Abstract

Reviews A human relations casebook for executives and supervisors (1947), by Frances S. Drake and Charles A. Drake. The reviewer suggests that this human relations casebook tries to add "flesh and blood" to the formal structure of personnel management and does it pretty well. It presents 75 case histories, drawn from actual experience and descriptive of a wide variety of situations in industry. The real merit of this book is seen to lie in the soundness of the particular principles illustrated, the value of the case examples in stimulating thought by the reader, and its general usefulness as a supplementary textbook or as a workbook in a supervisory development program.
