Follett

Basis of her thinking was the " whole man" and relations bw whole men within group. The group principle - bring out individual differences and integrate them into a single whole .


Conflict confronting - voluntary submission of one side, struggle and victory of one over another, compromise, integration. Collective responsibility lies in group responsibility, employees involved ad partners in shaping work policies.

Mgr decision making is bounded to limited mental capacity,emotions, environment factors. Bounded rationality. Optimum decision almost never made.
