Abstract
An appraisal of recent reviews of the literature on management development
demonstrates the existence of a number of perspectives on the topic,
and this lack of a uniform approach has contributed to confusion about the
subject. This article examines a series of recent and existing literature
reviews on the topic of management development. It reviews existing and
current syntheses of the management development literature and typological
models of management development. The aim of the article is to critically
analyze these reviews, with the intention of providing an overview of
what has been written about management development during the past 25
years. The article unearths core issues and trends that have emerged in the
various “literatures” and provides a synthesis of the concepts and paradigms
that emerge from these research literatures. The metareview concludes
by proposing a framework/model, within which contributions to the
literature on management development can be placed.
