PROPOSAL
This research work will
look into the Impact of Management Succession in an Organization’s goal

succession system has to be strategically structured and tactically
evolutionary in order to ensure an uninterrupted continues flow of management
function from one generation to another. Relevant data were analyzed and
statistically where some findings were made. That life is procedural and
continuous and an such society looks on business endeavor of any firm for the
fulfillment of social and economic requirement of it’s members. It is in
light of the above, that the research will want to examine Impact of Management
Succession in an Organization’s goal attainment. A case study of Enugu State
Housing Development Corporation. The researcher would like to use various text
books and journals that discuss of fraud detection of the Housing Development
Corporation. The project will be divided into five chapters.
Chapter one will contain background of the study, significance of the study,
chapter two will review the literature, chapter three will discuss research
design and methodology, chapter four will deal with data presentation and

ABSTRACT
This research work
looked into the Impact of Management Succession in an Organization’s goal
attainment. A case study of Enugu State Housing Development Corporation.

CHAPTER ONE
INTRODUCTION
1.1 BACKGROUND
OF THE STUDY
Since Independence in
1960, Nigeria has witnessed a tremendous growth and increase in organization
whose role to a large extent have been tailored to fulfill national
aspirations. The expediency for personal and or organization objectives has let
to government emphasis on training and development of human resources
especially those on the managerial cadre.
Despite government
effort there is a basic truth about present day class of young executives. A
good number of them become unsuccessful in reaching their goods because of
inadequate planning by management to accommodate their skills and experience
especially at the top level of an organization. Consequently, this study is
aimed at exposing and identifying the defects in management style and it is the
aim of this study to do this by first identifying the development of human
resources. Secondary this study will emphasis on certain position in an
organization, which requires conscience activities according to Druker (1975).
This is because the
conscience activities and of course the extent to which it is been excluded
determines the survival of the organization. One important factor to be borne
in mind here is that the managers of the organization should be persons of
competence, hardwork, dedication and thoughtfulness. A Doyen in management,
Abebe (1980) in one of his interviews was of the view that “managers must
possess in satiable desire to learn and must be leaders and not bosses and must
have absolute loyalty and commitment. Equally important according to him are
qualities such as integrity, fairness, intellect, ability to work with others
and possession of basic common sense”.
These qualities can be
converted to reality by good management succession planning therefore
management succession planning is an important ability because it looks at the
manager as some one who can be fully integrated by development efforts in the
organization.
Like most human endeavor
there are problems which organizations are confronted with in the process of
managing their workforce. This research seeks to bring out these problems,
which work against the establishment of effective standards of management
succession plane. Above all, the imposition of great responsibilities on
business institutions of every sort makes the demand for the establishment of
effective standards of management succession plan more paramount. To this end,
our top management can therefore not afford to make nonsense of these
invaluable position by failing to make adequate provision for the supply of top
mangers for the father. Important questions that need to be answered by
managers of organizations are what is our business and what should it be. It is
only when this question if correctly answered that management personnel can
come to the realization that the future of present decisions can be assured if
good men are available to implement them when they mature Abebe States that,
from the day he was told that he is going to be appointed chairman in
succession to the former chairman and managing director. They started thinking
of his succession as well in order to give him relevant development training
and expose him to other parts of the business. He had wished that his companies
could take the question of succession planning much more serious. Management being
at a tangible activity has its own style and tested techniques, tools and
skills. The manager must anticipate and make provision to accommodate future
contingencies changes in technology and government regulations. According to
Elvers (1980) “We live in a world which is constantly, facing
technological change, e.g. Manual typewriter replaced with a electric
typewriter and later with computer, counting machine replaced instead of
calculator formerly used, Telephone reduces the need for messengers. Certainly,
all organizations will continue to be effected by such changes in technology.
Similarly, many of you are expecting the new elected officials to make an
impact on business, which must in turn make changes. Irrespective of what new
governmental officials do, all who are managers in an organization, whether a
business or a governmental agency are subjected to conditions which will
require that managers institute changes. These conditions may include business
growth, turn out of employees, Implementation of new programmers or products,
business recession, increase in competition new governmental policies, and
technological development. To be able to carryout these, the manager most
possess developed skill, in order to be able to handle uncertain tie of tomorrow’s
business circumstances. Ideally, only arise management will realize that most
decision taken or made today may not come to pass in their working life time
and such make preparations for the future and where this is failed to be done,
the effect usually ends in abrupt closure of organization, creation of
unemployment and any other associable social vices.
1.2 STATEMENT
OF THE PROBLEM:
The principle of
succession is as old as the history or the world itself. Every human endeavor
is characterized by tests, survival and succession in the course of time,
because some where and sometime people have been able to take up from there
their predecessors stopped in order that continuity is guarranted.
In the words of worth
(1974) “Management succession planning is a process. It starts from management
manpower planning to staff and development, organizational performance,
appraisal and analysis, manpower inventory ends in the final decision to
re-allocate the human elements in the organization.
Obviously, in planning,
organization, directing, controlling and co-ordinating all human activities as
of problems are encountered.

succession in this corporation.

As life processes are
basically procedural and continuous so as is the entire people of Enugu State
expectant of the fulfillment of their housing and other social needs by working
up to the corporation. Thus if these requirement are to be fulfilled and
satisfied on a conditions basis from one generation to another then there must
be some well structured plans to intake the corporation like up to its social
and housing responsibilities.
