The Organization Gap (1972) addresses the gap which exists between the organization theory to be found in the literature on the subject, and the urgent everyday problems a manager is called on to tackle. This book introduces the method of Decision Centre Analysis, used by management consultants for the analysis and design of organizations ‘on the job’. Thus the argument and description of this book moves from the realm of principles and concepts into the practical steps and procedures evolved for the study of a particular business and for the revision of its organization. Methods for analysing and specifying the information needs of individual managers are also presented, since it is on a sound framework of information flow that good organization must be built.
