Gantt on Management: Guidelines for Today's Executive

"Although the work of Henry Laurence Gantt has long been accepted as part of heritage of modern management, much of it is out of print or unavailable. This year, on the centennial of his birth, the American Management Association and the American Society of Mechanical Engineers have joined to issue this carefully selected collection of Gantt's most significant work. Emphasizing his concern for the human element in productivity, this volume has much to offer every modern manager...Publication of Gantt's work is especially appropriate at this period in the development of management theory and practice. In an era of rapid change and constant reassessment, this volume offers a vital reminder of management's foundations and its continuing adherence to democratic principles." -- Publisher's description.
