There is a growing number of managers and industrial relations specialists whose task orientation is balanced by their genuine appreciation of the value of people. As they believe that management is getting things done, through and 102 with people, they recognize the intrinsic worth of a worker as a human being whose total development is a vital corporate goal. Such So I think this conference is quite timely so that you can look' a management philosophy when translated into better motivational not just simply at this declining enrolment and graduation rate but system, improved organizational communications, and transformative also at the employment of the faculty and facilities towards what leadership styles, among others, will hopefully add a new dimension we ought to do in graduate school.
