Abstract:

The paper discussed the reactions of managers to interactive conversational manpower planning models. These goal programming models originally developed by Charnes, Cooper, and Niehaus are supported by a comprehensive software capability including a specialized matrix generator and conversational statement repertoire. The first test involves the use of the model by the management of a large naval laboratory. The second involves the examination of broad civilian career planning policies by headquarters officials.
