David Stauffer, Harvard Management Update, January
1998, Volume 3, Number 1, "What You Can Learn from 100
Years of Management Science: A Guide to EMERGING
Business Practice".
Stauffer points out that Maslow, in EUPSYCHIAN
MANAGEMENT (a great read, and, I think, free online),
in 1965 introduced the managerial concepts of
"enlightened management", the concept of "synergy" in
business, managing in shared-power teams, and urged
managers to engage in "continual improvement" (in
Japanese that's "kaizen", 改善, literally
"improvement", written about as "Japanese" TQM in the
1970s). Wiley publishing company, for some reason,
perhaps credibility, reissued Maslow's book in 1999.
All of Stauffer's HBSP stuff is interesting and useful.
