ORGANIZATION PLANNING IN ENGINEERING TO MEET CHANGE

During the early part of the century various precepts for effective industrial management were set up that, although still basically valid in many respects, are being challenged, either in principle or in application. It is now appropriate to ask whether organizational change can any longer be evolutionary. This article points out the need for organization that anticipates change, not reacts to it. Specifically, it discusses the misuse of the engineer in the current scheme of things and suggests ways in which the situation can be remedied. © 1969 IEEE. All rights reserved.
