Training and development applications in organisations: A research on applications in group companies of a holding

For the purpose of remaining competitive in the changing and developing business field, the organisations need to renew their organisational structure and look for a path to reach their organisational targets. However, having high technology standards cannot only be sufficient for organisations. There is also a potential need for recruiting qualified managers towards this purpose. In this study, training and development of managers, determination of the training and development needs, planning and conducting the training programs are emphasised besides explaining the management and manager concepts in details. The power to remain competitive in the business and to develop efficiently depends on the recruitment of high-qualified managers. The management concept, management process, special features of the management process, evolution of the management observation, manager concept, manager and leader differentiation constitute the basic points to inspect. From the point that the organisations are only tools in reaching the intended organisational target, the management process and the managers bearing the necessary qualifications become important in reaching the desired organisational target. In order to train the managers to gain the required qualifications, planning the trainingVI programs, processes existing in the planning of the manager training, the methods to be implemented during the training process, evaluation and assessment of the results of the training programs become the subjects that should be considered primarily towards the above mentioned opinion. Existing precedents from the actual training implementations of a group of companies in Turkey are also considered as important as the theoretical data related with the manager training. In this context, the data related with some precedents from the training and development implementations and the evaluation process of such training programs are also explained in details. At the end of the training programs, there arises a need to research and understand the basic impacts of the manager training and development policies on the relevant organisations' development and change. It is aimed to reach a statistical data by giving assessment forms to the trainees to complete at the end of each training program. Consequently, the intended point in this study is to examine the training programs for the managers to gain the qualifications required by the organisations in order to remain steady and well established in the business. Evaluation of the organised training programs and getting statistical data from such evaluations also become one of the important points to be considered. Key Words: 1. Training 2. Development 3.
