The Implications for Organizations of In-House Management Qualifications
研究了一家自治医院信托基金自行开展国家职业资格管理文凭项目的经验，分析了内部认证管理开发中的政治问题，指出高层管理者可能将其用作替代性活动而非赋能活动。
Changes in the types of management qualifications available potentially provides greater opportunity for organizations to undertake accredited management development activities in-house rather than using business schools. However, organizations have little experience of doing this and need to think through the implications of attempting it. This article describes the experience of a self-governing hospital trust (SGHT) in running its own management National Vocational Qualification level 5/Diploma in Management programme. The SGHT's experience is analysed using Simpson et al. `s (1994) framework of issues concerning the implications of accredited versus non-accredited management development. `Political' issues related to resourcing accredited programmes, resentment by senior management, role conflict for in-house training staff, and the power in-house accredited programmes give to participants are highlighted from the case study. A critical analysis suggests that the senior management of the organization used management development as a displacement activity, rather than as an enabling activity. Implications for organizations considering using in-house accredited management development are identified.
