Abstract

Barnard is considered to be the founder and innovator of organization theory following the publication of his seminal book, The Functions of the Executive. This book aims to clarify systematically and faithfully how Barnard’s theory of organization and management was established and developed through examining the background of his management thought. To accomplish this aim, this book sets three major research questions: “Why was Barnard able to publish a book like The Functions of the Executive that is highly logical and systematic despite the fact that he is not a professional researcher but a practitioner?”; “How did Barnard form his major concepts for The Functions of the Executive?”; and “How did Barnard develop his theory of organization and management after the publication of The Functions of the Executive?” As a conclusion, this chapter summarizes the main points of this book; it then presents conclusions in response to the three major research questions of this book.
