Industrial Organization: Theory and Practice. (2 Ed.). Oxford: University press. By Jim McKirahan February 26, 2007 Review The aim of the South Essex, England based, 10 yearlong study performed by social scientists was to determine the influence technology, organization, and management all together had on manufacturing-related companies. Surveyed information including company history, background, objectives, and organizational and labor structure, manufacturing processes, methodologies and routines used, and commercial success was gathered for analysis. often specialized, planning activities, personnel management issues involving proper fit of personnel to certain organizational functions, and the status of those positions, discernment of activities differentiating manufacturing phases were investigated. Summary of Important Points Amongst initial study conclusions made by researchers, it was determined that: 1) Organizational development proceeds technical change and development 2) The type of organization and functions within the organization are tied to the manufacturing technology used in the organization 3) In the technologically advanced companies, organization promoted social ends, defining the roles and relationships of the social system within the organization 4) It was determined that flattened management structures most often accommodated high technical skill, high responsibly manufacturing positions. My Opinion and Thoughts There are several things striking things about this book. The first was the thoroughness of the study. Secondly, Woodward explained and illustrated organizational and technical variable analysis, relative to study companies manufacturing technology, quite succinctly in the first six chapters. The information in the case studies, however, was jagged and not strung together well
