Chief executive officers are concerned mainly with their quarterly reports of sales and profits, rather than the longer term scope and faraway rewards of human resources planning. The human resources revolution: key to business survival the neglect of human resources in strategic planning the unfulfilled promise of the human resources function corporations must change young managers are different executives for different organizations executives respond to their environment. E. Kirby Warren points the path for such a restructuring effort: The senior executives need to decide on the business and the markets in which they will be involved five years out. John T. Dunlop analyses how different organizational structures and missions influence and determine the types of executives that rise to the top.
