Systematic Management: Design for Organizational Recoupling in American Manufacturing Firms

Author

  • Litterer, Joseph A.

Abstract

In developing techniques and guides for many of the regular or routine activities of managers, the Systematic Management movement of the late nineteenth century performed an important service for American business. The movement's response to breakdowns in the internal co-ordination of manufacturing firms was especially significant and forms the basis for Professor Litterer's analysis of the relevant literature.
