Number of pages:
6
ABSTRACT:
This 6 page paper argues that the reality always lags behind the development of theory and then the rhetoric. The paper looks at the adoption and implementation of different theories, claiming that the lag may be due to short term financial goals and influenced by the perceived level of change and difficulty. The paper looks at theories starting with Taylor all the way up to Goldthorpe. The paper looks at the theories and practice in general and illustrates points raised with real company examples including UK companies. The bibliography cites 10 sources.
