Review of Foreman Training in a Growing Enterprise

Abstract

Reviews the book Foreman Training in a Growing Enterprise by A. Zaleznik (see record 1952-03066-000 ). This book is concerned with the evaluation of a foreman training program in a small manufacturing firm through 5 weeks of intensive on-the-job study of one of the trainees, a newly appointed foreman. Two other approaches to evaluation are also reported--observation of the training sessions and interviews with foremen. The reviewer points out several weaknesses in the study, but also believes the book makes a contribution. The reviewer finds its main value in the convincing and meaningful manner in which the many complex relationships with which a modern factory foreman must deal.
