| Abstract: | The cyclical nature of much consultant led activity designed to improve managerial effectiveness is explored through 3 consultant driven approaches to organizational improvement: management-by- objectives, organization development and total quality management. Such packaged programmes seem to proceed through phases of high enthusiasm and much activity followed by a period of disillusionment, to be replaced by the next stage panacea. Analysis may provide some clues for steps which might be taken to find more enduring ways to bring about increased managerial effectiveness in organizations. |
