  • Abstract
    A case study is presented of the changes in the ratio of ``administrative´´ to ``productive´´ personnel in the aircraft engine division of a large industrial firm. The ratio is traced over an eight year period through growth and decline stages. Some contributing factors and consequences of the A/P index are examined.
