| Tiivistelmä: | "Executive Behaviour" (Executive behaviour. Stockholm: Strömbergs) describes the first systematic study ever made of top managers at work. It is regarded as a classic, but its impact on general management theory has been relatively modest. An idea-historical re-examination of "Executive Behaviour" reveals several unique qualities of the study still worthy of recognition 50 yrs. later. But, written before the revolution in organization theory, the book is also an interesting example of a study conducted in the scientific management tradition, with a strong emphasis on practical rationalization issues. |
