Responsibility for staff development
本文区分并评估了三种员工发展责任模型（管理层、基层和伙伴关系），引入了一种分散化模型，并通过伯明翰理工学院的案例研究分析了各模型的优劣，对高等教育管理者有参考价值。
ABSTRACT This paper distinguishes and evaluates the claims implicit in three models of staff development responsibility (management, shop-floor and partnership), and introduces a variant of the partnership model, a decentralisation model. The findings of a case study conducted into staff development at Birmingham Polytechnic to illuminate the claims made for the respective models are reported. The paper identifies several questions which the decentralised model has yet to answer satisfactorily if it is to commend itself as an improvement upon the partnership model. Conclusions are drawn about the relative advantages and disadvantages which arise from institutional reliance upon the respective models.
