ABSTRACT
The British Team's Report is addressed to management and to accountants in industry. This chapter focuses on the 'receiving end' top management control, manufacturing, sales department and the 'producing end' costing, finance and accounts, purchasing, stock control and office management. The Team has worked for: To find out what accounting, costing and statistical information is provided for American management at different levels: by what methods it is obtained and how it is used. The effectiveness of American management and accounting rests not on technical superiority but on their thorough application of techniques which are as well known in Britain as they are in the United States. The team of British trade union officials in its recent Report recognises the redundancy problems and says: In this new industrial role which unions are seeking to perform there is need also to develop a more positive and realistic approach to redundancy.
