Discussion: View Thread

Dear Listers,

I recently joined the HR department of a large pharmaceutical company
where I will be heavily involved in Management Development. Being new to
the field I would like to get some help and advice from you.

In particular I am interested in answers to the following questions:
1) what are "best practices" in Management Development?
2) What companies (not necessarily pharmaceutical) are using them? Which
are the frontrunners in this field?

I will post a summary of all relies.

Thanks for your help.

Ich hoffe, diese Meldung geht nur an Sie, nicht an die Liste.
Ich hatte Muhe Ihre Email Adresse heraus zu lesen.
Hans Greuter <greuterTL-BW.CH> ohne @ ??

I am sorry, I tried to keep the private msg to <greuterTL-BW.CH>
off the list. It seems I couldn't figure out his address from the
header.

PS
same for timnercnet.com

If someone could indicate why some list correspondents' address doesn't
show up completely (with @ and name part of address) in the header,
and how to write to them only I 'd be glad to learn Best Practises. <g>

MAYBE managers__ need to modify how lists are operated to make them
more consumer "friendly!" You aren't the only one doing this here
or elsewhere!

That seems to be a fact of life with lists. The list manager can not
control the headers, as they are determined by the interaction between the
list management software *and* the e-mail software of the person sending a
message. Unless some standards are developed for all software related to
e-mail, the problem will never be solved.

The best way around it is to encourage people to use a signature file which
contains their name and e-mail address (or at least to sign messages with
that information) because you can not count on the fact that conact info
will always be retained in the header of a list message.

Hope this helps,

Ira

Which I did meanwhile. Reason to stick with Compuserve is ability to
send real binary 8 bit file attachments, and select mail to be private,
personal, confidential, or standard. In addition I can type en francaise,
espagnol, schwyzerdutsch, etc.
Internet is so antique with its 7 bit characteristics and the chopping up
of 8 bit characters (standard) into two bytes of 7, it is unbelievable.
I guess it will change when phone companies are getting fed up with
transporting messages for free. After all, the 8 bit transmission
technology has been around for more than 10 years. If I increase precision
of this statement, internet transmission technology will look even worse.
Why did Noah send a dove messenger from his ark? He was fed up with the
slowness of the internet. <g>
