Control in Organizational Life: The Contribution of Mary Parker Follett
探讨玛丽·帕克·福莱特对组织控制理论的贡献,构建了行为与整体两种控制模型,并指出其思想超前于20世纪60-70年代的行为与系统概念。
Mary Parker Follett's contribution to the conceptual management literature on control in organizations is examined. It is argued that her contribution to management thought has been somewhat neglected by subsequent writers and commentators. From the concepts that she explored, two models of control—behavioral and holistic—are constructed. The extent to which they reflect Follett's own life and philosophy also is considered. It is argued that her concepts of control anticipated behavioral and systems concepts of the 1960s and 1970s.
