BUSINESS, Page 57Business NotesMANAGEMENTStarting Over In Warsaw
For retired U.S. executives who are looking for a second
calling, opportunity is knocking in Poland. This week at the new
Marriott Hotel in Warsaw, Commerce Secretary Robert Mosbacher plans
to announce a program organized by U.S. executives to advise Polish
managers on how to think like American entrepreneurs and help
revive their ailing national economy.
The impetus for the tutoring scheme came from Donald Davis,
chairman of Stanley Works, the Connecticut-based toolmaker. In a
visit to Poland in the early 1980s, says he, "I was overwhelmed by
the lack of management know-how." Davis began organizing the
program almost two years ago with the help of the International
Executive Service Corps, which sends retired managers to help
businesses in developing countries. Davis hopes to organize ten
visiting-manager projects this year and as many as 50 in 1990.
