The Fuzzy Managerial Talent Assessment Model: A Pilot Study

The purposes of this study are to better understand the criteria for excellent managerial personnel, to build a fuzzy assessment model framework for managerial talent, and to provide a more objective system for the, development of managerial talent well suited for organizational excllence. The experts' questionnaires are used to collect their interval-valued opinions by fully utilizing the concept and the power of the fuzzy set theory. A newly modified fuzzy Delphi method is used to provide the assessment criteria of managerial talent in this study. In the modified fuzzy Delphi method, the membership functions are derived by the use of conjugate gradient method of nonlinear optimization technique. The stability of the fuzzy Delphi iterative survey process is redefined. Through use of the fuzzy synthetic decision, a complete model of the assessment of managerial talent is then proposed. Finally, along with the feed-backs of this fuzzy assessment model with an empirical experiment, a suggestion system of managerial talent is proposed.
