dbo:abstract
  • The Functions of the Executive (Les Fonctions de l'exécutif) est un livre de Chester Barnard (1886–1961) présentant une théorie de la coopération, de l'organisation ainsi qu'une étude des fonctions et des méthodes d'opérer des dirigeants d'une organisation formelle.. Le livre a été publié en 1938. En 1968, à l'occasion de son trentième anniversaire, il a été republié. Le livre au lieu de se focaliser comme les approches antérieures sur des principes prescriptifs se focalise sur la façon dont les organisations fonctionnent réellement.. C'est un des premiers livres à étudier le leadership d'un point de vue moral et sociologique. Un article de la Public Administration Review note qu'il est considéré comme un des livres les plus influents du domaine de l'Administration publique publié entre 1940 and 1990. Il est aussi considéré par l'Académie américaine de management comme le deuxième livre le plus influent du management après le livre The Principles of Scientific Management de Frederick Winslow Taylor.

  • The Functions of the Executive is a book by Chester I. Barnard (1886–1961) that presents a "theory of cooperation and organization" and "a study of the functions and of the methods of operation of executives in formal organizations." It was originally published in 1938; a Thirtieth Anniversary edition, published in 1968, is still in print. The book is notable for its focus on how organizations actually operate, instead of previous approaches to organizations that emphasized "prescriptive principles." It has been praised for being one of the first books to consider leadership from a social and psychological viewpoint. An article in Public Administration Review reported that an informal advisory panel voted it one of the most influential books in public administration published between 1940 and 1990. It was voted the second most influential management book of the 20th century in a poll of the Fellows of the Academy of Management, behind The Principles of Scientific Management by Frederick Winslow Taylor.
