Films: Exploration in Management

Abstract

Alec M Hughes has recently been viewing the six film series of management training films, featuring the Rt Hon Lord Wilfred Brown PC, chairman and managing director of the Glacier Metal Co Ltd from 1939 to 1965, and Minister of State at the Board of Trade, with special responsibility for exports from 1965 to 1970. During his chairmanship Glacier Metal was transformed from a technologically backward company to the largest organisation of its kind in Europe. During this period too the company became famous for the management experiments which were initiated and the management techniques adopted which contributed to the firm's success. This film series presents the theories expounded in Lord Brown's book ORGANISATION — concepts which form the basis of the management training programmes at the Glacier Institute of Management — dealing with practical methods of improving industrial relations and company performance. This colour series is available either in 16 mm print form or in video cassette. The average length of each film is 30 minutes.
