Jointly they will present Selected aspects of over a quarter century of clinical research in industry. This research has been carried on in an effort to get a better and more fundamental understanding of human relations - that most neglected of subjects - and how to improve them. These books present also Mayo's mature reflections based on long self-training and clinical experience with individuals in a great variety of social environments before he began the study of men and women in industry: AS a result of his earlier work, when he turned his attention to industry he brought 'to his studies, zfirst, intimate, habitual, intuitive familiarity vrith things; secondly, systematic knowledge of things; and thirdly, a useful way of thinking about things, which the late Lawrence J. Henderson considered the basic necessities for objective clinical study of a new field. For about Menty years Mayo has been senior professor in the Department of Industrial Research in the Harvard Business School. The research conducted by this Department, by him and his co-workers in industry and in the School, has always been firsthand, clinical studies-of concrete industrial situations.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Excerpt from Principles of Industrial Organization As industrial enterprises have grown in magnitude, as processes have become more refined and competition more keen the problems of organization have steadily grown m importance. Just as the tools and processes of our forefathers became inadequate as enterprises grew in magnitude so the simple administrative methods formerly m use have long since been outgrown by modem plants. Aside, however, from these reasons there are other factors affecting organization, which, while of little importance in former times, promise to be of great importance in the organizations of the future. The ideals that man has held before him in his toilsome journey from savagery to civilization have varied with changing time and place. Among many of the older nations war was the central thought, the country was an armed camp and predatory methods were an approved means of national support. In other cases some form of religion was the predominating influence, and the social and industrial organization was modelled accordingly. In a few of the older civilizations industry was held in high esteem; but for the most part it was considered menial to labor and industry was adjudged by standards that now seem strange indeed. But as the humanistic side of civilization has made progress we have attained higher ideals regarding industry. Never before in the history' of mankind has it been so universally acknowledged that physical, mental and moral well-being rest upon and are solely supported by labor. Industry is the business of the civilized world, and the greater part of our problems, national, state and home, center around the great industrial questions. Furthermore, industry is being looked upon more and more, not as an incidental matter, nor merely as a means of securing personal profits, but as the great basic feature of our civilization on which must rest our entire well-being. And with this new evaluation of industry has come new and higher ideals regarding service to humanity. About the Publisher Forgotten Books publishes hundreds of thousands of rare and classic books.

Download or read book Scientific Knowledge and Its Social Problems written by Jerome R. Ravetz and published by Routledge. This book was released on 2020-09-10 with total page 417 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Science is continually confronted by new and difficult social and ethical problems. Some of these problems have arisen from the transformation of the academic science of the prewar period into the industrialized science of the present. Traditional theories of science are now widely recognized as obsolete. In Scientific Knowledge and Its Social Problems (originally published in 1971), Jerome R. Ravetz analyzes the work of science as the creation and investigation of problems. He demonstrates the role of choice and value judgment, and the inevitability of error, in scientific research. Ravetz's new introductory essay is a masterful statement of how our understanding of science has evolved over the last two decades.
