ABSTRACT
The problem in writing Management Teams had been to know where to draw the line in terms of the presentation of a large amount of material. After consultation with the publisher, we decided to present the conduct and outcome of the research in narrative form. Inevitably, this approach to the presentation of material did not satisfy everyone. Some people needed more convincing, as I later discovered when conducting a weekend workshop for international lawyers. Without specific evidence they would not accept any verdict or conclusions that might be offered! And so I have recovered the details from the two experimental years when we had made forecasts, addressed in sealed envelopes to the secretary of the exercise, on the predicted outcome and presented them in a way that met the need. These figures have since been displayed many times, but as they did not appear in print in the original book, they are included here.
