One other reference for this thread, forgive the self-promotion:
Cooke B, Mills A and Kelley E (forthcoming) Situating Maslow in Cold War
America: A Recontextualization of Management Theory, in Group and
Organization Management, soon, 24pp
Argues that situating Maslow in the Cold War US context provides an
explanation which explains the apparent contradictions in his life and work,
and the accounts thereof in Buss, Cullen on his primate inspiration,
Linstead on Kitsch etc etc. Can lend people .pdf proofs for personal
research if they are interested.

Subject: David Stauffer, Harvard Business Schoo, 1998, on Maslow
See: http://www.hbsp.harvard.edu
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.
