ABSTRACT
Concurrently with the author interest in the human side of business, he maintained a strong interest in the social issues that involved management. He view from the beginning has been that management has social obligations that accompany its power, and that its acceptance of these obligations will enhance its role in the long run. The author chose management because both his experience and education convinced him that management was rather undeveloped in theory and practice, and much improvement was needed. Toward the end he have primarily worked in organizational behavior, human resources, social issues in management, and international management. Management also offered more opportunity to study and interact with people. At the end of his term his presidential address to the Academy in its Chicago meeting was on "The Public Role of Management," which essentially encouraged more social response and responsibility on the part of management.
