Features: Every successful management is the success of the manager, and every failure is the failure of the manager. Management is carried out by people, not by force or facts. The manager's vision, dedication, and honesty determine whether management is appropriate or inappropriate. A more detailed study known as the Hawthorne Experiment further discovered the surprising "contradictory" behavior of engineers, ultimately leading to the conclusion that the instinct of social cohesion overrode material conditions in determining factors of productivity. When several individuals combine to form a team, not only does their productivity improve, but their personal perspectives and ability to cooperate are also greatly enhanced. This book is part of the "Essentials of Western Management Masters" series, telling the management thoughts of the master of masters in management—George Elton Mayo.
