Abstract
THE attention which has in recent months been focused on management, as shown, for example, in the formation of the Administrative Staff College, of which.Mr Noel F Hall has recently been appointed principle in the recommendations of the Percy Committee on Higher Technological Education regarding training for management, and in the proposals of the Baillieu Committee for the establishment of a British Institute of Management, has sprung from two main roots. First, there is wider recognition of the importance of a higher standard of management if we are to increase the technical efficiency of British industry and to secure the best use of our resources of man-power and woman-power. This approach is emphasized, for example, in the report of the Working Party for the Cotton Industry which, welcoming the formation of an Administrative Staff College, urged also that the central body for the industry should direct attention to arrangements for providing instruction in the principles of management. The second factor is the realization of the important contribution of management in establishing the right relations and co-operation on which industrial efficiency depends, particularly in the changed social conditions of a state of full employment.
