Linking Executive Education to Strategic Imperatives

Abstract

This article explores the purposes, benefits and limitations to both in-company and university-based executive education as a tool for management and executive development. It also points to mitigations in the field, offers explanations for these trends, and begins to structure a framework for integrating executive education into a strategy-driven executive development system. The article concludes by introducing an early stage framework for examining how executive development processes might be integrated more effectively for enhanced corporate competitiveness.
