Description

In Organizing Control, Jeffrey Fear challenges the idea that German management was backward compared to the United States. This work from Harvard University Press uncovers a sophisticated and autonomous managerial tradition within Germany. By studying the Thyssen-Konzern and the Vereinigte Stahlwerke between 1871 and 1934, Fear provides a new perspective on how large industrial organizations functioned. The book begins with the story of founder August Thyssen, often called the Andrew Carnegie of Germany. Fear examines the internal dynamics of these major companies to show how management actually worked. Instead of a strictly top-down approach, the research demonstrates that many important initiatives originated from middle managers. This historical study offers a deep look into the evolution of corporate management and organizational structure during a transformative era of industrial history.
