Abstract
A critical response to the present stage in the development of
management education is presented. The concept of competence is
evaluated and its utility assessed. In particular, the use of the term
by the Management Charter Initiative (MCI) is thrown into critical focus
and found to be pragmatically and conceptually flawed. Emphasizes the
importance of addressing the approach actually adopted by the MCI and
other agencies in the “reform” of vocational qualifications
and argues that the MCI has been incorrectly criticized for attempting
to impose a simplistic model of management. Considers the implications
and argues that management educators and developers are faced with a
dominant concept of “competence” which they find difficult
to realize in their educational practice. Subjects the concept of
competence to conceptual analysis in order to bring into focus the key
analytical elements implicit in the term, assesses the MCI approach and
offers alternative approaches which place the emphasis on those issues
which are critical for achieving consensually desired enhancements in
management education and development.
