Concept of The Corporation

1946

Notes:

Social Ecologist, Management consultant instrumental to the modern concept of the corporation, devloped first MBA programs. Brought order, hierarchecal structure, growth plan to the Red Cross, Girl Scouts, Evangelical churches looking to grow. Invented concept of "Management by Objectives" and "Knowedge Workers", espoused importance of Marketing. Admired Zen Buddhism, Martin Buber's existential "I & Thou". Adopted Kirkegaard's notion of upper & lower duality of life (provable absolutes/improveable inabsolutes, similar to exotericism/esotericism in mystery religions). Grew up Lutheran in a house where politicians, intellectuals & scientists like Friedrich Hayek hung out, but was more interested in Keynes' "Behavior of Commodities" which changed his management style to be based on personal relationships, not number crunching. A corporation was to be a community wherein all involved shared in the success of the corporation, making people feel part of something bigger than themselves thus healing existential alienation brought on by displacement of modern technologies. Did not self-identify as a Christian, but after seeing Nazism & Communism, determined that Western Civ was fundamentally sick and the key to social reform was Churches (owing to masses of people being influenced, not in correction of sin), so sought to bring corporate structure to church communities. 2002 Presidential Medal of Freedom. Writings Preserved by the Harvard Business review.
