The International Labour Organization and Management Development in Argentina
研究了1950年代末国际劳工组织在阿根廷试点管理发展项目,通过与政府、企业和工会的三方合作调整方案,项目初期成功但因政府关闭合作机构而失败。
This article explores how the International Labour Organization (ILO) introduced management development programs in Argentina as a pilot project in developing countries in the late 1950s. By studying how the ILO worked together with actors at the national level, the article reveals how the ILO’s original idea to focus on top management development was reshaped through a dialogue with local actors within the context of tripartite cooperation between the government, business organizations, and unions. While the initiative was successful during the project period, it collapsed when Argentina’s government closed down the national productivity center with which the ILO was cooperating. While the tripartite principle was valuable for the first achievements, it was extremely vulnerable without the support of all partners.
