Description
Tavistock Press was established as a co-operative venture between the Tavistock Institute and Routledge & Kegan Paul (RKP) in the 1950s to produce a series of major contributions across the social sciences.
This volume is part of a 2001 reissue of a selection of those important works which have since gone out of print, or are difficult to locate. Published by Routledge, 112 volumes in total are being brought together under the name The International Behavioural and Social Sciences Library: Classics from the Tavistock Press.
Reproduced here in facsimile, this volume was originally published in 1963 and is available individually. The collection is also available in a number of themed mini-sets of between 5 and 13 volumes, or as a complete collection.

Description
The often turbulent interaction of management and unions was one of the defining features of the post war period, and industrial, employee and workplace relations provided a rich source of study for the Tavistock Institute. The titles included here represent a broad range of both theoretical and empirical approaches to the subject, and include case-studies of industries and of individual workplaces. Key titles include two seminal works by Elliot Jaques: Measurement of Responsibility and The Changing Culture of a Factory. Other titles address such significant issues as the impact of technological change and industrial democracy.
