Labour - management relations

It has often been said that there is no more important area of human activity than management, since its task is that of getting things done through people.

Management today has reached a new professional level; crystallized and significant, it has taken its place in the orbit of other sciences. Every branch of industry and trade recognizes that successful commerce depends on proper management of goods and people.

To communicate information on management and to serve as a vehicle for the newest thoughts and ideas on manage ment operational techniques, are the objectives and pur poses of the new Reinhold Management Science Series.

This book will be followed shortly by others on pertinent

subdivisions of management science. Each book is being

written by an authority on the subject, and is presented in

readable style, illustrated with drawings and graphs when

necessary.

The books in this series will be useful to industrial engi neers, practicing managers and others aiming at manage ment positions. They will be valuable to persons trained in other engineering fields, but who are now engaged in managerial activities. This series can be used as a text or reference material for courses in management at business schools, or for training courses in industry.
