Summary

A model is presented for the determination of promotion policies in particular manpower systems in conjunction with desired structural developments. Thus, promotion must provide expansion and compensate for wastage in each grade of the system, and the model proposes that wastage be affected by increasing/decreasing promotion incentives, in simple accordance with observed experience in the system presented for illustration.

Zusammenfassung

Ein Modell zur Festlegung von Beförderungspolitik im Hinblick auf eine erwünschte strukturelle Entwicklung wird vorgeführt. Die Anzahl der Beförderungen muß Abgänge ausgleichen und gleichzeitig auf jeder einzelnen Rangstufe ein erwünschtes Wachstum gewährleisten. Das Grundprinzip des Modells ist, daß die Abgangsrate in Übereinstimmung mit dem Fall/einer Steigung der Beförderungsraten anwächst/fällt. Ferner wird ein einfaches Beispiel zur Illustrierung der Verwendung des Modells vorgeführt.
