Globally, the demand for management and leadership competency is experiencing tremendous growth. One may ask, why does such competency be in high demand? In today’s environment that is full of uncertainties, most organisations are now looking at a new business model and management technology to remain relevant.
 These can be new product development, the Olympics, quality improvement initiatives; business transformation or a merger and acquisition exercise. Management technology is pushing the discipline beyond traditional applications.
