Approaches to manpower planning

Summary This article has presented a rationale for manpower planning and has explored the conceptual strengths and weaknesses of five of the commonly utilized strategies for approaching manpower planning. Just as disciplines, e.g., economics, sociology and political science, are not clearly discrete areas of inquiry but, in part, overlap one another, so also do the above cited strategies overlap and merge in thede facto arenas of application and analysis. The arbitrary identification of five approaches is intended here only as an initial taxonomy. Thus, this analysis was initiated within a spirit of inquiry and is intended not to reflect dogma, complacency, or premature judgment, but rather to present the application of social science principles to the resolution of immediate and pressing educational problems of transnational significance.
