ABSTRACT
The importance of industry for Sweden's economic welfare has been increasingly emphasized in public debate in the 1980s and thus the spotlight has been turned on some of industry's principal actors - managers and executives. The teaching methods employed were a mixture of lectures, group assignments in connection with a lectures, computer simulations, a corporate game, case studies, and a project assignment. Lectures were the dominant teaching form and occupied 70% of the teaching schedule. The reality studied involves educational processes in management training and the factors studied are governing values, the behaviour of the actors, the learning climate which is created, the learning process itself, and the relevance of the learning for management job execution. The correlations in the model indicate that, in a specific situation, in this case management training, the actors’ behaviour is governed by their evaluation of the situation.
