'. . . [the papers] will be a remarkable supplement to standard texts on general management. The book is likely to remain central to teaching and research and will certainly enrich the discipline of management . . . No doubt, Cary L. Cooper and the publishers, Edward Elgar, have excellently performed the job of undertaking the publication of the classics in management thought and the Who's Who which are complementary to each other. Every management and social sciences library, whether belonging to institutions or individuals, must possess these publications as they are extremely useful references for teaching and research in management.'
