ABSTRACT

This chapter explains simplified model of multisectoral interaction and suggests the importance of these interactions for a system of control. It focuses on the role of the political authority vis-a-vis the rate of technological advance in a multisectored economy. In particular, a diagnosis of and recommendations for dealing with lagging technology in heavy industry in the United States, a matter which should be of immediate concern, will be made. The chapter highlights the implications of the aforementioned tasks for the institutional organization, cognitive capabilities, and ideological understructure of the political authority in the United States. The prevailing images, imageries, and ideologies at the root of organizational behavior change with experience. In that sense, organizations learn, and organizational behavior or policy evolves as a consequence of learning. The government, committed to maintaining full employment, is confronted with the growing mass of unemployed manpower waiting at the gates of organizational enterprise.
