ABSTRACT
The potential returns from the activity of a particular management group are determined by its place within the system of interactions with higher-level personnel, with representatives of management organs, and with workers subordinate to it—with particular occupational and official groups and production collectives. The terms “management” and “management style” have become firmly entrenched in the scientific literature on problems of management. The area of the manager’s independence is limited by the fact that personnel in higher-level management organs frequently take upon themselves the fulfillment of his functions. The practice that has evolved for the selection of management personnel contradicts the policy of strengthening economic levers. Within the system of economic relationships, executives appear, on the one hand, as spokesmen for the economic interest of the production collective and, on the other, of state economic interests. Their role consists in creating conditions at the enterprise in which these interests coincide to a maximum extent.
