Some Implications Of Team Management

Author

Daniel L. Babcock, Missouri University of Science and Technology

Abstract

Recent dramatic changes in industrial organization, including fewer management levels and greater reliance on self-directing work teams, are cited with examples. A short case study of the transition from a matrix management structure to interdisciplinary project teams in an aerospace company is presented. Implications of the reduction in management levels for the engineering career are discussed. Also considered are the potential of these changes in nonindustrial arenas such as education and government, and the possible benefits lost in the process of simplifying management structure. © 1990 Taylor & Francis Group, LLC.
