The case company is a well-known international company, which has been funded for more than 200 years and has also been with a robust competence model for human resources management.

This thesis study started from summarizing the middle managers'' characteristics and competence model, then to make comparison with the model currently applied in the case company. After reviewing with two senior managers, a competence model was developed and finalized for the following questionnaire. There are three different kinds of questionnaire developed for this study: senior managers, middle managers and first line managers. Totally 138 questionnaires were issued, 102 were returned and 96 out of them were effective.
