,
Management strategy: Managers who formulate strategy must be focused, flexible, and
fast; they must also be capable of recognizing fundamental shifts in business conditions.
Moreover, it is essential that the manager explore new possibilities by developing and
testing ideas, in both the company and the market, and that he/she is ready and able to
reallocate resources when conditions require the firm to move in new directions;
Leadership, teamwork, and interpersonal skills: Participants who lead teams during
simulations must assess the team’s skills, organize the work, manage the work in process,
and reorganize as needed. This leader must help the team to become more cohesive,
create a sense of mutual commitment and trust, nurture the talents and capabilities of
team members, and help participants develop team skills. The simulation can be tense
because team members do not forget whose ideas were accepted and whose were not.
They also remember whose ideas helped the organization, as well as whose held it back
or even damaged its potential. In the end, simulations require all team members to
develop communication skills and learn the arts of negotiation and confrontation;
Another benefit is that Executive becomes adept at the processes of analysis, planning,
execution, and control.
FUTHER, there are some more competencies which are improved and Refreshed
by Executive Training Which are as follows:
Conflict Management
Motivation
Personality Development
Work Life Balance
The outcome is that top management like CEOs discover that they often are better positioned to
communicate and implement corporate strategy, to build strategic unity throughout the company,
and to create a cadre of change agents. Business performance improvements measured in money
values, tracked back in part to and compared with full training and development costs. Education
on ethics helps in reducing White color crimes. Executive development leads to Innovation in
organization culture and business process re- engineering Initiatives.
By doing an intensive study on the various parameters to evaluate the effectiveness of the
executive development programs the researcher concluded that the executives are the dynamic
life-giving element in a business.
The caliber and performance of managers will largely determine the success of a business. If the
business wants to improve the quality of its managers, it must make a considerable investment on
its human resource and introduce imaginative and systematic development schemes for them-in
which managers themselves play a crucial role. All enterprises need to devote great attention to
the continuous supply of their future managers, both functional and general.
BHEL is major player in power sector. it is obvious that there is almost a consensus and Strategy
that proper and well prepared executive development program can assist in achieving the
sustainable growth rate personally and professionally, the image of which you can see in the
mirror of an organization as a drastic and balanced growth which shows a bright future and a
long journey for the organization and executives.
Change is the name of the game in which a senior executive is put to an acid test. The bad news
is that it has a beginning, but the end never seems to be in sight. There is an intrinsic danger that
people have a propensity to relax and turn complacent after the trauma of going through a
massive change programme. Like termite to timber, this malaise may not be transparent, until
much damage has already been done below the surface.
It is the will and skill to stay in and sustain the game, despite no respite, which will take the
company to the top; and then, to retain it there may be a different ball game altogether; but the
key player everywhere will be the senior executive
• At present BHEL spends just about 0.05%. The expenditure on training must be increased in
order to improve its turn over.
• Executive Training in BHEL is not much advanced up to levels of Private firms Like TATA,
and Reliance there Mangers also go to foreign universities but there is no occasion of Foreign
education for BHEL executives.

LIMITATIONS
As the BHEL is very big Organization to engage a meeting with HR manager was
very difficult job and he was not able to give much time to me.
There was lack of time in field study as this project requires comprehensive
discussions with the Managers. And the rule of deemed attendance is already
scraped in the university, so, researcher was not able to give more time of field
visits.
