ABSTRACT
An ideal picture of individual mobility would show an individual in complete control of its every feature and phase. A set of major problems confronts any group which is in relative authority. Much collective mobility occurs under conditions where one group actively fights for what it believes is the welfare of another — for whatever reasons of its own — and indeed may owe its very existence to coalescence around this issue of mobility. First, it is concerned with instituting and maintaining a proper shape for the mobility of various other groups. Second, the superordinate group is concerned with managing individual mobilities which depart disturbingly from normal ones dictated by an expected shape of mobility. When aggregates evolve into active groups, they can cause organizational or agential havoc and radically alter the normal shape of aggregate mobility. Under such attack, organizations may knuckle under, compromise, go out of business, or call on higher authorities.
