CHAPTER ONE
INTRODUCTION
1.1    Background of the Study
The economic development of a country depends on the quality and quantity of its resources, the state of technology and efficient deployment of resources in both production and consumption process (Griffin, 2013). Most organizations today are facing problems because they did not develop their workforce, neither do they have any systematic human resources management programmes that consider organizational productivity.
In the words of Dhamodhavan (2014), manpower is very vital to job productivity and organizational performance, since the formal educational system does not adequately provide specific job skills for a position in a particular organization. While few individuals may have requisite skills, knowledge, abilities and competencies needed to fit in a specific job function, some others may require extensive training to acquire the necessary skills to be able to fit in a specific job function and also make significant contribution to the organisation’s performance.
Goldstein (2012), refers to manpower development as the systematic acquisition and development of the knowledge, skills and attitudes required by employees to adequately perform a task or job to improve performance in the job environment.  Manpower development has been an important variable in increasing organizational productivity.  Many researchers showed that manpower development is a fundamental and effective instrument for successful accomplishment of the firm’s goals and objectives, resulting in higher productivity. Manpower development builds a team that is effective, efficient and well motivating, thereby enhancing the confidence and self-esteem of employees to replace those who have left the organization. Indeed, the benefits of manpower is often taken as the most important resource of an organization because through it, other resources (material and financial) are harnessed to meet the need of man.
Onah (2014), asserts that organizational effectiveness rests on the efficient and effective performance of the workforce that make up the organization. the efficient and effective performance of the workforce inturn, rests on the richness of the knowledge, skills and abilities possessed by the workforce. Manpower development in most organizations is a continuous act/exercise.  The inexorable march of time and the ceaseless glamour for social change combine to make adaptability and continuing preparation of the workforce as inevitable as the initial acquisition of knowledge and skills.  This cannot happen if employees development do not occur in an enterprise.
In order to maximize the productivity and efficiency of the organization, every executive, manager or supervisor in a public or private organization has the responsibility and indeed the bounding duty to ensure the development of their employees, who have requisite knowledge and expertise (Graham, 2013).  These emphases on manpower and development is influenced by the belief that it is now desirable to focus more attention on areas which in the past have been relatively neglected, because every organization must provide for the needs, interest and desire of its employees within the work environment, if it is to earn loyalty, dedication, involvement and commitment necessary to compete effectively. But majority of the Nigerian firms, probably due to economic recession have not been giving adequate attention to manpower development. Hence, the research to examine manpower development as a tool for high productivity with Innoson Technical and Industrial Company Limited Emene as a case study.
1.2    Statement of the Problem
Development focuses on building the knowledge and skills of organizational members, so that they will be prepared to take on new responsibilities and challenges. The consequences or effects of not developing the manpower of an organization has led to such organizations not creating a pool of readily available and adequate replacements for personnel who may leave or move up in the organization.
Furthermore, it has led to inability of the company to adopt and use advances in technology because of insufficient knowledgeable staff.
Moreover, another effect of not developing the manpower of an organization is the inability to build a more efficient, effective and highly motivated team to enhance the company’s competitive position and improve employee’s morale. This is because development is known to increase the morale of the workforce.
Finally, other consequences of not developing manpower include high labour turnover; poor job performance, reduced patronage from customers, negative work attitudes such as lateness etc. 
1.3    Objectives of the Study
The broad objective of the study is to examine manpower development as a tool for high productivity. However, the specific objectives include:
(1)    To assess the extent manpower development has affected productivity in Innoson Technical and Industrial Company Limited

(3)    What are the techniques of manpower development in Innoson Technical and Industrial Company Limited?
(4)    What are the needs for manpower development in Innoson Technical and Industrial Company Limited?
1.5 Statement of Hypotheses
Based on the research questions, the following hypotheses were formulated
Hypothesis One
H0:    Manpower development has not affected productivity in Innoson Technical and Industrial Company Limited to a significant extent
H1:    Manpower development has affected productivity in Innoson Technical and Industrial Company Limited to a significant extent
Hypothesis Two
H0:    There are no challenges militating against manpower development in Innoson Technical and Industrial Company Limited
 H1:    There are challenges militating against manpower development in Innoson Technical and Industrial Company Limited
Hypothesis Three
H0:    There are no techniques of manpower development in Innoson Technical and Industrial Company Limited
H1:    There are techniques of manpower development in Innoson Technical and Industrial Company Limited

Uncooperative attitude of respondents: In the process of conducting this research, the researcher was impeded by the attitude of respondents. This is so, as some respondents felt indisposed to provide vital information concerning their firm as a result of prejudiced opinion conceived about the study.
However, the researcher has able to assuage their fears and clear misconceptions by explaining the true purpose of the study to them.
