Excerpt from The Social Problems of an Industrial Civilization This is the second in a series of books by Professor Elton Mayo, now planned to be three in number. Jointly they will present Selected aspects of over a quarter century of clinical research in industry. This research has been carried on in an effort to get a better and more fundamental understanding of human relations - that most neglected of subjects - and how to improve them. These books present also Mayo's mature re ections based on long self-training and clinical experience with individuals in a great variety of social environments before he began the study of men and women in industry: AS a result of his earlier work, when he turned his attention to industry he brought 'to his studies, zfirst, intimate, habitual, intuitive familiarity vrith things; secondly, systematic knowledge of things; and thirdly, a useful way of thinking about things, which the late Lawrence J. Henderson considered the basic necessities for objective clinical study of a new field. For about Menty years Mayo has been senior professor in the Department of Industrial Research in the Harvard Business School. The research conducted by this Department, by him and his co-workers in industry and in the School, has always been firsthand, clinical studies-of concrete industrial situations. The history of this twenty-year program has been a history of steadily increasing insight. About the Publisher Forgotten Books publishes hundreds of thousands of rare and classic books.
