Abstract

The purpose of this study was to investigate the problem area suggested by the following questions:

What have been the findings in industry concerning the selection of top executives? What implications may formal programs of selection in industry have for the selection of college presidents?

The primary concern of this investigation was to examine the literature and four programs of selection which are currently used in industry for selecting executives and at­tempt to identify and to appraise factors which appeared sig­nificant for the selection of college presidents.
