Barnard's The Functions of the Executive began as the 1937 Lowell Institute Lectures in Boston and became a core text of administrative science and organizational behavior. The Thirtieth Anniversary Edition from Harvard University Press sets out formal organizations as cooperative systems, including the zone of indifference, which describes how managerial authority works through the consent and cooperation of participants. The edition carries an analytical introduction by Harvard Business School scholar Kenneth R. Andrews, prefaces to both the 1938 original and the anniversary edition, and subject and name indexes. Barnard drew on his career as president of New Jersey Bell Telephone and of the Rockefeller Foundation to build a theory of institutional communication, executive responsibility and organizational incentives. …

Hardback. Condition: Very Good. Most of Barnard's career was spent in executive practice. A Mount Hermon and Harvard education, cut off short of the bachelor's degree, was followed by nearly forty years in the American Telephone & Telegraph Company. His career began in the Statistical Department, took him to technical expertness in the economics of rates and administrative experience in the management of commercial operations, and culminated in the presidency of the New Jersey Bell Telephone Company. He was not directly involved in the Western Electric experiments conducted chiefly at the Hawthorne plant in Cicero, but his association with Elton Mayo and the latter's colleagues at the Harvard Business School had an important bearing on his most original ideas.Barnard's executive experience at AT&T was paralleled and followed by a career in public service unusual in his own time and hardly routine today. He was at various times president of the United Services Organization (the USO of World War I), head of the General Education Board and later president of the Rockefeller Foundation (after Raymond Fosdick and before Dean Rusk), chairman of the National Science Foundation, an assistant to the Secretary of the Treasury, a consultant to the American representative in the United Nations Atomic Energy Committee, to name only some of his public interests. He was a director of a number of companies, a fellow of the American Association for the Advancement of Science and of the American Academy of Arts and Sciences. He was a lover of music and a founder of the Bach Society of New Jersey. …
