  12.     The impetus for the tutoring scheme came from Donald Davis,
  13. chairman of Stanley Works, the Connecticut-based toolmaker. In
  14. a visit to Poland in the early 1980s, says he, "I was
  15. overwhelmed by the lack of management know-how." Davis began
  16. organizing the program almost two years ago with the help of the
  17. International Executive Service Corps, which sends retired
  18. managers to help businesses in developing countries. Davis hopes
  19. to organize ten visiting-manager projects this year and as many
  20. as 50 in 1990.
