The corporate training is a methodical tool to develop corporate executives and today every corporate/MNC uses this as HR Developmental tool. Another thought says that the Corporate training is used as skill-building exercise that aim to inculcate many useful traits - among corporate officials that are worthwhile for business development in both short and long term.

As an entrepreneurship learner, a question that always comes in my mind that, "is a training programme that aims to develop and prepare executives in achieving the vision set by the owner/promoter/founder be termed as 'Executive's Mind-Cloning'?

Today, every promoter wants his/her officials becoming as entrepreneurial as he/she is. Since promoters are entrepreneurs and their one of the roles is to maximize shareholders' wealth. These founders attempt every possibility to increase the bottom-line - which is the most significant number for any business that exists.

How much minimum the bottom-line should grow has been debated a lot in the media, academia or other platforms? But, hardly there is any debate available on 'how much maximum the bottom-line should grow? There is no bar. The limitless desire of 'maximum at the max' bottom-line has created a different marketplace globally today. Promoters are not sure, how much bottom-line they would need to sustain for "n" number of years at the marketplace - and dilemma leads them for 'Executive's Mind-Cloning'.

One of the objectives of 'Executives' Mind-Cloning' programme is to tune these executives' mind as per the plans set (target for the bottom-line) by the promoter. These executives are trained in these programmes in such a way that, 'they should not act or think independently'. However, the other truth is, these executives are the creators of wealth in society. Their 'dependency' (on a business and promoter) makes sense in the business world. This ‘dependency’ guides the marketplace in a different manner - though this raises many questions in long run.
