Managerial effectiveness has gained a critical importance in the current business environment, which is now becoming competitive and unpredictable. Effectiveness involves doing the right things, in the right way and effectiveness translates a manager’s intelligence and knowledge into results. Although there have been several
models, methods and views on managerial effectiveness presented in the western
management literature; there seems to be no universal or standard approach towards
developing managerial effectiveness which can be applied to every country and
community.
