Description
In part history, in part call to arms, this text traces how a few individuals have influenced the way organizations in Australia see themselves and their environments, and how they will continue to do so. It traces the revolutionary shift in the approach to management and human resources which has occured since the 1960s. It explains how that shift has seen the Taylorist methods of the industrial age set aside for a more flexible, dynamic and responsive approach to organizational change and management. Included are theorists and practitioners such as Fred Emery, Hollis Peter, Dexter Dunphy and Bill Ford, who have sought to reconcile social and managerial objectives, previously thought to be irredeemably at odds
