INTELLECTUAL CONDITIONING     Intellectual conditioning is the educational, the academic, the classroom component of the developmental process. It is the training man's responsibility, his very reason for being.     The manager's classroom instruction should be designed to give him a general comprehension of the theories, principles, and laws that govern the profession, as they have been developed through the experience of our predecessors in management. This is the why of management development. Not only does the manager need education and instruction in certain specific techniques of management—sales, budgeting, marketing, and the like—but, in addition, he needs a grasp of the general abstract theories in the various fields of organized knowledge that bear on his profession: psychology, sociology, history, and so forth.
