Foreman (RLE: Organizations)

<p>The foreman is usually regarded as a filter in a chain of command in industrial organizations. In this book however the author suggests that this view is not adequate and he proposes instead a model of analysis which employs a systems perspective. The role of the foreman is seen in terms of the interaction of three sub-systems representing the organization the group and the individual. The book is based on the work of researchers from many disciplines and employs a sociological framework to account for the peculiar strains conflict and ambiguities associated with the foreman’s role. </p>
