A study has been conducted in Ethiopiall Telecommunication Corporation (ETC) and
Ethiopian Electric Pov,cr Corporation to asses the statu~ of management dc\clopmcnt
undertaken through training and to compare the tv,;o organizations. The studY IS
conducted using basically primary data collection instruments.
The finding indicated that both ETC and EEPCo havc a good commitment lor
management development expressed in terms of training plan for management. priority
and support given by top management for management training. It also indicated that
EEPCo has relatively a poor commitment for management training expressed in terms of
availability ohvritten policy for management development.
Based on the finding there is no periodic assessment of management training needs in
both ETC and EEPCo and selecting employees for management training primarily
depends on educational qualification, views of bosses and performance appraisal reports.
The finding indicated that both ETC and EEPCo are dependent on outside consultants or
training institutes to deliver management training. It is also revealed that different
management topics were included in the management training programs undertaken by
both organizations, and lecture and case study were the most widely used methods in the
management training programs of both organizations. This paper discovered that there is
no management training evaluation in both organizations to see the results of the training
programs.
In order to improve the management development programs undertaken through training
in EEPCo and in ETC suggestions are provided in relation \",ith management
development policy, management training needs assessment, developing in-house
programs and evaluating the results of the programs.
