Description: Applying behavioral science to business problems has been practiced by the Harwood Companies for over 25 years, due to the influence of Board Chairman Dr. Alfred J. Marrow. He describes how a change to new procedures was handled at a particular plant. Psychologists divided employees into three groups, each applying different methods of handling the change-over. One group was treated autocratically, a second elected delegates to meet with the management to discuss ways of changing methods, and all of the third group met with management to plan the change. The smoothest and most productive transition was achieved by the third group. This film highlights the change in supervisor's and employees' attitudes as they gradually accept the idea of participation based on new concepts of trust and responsibility.
