Abstract
THE report of the October 1943 conference of the Institute of Industrial Administration has now been issued under the title “Management in Action”. It includes papers by W. C. Puckey on “Organising for Production”, by E. F. L. Brech on “The Personnel Function”, by C. E. Holmstrom on “Marketing the Product”, and by A. L. C. Chalk on “Financial Administration”, together with Sir Cecil Weir's address “Industry After the War” and the presidential address by Viscount Davidson, and also reports of the discussions. The report emphasizes that the idea underlying all the papers is that management must be, first and last, an instrument of service to the community, and indicates that the Institute is facing the problem of the integration of industry and society as one of the first we must solve if we are to build a post-war social and industrial structure which gives full play to individuality and human values.
