This paper analyses the origins and first years of the Turkish Management Development Centre (TMDC), founded in 1968 upon an international cooperation project financed by the United Nations, the Ford Foundation and the US Agency for International Development, and the technical and execution advice of the International Labour Organization (ILO). The paper addresses the role of management training, on a broad sense, in international cooperation programs after World War II and, in particular, the role of ILO in the implementation of management training centres in developing economies.
