Description: First in a series of exhibits organized by Baker Library Historical Collections to mark 2008 as the centennial of Harvard Business School. The exhibit provides access to selections from the mountain of documents created by the landmark, nine year study of worker behavior at Western Electric’s massive Hawthorne Works plant. Conducted by Elton Mayo, and Fritz J. Roethlisberger, this seminal behavioral study represents a shift in the study of management from a scientific to a multi-disciplinary approach and is documented thoroughly by Harvard Business School’s exhaustive archival record.
