Brian Trought has written a book which, it is maintained, reflects the reality of manufacturing management in the 1990s. This claim is based on the accumulation of a large amount of data. The author personally collected this data during longitudinal observations and recording of the work activities of a substantial sample of manufacturing managers. Detailed data collection has already extended over nineteen years and is continuing. In this kind of human centered research, where the technical setting is not ignored, it becomes apparent that many of the ‘glib’ statements on how managers should manage are indefensible. The reality is not so much more complex as defying many of the prescriptions on which management theory is based. The view taken here is that manufacturing managers should be provided with an adequate amount of analysis and left to make up their own minds how to manage and in their own style. Contents
