ABSTRACT
This book is an account of the work undertaken by the Tavistock Institute of Human Relations in collaboration with the Ahmedabad Manufacturing and Calico Printing Company Ltd. in India. The work, which falls within the field of 'operational' or 'action' research, has been concerned with the interaction of social and technological change in a textile mill employing over eight thousand workers. Experiments which achieved both social and technological changes were carried out over a period of some three years. Measurements of their effects on each other and on productivity were made.
