Advanced Mana ement and Trade Union Programs' C J Men from Business and Labor onfze to B' Jlcbool AMPs undergo the rigors of registration informal discussion groups . . . Since its inception, the Advanced Management Program has gained stature and reputation as an outstanding accomplishment in business-university re- lations and cooperation. Promising executives from a variety of companies are carefully chosen for the thirteen-weeks course held twice a year. One class begins in September and ends in early December, the second runs from late in February to the latter part of May. Each session is limited to 160 men, and is directed by Assistant Dean Harvey P. Bishop. The program dates back to 1943, when the Busi- ness School, in cooperation with the United States Office of Education, initiated an executive training program known as the War Production Retraining Course. The purpose of the course was to assist the war effort by increasing the effectiveness of executives in rapidly expanding war industries. ln 1945, after seven sessions, the course was termi- nated. lmmediately requests were received from busi- ness organizations and industrial leaders that the course be continued as an executive development program. ln view of this interest, the Business School inaugurated in the fall of 1945 the Advanced Man- agement Program, a concentrated training program for experienced business and military men. The program's return to the campus provides an opportunity for participants to meet other executives, consider business principles and ideas away from the daily turmoil, meet and talk with prominent pro- fessors, and gain a fresh outlook and point of view. Through case studies and discussions important busi- ness questions are considered in an academic atmos- phere, thus releasing the free, unfettered expression of ideas. All types of executives live, work, and play together, something unattainable under other than these surroundings. . . . may keep some up too late at night TUPS H056 viewpoints w
