Abstract

One of the most outstanding authorities in the field of management theory makes some pertinent comments on a September, 1966, Journal article by James L. Gibson. Among the premises questioned by Colonel Urwick is the need for a complete and scientifically defensible theory of human behavior in order to design organization in the classical sense of the term.
