Part I Preliminary Considerations Concerning Cooperative Systems I. Introduction
From the ranks of the country’s leading executives comes a major
contribution to the understanding of our society… The author
presents an analysis of the nature of business organizations and
the functions of executives in them. He has been able to stand
apart from the minutiae of his everyday experiences and to view
them as part of the orderly functioning of the organization as a
whole… The work has important implications, for it points the way
to the development of more effective co-operative systems and at
the same time to the development and communication of the executive
techniques essential to such systems.
