Abstract
In the Navy almost all officers, whether junior or senior,
hold positions as managers. The economy and efficiency of the
Navy's operations, therefore, depends on the ability of it':
managers to plan, organize, staff, direct and control the
organization.
A review is made of what noted authorities on the subject of
management have said about the universality of management
principles and the need to develop managers through education
and training. Also, a review is made of the educational background
of officer candidates as to the amount of management
development they have received.
From these reviews, an attempt is made to show that although
naval officers are well educated they are lacking in one important
area. This is the area of management development, which is
necessary if the Navy is to obtain the maximum performance from
its officers.
A comparison is also made of the Navy' s manager development
program with those of industry and other services. From
these are drawn conclusions and recommendations to assist in
the managerial development of today's naval officers.
