Some Remarks Concerning Organization of Directors' Own Work (Case Study of a Director of an Industrial Research and Development Centre)

Managerial work belongs to activities, which due to their complexity and specific nature, do not lend themselves easily for studies and assessment. At the same time the social consequences of unsuccessful work of the managerial ataff are so enormous that it should be studied carefully and attempts should be made at fincing solutions for a number of problems connected with it. Awareness of complexity of conditions in which directors work imposes a requirement of attributing big importance to preparation of studies, their careful performance, and cautious conclusions and estimates. Since work of directors is so changeable and so difficult to predict its organization is possible to a limited extent only. If we want to avoid critique of superficiality in drawing conclusions on the basis of studies on the present situation we should take into accourtt possibly most elements of their work. The main point here is to make allowances for specific characteristics of the environment in which a director works, and of decisional-informative processes, which constitute the contents of managerial work.Zadanie pt. „Digitalizacja i udostępnienie w Cyfrowym Repozytorium Uniwersytetu Łódzkiego kolekcji czasopism naukowych wydawanych przez Uniwersytet Łódzki” nr 885/P-DUN/2014 zostało dofinansowane ze środków MNiSW w ramach działalności upowszechniającej naukę
