Discussion on "People in industry" the changing pattern of industrial society - at the Midlands Region of the Institution

Mr. Richmond (Managing Director, Joseph Sankey Ltd), opening the discussion, referred to Mr. Hancock´s statement that in the past, managements did not pass down detailed information to the junior supervisory staff, and certainly not to the men. Mr. Richmond thought that there was a considerable change taking place in this respect. In his own Company, information concerning overheads and so on was passed down through the supervisory staff, as far as the foremen.
