1 INTRODUC TION

Depth classification of micro documentson management bristles witlt many difficulties -as many as in any other subject. But unlike inother subjects of the conventional kind, even themacro documents on management -- such asbooks and whole periodicals -- create difficultproblems. 651, 652, and 657 of DC and UDC aswell as V:8, W:8, and X:8 of CC often fail tosatisfy the Canons of Helpfulness and Relativity,when used for macro documents.

last one or two decades. This does not meanthat management itself is as new as this.

11 Mana gem eut -in-Action

Management-in-action has been in exist-ence ever since man cam e into existence. Forexample, the Srauta-sutra literature (literatureon Vedic rituals) reveals meticulous details inregard to location, lay-out, flow of work, per-sonnel, and organisation as a whole. In fact allthrough time, management has alwa.ys been inaction. Only, it has peen taken as a naturalskill. When the magnitude of an enterprise in-creased, management met the situation by themethod of trial and error. There was no con-scious and concerted pursuit of the foundationsor the superstructure of management as a sci-ence.

12 Precipitation of Literature

Literary warrant for the c l a ssification ofmanagement took shape only at the turn of thetwentieth century. By common cons ent, thefir st clas sic to turn attention to management' asa discipline to be pursued along scientific linesis taken to be F W Taylor's Principles and meth-ods of scientific management (1911). Taylorstarted at the lowest level of industrial hierarchythe single worker at the lathe. He began withthe simple problem of co-ordinating the man andthe tool with maximal efficiency. He ultimatelycovered all the factors affecting, however re-motely' the worker's capacity to give his best,and the efficiency of the enterprise as a whole.The second clas sic on the subject is taken to beH Fayol's Industrial and general administration__ forecasting, planning, organisation, command,control (French ed 1925 and Eng ed 1929). Fayolstarted at the topmost level of industrial hier-archy, the general rnanager . He ultimately co-vered all the lower grades. The ever-lastingplay of the cycle of scientific method on mana-gement was emphasised by Mary P Follett in aseries of pcpers presented between 1924 and1933 and later brought out bv H C Metcalf andL Urwick as pyncmic administration (1945).These three classics touched off a precipitationof management literature, now chr l l erig in g clas-sification. There r r e <lready a few hundredvolumes covering the whole field or some sec-tions of it. Articles are appearing continuouslyin engineering and technological periodicals.There are also a score of periodicals exclusi-vely devoted either to management as a who le orto some facet or other of it. The annual outputof micro thought has justified the establishmentof an abstracting periodical such as the Manage-ment abstract~ (1947 --).

13 Formation of Profession

Management ha s been all along one of thefunctions of the chief of an enterprise or an insti-tution. He alone knew all the thr eads - - be theymaterial, monetary, or human - - and the, obj ec-tive towards which they were all to be co-ordi-nated and used. In exercising this function ofmanagement, the chief wa s guided solely by hissuperior flair. Loc ation, lay -out, fixtur es,fittings, furniture, design and control of the

34

flow of work, quality control, testing and re-leasing the product or the service, all the prob-lem of personnel, finding the finance, keepingthe account, and the or gani s ati.on in gener.alwere guided only by flair. But flair can goonly a small way. Its limitation came to sur-face gradually with the increase in the size ofthe enterprise or institution. The compla-cence of dependence on flair was rudely sha-ken in a competetive e'nterprise supplying com-modities and material services admitting ofimmediate assessment. The hazard becamehigh. Success or ruin became the only two al-ternatives; and these were immediate and visi-ble. To minimise the chance for ruin, manage-ment had to be guided by definite basic norma-tive principles. Flair had to give way largelyto conscious intellectual methodology and mea-surement. It had to be recognised as a pr ofe s ;s ion . for which a person can be and should beeducated as for any technical profession. Nat-urally factories were the first to see the inevi-tability of this. It has already fully establisheditself in USA. In an interview reported in theTimes of India (8 F'e b 1956), Charles H Percysaid that there was hardly a single company --out of the 1,510 companies on the New YorkStock Exchange -- whose management was notvested in a professional m an ag e r . Internationalcompetition is fast forcing this practice on allother countries. Another index of the firm for-mation of the profession of management is thepresent-day possibility of Consultant-in-Manage-ment as a career. A still another index of theindividuality and virility of the profession isthe formation of several Management Associa-tions with the International Management Con-gress (1924 --) at the apex. An implicationof all this is a continuous i.ncr ea s e in newthought on the diverse facets of management;and this throws a challenge to classification.

14 Spread of the Profession

It is true that the new profession of mana-gement found its first locus within the sphere ofthe industrial world engaged in the productionand distribution of commodities and services,at a high level of quality and a low level of cost.From this restricted sphere the profession hasbeen steadily spreading itself into other spheres.One of the earliest additional spheres to be 'en-tered was that of Local Authorities. The bridge

CLASSIFICATION OF MANAGEMENT

facilitating this was perhaps the municipalisa-tion of public utilities. The formation of theInstitute of Public Administration is evidenceof the recognition of the new profession in thissphere. The spread of the profession into thesphere of National and International Governmentwas initiated in 1937 by the Report of the Presi-dent's Committee on Administrative Management,transmitted to the Congress by F D Rooseveltwith the endorsement, " A government withoutgood management is a house builded on sand".The bridge facilitating the entry into the sphereof government was again perhaps the nationali-sation of the production and distribution of manycommodities and services, lying outside theconventional functions of a government. WhenRoosevelt was first elected President in 1932,there were about 10 Government Corporations-- that is Public Authorities in the form ofcompanies. By 1936, this number rose to 93.On his election for a second term, he sensedthe bewilderment caused by so many state en-terprises and realised the need for the grandenterprise of government itself to take heLpfrom the- new profession of management. Nowalmost every government is getting convertedto this view, that the management per se of a89vernment, as distinct from its political make-up and changing ideologies, should be regardedas an impersonal objective technique. Thenewly awakened India too is endeavouring toput this in practice. The tradition that theIndian Civil Service was the best in the worldwas for long delaying the process The firstfault of it to be recognised was that it was inan ivory tower too rigid to allow the intensionsof the legislature and the executive to reach thepublic. It is therefore insisted that the -rnen inthe present Indian Administrative Service shouldcome into closer contact with the public. Theresult tends to be for the I A S men to outdoeven the Ministers in overspending their timein rnakrng oep eech es and encroaching too muchinto the area of expounding ideology and pro-nouncing general policy. This intensifies thevacuum in the management sector to governmentThe task of national reconstruction is not by anymeans helped by this. What is needed is to plantgood management within the machinery of gov er rr-ment and to stimulate the civil service personnelto place greater emphasis on rn anage r i rI virtuesas opposed to demagoguish and political ones.Here, the Central Secretariate Library has adefinite part to play. It should r end er ca ggr os ;

sive ana exhaustive documentation service inrrrana gerrie nt , through periodical anticipatorydocwnentation lists. This needs a helpful clas-sification technique applicable to management.

15 Applied vs Pure Ms nag em ent

Applied management was seized by libra-ry classification much earlier than pure manage-ment. In this, management differs from the:raditional subjects, such as mathematics, phy ,sics, chemistry, botany, zoology, psychology,and economics. In these subjects, literary war-rant had established itself with equal intensityin the pure as well as the applied fields, beforelibrary classification was established as a syste-matic discipline and was turned on those subjects.But management acquired literary warrant onlyin recent years. Even then, it was only in theapplied field. The pure field is still virtuallyfallow. Therefore, the arrangement of docu-ments and their entries, with any managerialcontent, goes with the different conventionalmain classes forming the field of application.We find them distributed among library science,hospitals and other institutions, education, cons-titutional history, political science, and thediverse industries and commerce in the mainclass economics. The subdivision of manage-ment within a particular host class has beenaffected by the development within the host classconcerned. Poverty of literary warrant in puremanagement hi s been responsible for the delayin management being given a place of its ownamong the main classes of any scheme of classi-fication. This has, in its turn, led tb delay inthe study of the fundam~ntal facet analysis speci-fic to management per se. We seem to be nowentering the stage when this facet analysis andthe building of the associated schedules shouldbe done and these should be carried over to anyhost class in the measure of its requirement.Even if literary warrant has not established it-self for a separate main class, we have begun tosee the advantage of establishing facets and sche-dules for pure management and carrying themover to various fields of application. This meansthat the branches of pure management should betraced out with the aid of the published literaturein the applied field.

2 DEVELOPMENT OF BRANCHES

A main class is like a banyan tree. Thereis a main trunk - - the basic clas s - - with itsroots. There are also branches -- foci in fa-cets of various kinds -- eech with its own aerialroot reaching down to earth, and forming a sub-sidiary trunk of its own. In the conventionalmain classes, the main trunk and the subsidiarytrunks are already recognised and classificationsees them as an integrated whole. And it ispossible to start with the main class as the uni-verse and travel through and work out the pro-liferations in the various facets. But the pro-cess is reversed in the case of a newly emerg-ing main class like management. The branchesare seen earlier than the tree itself. The sub-sidiary trunks had lent themselves for studybefore the main trunk itself. Let us then havea brief look at the evolution of literature in theseveral branches, which are to be integrated asbranches of the main trunk of management.

21 Finance

Man ag em ent is e s sent ial ly the art of se-curing maximal efficiency in an enterprise.Therefore, .the first branch of management toattract literature was that of the measurementof efficiency. The common denoroinator usedas an instrument for measuring efficiency inmost of the enterprises is money.

211 Book-keeping and Accountancy

Accordingly, the earliest of the litera."tur e now being integrated as part of managerialliterature was on Book-Keeping and AccountancyBy common cons ent, the fir st printed book onbook-keeping is taken to be L Paciolo's book of1494. Since then, there has been a steadystream of books on the subject. Book-keepingculminates in a balance sheet and profit and lossstatement, prepared once in a year or at otherintervals. This serves only as a retrospectivemeasure of efficiency. In this phase of culmi-nation, we may say that book-keeping transitionsinto accountancy.

212 Budget and Budgetary Control

Mere book-keeping and accountancy canonly show the failure or the success of an en-

36

terprise. A more useful measure of efficiencywould be to compare actuality with a pl an orthe intention. The financial dress of the planor intention is the Budget. Budget may be re-garded as postulated prospective accounts. Aconsiderable quantity of literature has grown onbudget. It will certa.inly be an advantage to havethe e st irnat e s and actuals compared at sho r terintervals than the full budget period. Then thetrend of affairs can be seen when there is stilltime to apply any cor r ect ion that may be needed.Such a combined use of accounts r nd budget iscalled Budgetary Control.

213 Cost Accounting and Cost Control

Budget control can deal only with biggroups of income and expenditure. The in-efficiency in one element of the group may bebalanced and hidden by over -efficiency in another.This will be incident particularly in factory en-terprises. As early as 1832, Charles Babbagewrote in his Economy of machinery and manu-factures, "It is of great importance to-know theprecise expenses of every process as well asthe wear and tear of machinery which is due toit". A book on accountancy implementing thisidea was the Factory accounts (1887) of Garckyand Falls. One of these was an accountant; andthe other an engineer. This fact is significant.This branch of accountancy is called Cost Accoun-ting. This is a systematic analysis and presenta-tion of the expenditure in each unit of productionor service. The elements into which the analysisshould be carried out should include the quantityand cost of the raw m at er ial s consumed, the timetaken and the w ages paid to each operation, andan appropriate share of the Overhead Cost ofitems common to all the products, such as rentand taxes, insurance, depreciation, repairs andmaintenance, generation and distribution ofpower, inte~nal transport, telephone, stationery,s al a r y and wages in denartments other than thoseof actual production or service, canteen, and soon. Cost account should assemble all such costelements and arrive at the total cost of a pro-duct or any component of it, and of a process orany operation forming part of it. Cost Controlis similar to budgetary control. Correspondingto the over-all budget postulated in advance, astandard is postulated in advance for the variouselements of costing, such as materials and timeof operation and wages. The actuals are compa-

CLASSIFICATION OF MANAGEMENT

red to the standards at proper intervals or stages,when there is still time to apply any co r r ec tiorithat may be needed. Such a combined use ofcost accounts and standards is called Cost Con-trol. Ob.viously, the service of the engineeringsection is necessary both to get the standards,of materials and time to be established and tomaintain the records of the materials actuallyconsumed and the time actually taken on eachoperation, process, product or constituent.Cost accounting is obviously applicable in allfactory enterprises, and some service enter-prises. It is now being extended also to com-mercial enterprises. It is still a moot questionif it can be applied in equr I measure to publicadministration, and various professional ser-vices such as education, library, and medicine,largely made of intellectual and creative work.It is so in regard to top-management too.

214 Audit

There has all along been audit as a cor-relate to accountancy. It is concerned 'withthe correctness, honesty, and legality of finan-cial t r an s ac t iori s . It is usually done by anagency independe'nt of the enterprise. Modernincome-tax laws virtually impose outside auditon all private enterprises. From very ancienttimes, audit has been regarded as rt necessarycontrol over public finance. There is now anappreciable literary warrant in this correlateto accountancy.

215 Management Accountancy

Budget requires to be geared to clearlyestablished and definite policies. It has furtherto be related to a well-founded and definite or ga ,nisational structure. These are not matterswithin the scope of the accountant's work. Theylie definitely within the jurisdiction of the top-management. Everyone within the enterprisehas to know the part of the total budget for whichhe is responsible. He should put up his divi-sional or departmental budget as the case maybe, in the light of the policy laid down by thetop-management. The accountant's part is inthe co-ordination of these elemental budgets,in the light of the final decision of the top-mana-gement on them. Thus the substance and thesoul of budget-making form an essential part

Jun 1956 V 3 N 2

of the work of the top-management. For thisreason, it is usual to speak of budget and bud-getary control as constituting ManagementAccountancy. Similarly, the setting up of stan-dards for materials, time, and the man-powerneeded for use along with co st ac counts in theexercise of cost control forms an essential partof top-management. It is, therefore, usual tospeak of standard-setting and cost control alsoas constituting Management Accountancy. Mar-ginal costing is anoth e , constituent of Manage-ment Accountancy. It includes items such asbreak-even-analysis and profit-structure.

216 Finance and Financial Control

Literary warrant is galnlng in strengthinthe field of financial planning or capital struc-ture. The study of this starts where account-ancy leaves -- that is from the balance sheetand the profit and loss account. It is concernedwith topic s like total capital, net worth, fixedcapital and its investment, circulating capitaland its flow, and the raising of funds. It dealswith the checks and controls, an d the charts andother mechanical aids, needed or helpful inwatching the financial position continuously andapplying correctives promptly whenever foundnecessary.

22 Production

The second branch of management to gainliterary warrant was Production in an industrialenterprise. It was its secondary trunk that in-vited attention to the main trunk of management.Though this branch began to take shape in actionfrom the beginning of the nineteenth century asa result of large scale factories coming intoexistence, its literary warrant is usually takento have begun with Taylor. This branch. of ma-nagement is concerned with increasing the effi-ciency of production methods. Efficiency inthis area of large scale industrial enterprisecalls for great alertness in responding to theaccelerating tempo of scientific inventions anddiscoveries. Fortunately machinery in. it-self imposes a mental attitude and discipline,favourable to the objective cultivation of theproduction branch of scientific rn aria gern ent .The result is increasing literary warrant andproliferation into sub-branches, each withconsiderable literary warrant of its own. Taylor

himself showed the way of increasing. efficiencyby attention to the material factors in produc-tion, such CI s lay-out, flow of materials, se-quence of operations, interpolation of rest,speed, cut etc. His associate, F B Gilbreth,initiated literary warrant on the proces s ofwork, involving investigations, such as motion-study, time-study, and finding "the one bestway to do work", as his wife put it. We shallnow indicate the several sub-branches of theproduction br anc h , The greatest number of sub-branches is found among iron and steel, andother engineering industries. We shall there-fore sketch the sub-branches in that area. Sui t ,able elimination and rnod if ic at.i.on will be easyin other areas, including production of ser-vices. Generic name such as Production Mana-gement, Industrial Engineering and ChemicalEngineering is used to denote the sub-branchescollectively.

221 Production Engineering

The preliminary step for any productionsho uIo be designing, including experimental anddevelopment work, specification, drawing andestimating quantities. These are technical andnon-managerial in scope and content. Produc-tion Engineering begins with the technical dataand i.nfor mat iori furnished by the Design Depart-ment. It includes activities such as the follow-ing:-

1 Analysis of the assembly into sub-as-semblies, each sub-assembly into its compo-nents and so on till the ultimate units are reach-ed;

2 Specifying the quantity and quality ofthe materials needed for each unit;

3 Laying the standard of quaIi ty for eachunit with limits of tolerance;

4 Specifying the procedure for eachoperation on each unit;

5 Specifying the extent to which eachunit should be tooled, by balancing a low toolcost and high labour cost against the reverseof it;

6 Specifying the tools, jigs, and f'i xtu r e sneeded;

7 Specifying the scrap permissible ateach operation; •

8 Fixing the time f or eech op er at: ,oIl

each unit and each stage of assembly;

38

9 Specifying the sequence of the opera-tions;

10 Statement of the new machines, tools,and gauges required;

11 Fixing the machine Ioad and output orthe unit of work per hour capable of being hand-led by each machine or process;

12 Recommendation for the purchase ofitems from outside or specialist firms, wherethe load on the horne plant is too great, or theneces sary equipment cannor be provided, orthe necessary experience is lacking;

13 Ensuring that the rc>w material, finishedcomponents, and completed products are neitherin short supply nor in excess of demand; and

14 Fixing the time table for the commence-ment and completion of each unit or each op e r a ;tion and for final assembly and release of theproduct.

Sometimes the items 9 to 14 are collect-ively labelled Production Planning. Produc-tion Engineering may also have administrativecharge of Design and Development.

222 Production Control

Production engineering only sets the stepfor securing efficiency. To secure the intendedefficiency, it is necessary to record the actu-alities and compare them continuously with thespecifications and the programme-s, so thatthe necessary correctives rr.ay be applied atthe proper time. This is called ProductionControl. It includes activities such as thefollowing: -

1 Control of rria t e r ial s movement withinthe factory;

2 Control of tools in regard to theirdesign and issue to the shops;

3 Control of due dates as prescribed bythe production engineer;

4 Control of quantity and quality at pres-cribed stages of production;

5' Control of replacement of the rna t er ialor product rejected by the inspector;

6 Control of eff ic iency of op e r ataon s 0,

each unit in respect of the time specified andac tually t ak e ,t ,

Sorn et im es the items 3 to 6 are collect-Jelj" called Progress Control.

223 Simplification and St arida r d

The schedules a~d sp ec if.icatio ns to be de-termined by the production engineer will have tobe ba sed on the concrete conditions of work andvarious st arid ar d s of work app r op r-iate to theseconditions. Moreover, efficiency will call fora continuous improvement and simplification ofthe various elements in the concrete conditions.During recent yeC'rs many sub-branches of pro-duction bearing on these have developed consi-derable Ii t er a r y warrant. Here are some ofthese sub c br anc h es t ;

1 Motion Study. It is an examination ofeach operation with a view to removing unneces-sary movements, improving the methods ofoperating, determining the duration and locationof rest periods to overcome fatigue, suggestingmodification of tool, design, lay-out,fittings,furniture etc for consideration of the concernedspecialists, and training new workers in theright way of working.

2 Time Study. It is fixing the time foreach operation under the known conditions ofoperation, and helping in the coIc ul at.ion of thestandard output per unit of time of a machineor a depot or a department, or a worker.

3 Irnp r overn ent and design of tools andjigs, fixtures, gauges, patterns and templates,etc.

4 Machinery and Equipment for HandlingMaterials. This begins with the reception ofraw materials and equipment at the plant,covers the movement of materials, equipment,finished parts etc through the desired points inthe plant in the desired qua.ntities and rates andends with the despatch of the finished productfrom the plant.

5 Lay-Out of the Plant. This concernsthe arrangement of the various manufacturingand storage centres, and aims to minimisehandling and transport as the raw materialsmove steadily forward from the point of recep-tion of new materials to the point of despatchof the finished product .

6 Location. This concerns the determi-nation of the most favourable place for thefactory in the light of proximity to the sourcesof raw materia.ls and power, consumers, cIimatic conditions, transport facilities, securityfactors etc.

Items 1 and 2 taken together are. denotedby the term Work Study. Gilbreth was the pio-neer in this field.

June J956 V 3 N 2

224 Execution

The execution of the work in accordancewith the plan, making the necessary adjustmentsin it as and when need arises in the course ofthe execution, supervising the worker s, main-taining their morale, maintenance of qua Htystandards, app lic at ion of stat ist ical control me-thods for the purpose, and keeping the neces-sary records for fixing the wages of eachworker, etc form the core of production. Thisis the residue left over to the shar e of the exe-cutive engineer, after the various spe ciaIi s edsub-branches of i.ndust r iaI engineering estab-lished themselves.

225 Inspection

The purpose of Inspection is to controlthe standard of workmanship and finish of thecommodities or services produced by the en-terprise. In recent years, this sub-branch ofproduction has begun to have literary warrant.Its literature deals with topics, such as

1 Checking of raw materials;2 Checking the dimensionaJ accuracy of

very unit and operation;3 Control of heat treatment process;4 Checking the correctnes s of the sub-

assemblies;5 Checking the fina I assembly, its

finish, and work-worthiness, and certifyingit as fit for delivery; and

6 Checking the tools and gauges.

22.P Plant Engineering

Another sub-branch cel li ng vfo r recogni-tion is Plant-Engine·ering. There are articleson it, needing the attention of the clas sifier.There are even occasional books. It is gene-rally a partial comprehension of various tech-niques, pooled together from the angle of therequirements of the auxiliary services withina factory. It usually comprehends power supply,industrial heating, maintenance of the machinery,tools, buildings, equipment, electrical installa-tion, heating, ventilation, lighting, and safety-measures. This is like house-keeping. In everyenterprise sorn e rp ar t or other of this assignmentwill persist.

227 Purchase

Purchase usually covers about a half ofthe annual allotment of any enterprise. Theprogress of the work according to the timeschedule will not be possible unless the neces-sary materials are available on time. Conso-lidating the requirements of all the departmentsin advance, placing orders, procuring them atthe most favourable rates, checking the deli-veries against invoices, and arranging for pay-ment, come within the scope of the purchasedepartment.

228 Stores and Material Control

A sub-branch forming a solid base of car-rying out production programmes is concernedwith the reception, palletising, storing, andissuing of all the purchased materials includingraw materials, tools, jigs, and gauges. It isequally necessary for the intermediate commo-dities to be stored, issued for the further stageof production, and accounted for. So also thefinished product should be stored till it is des-patched away. The scraps too may have to becared for; it becomes an important function inthe· enterprise of goldsmithy, for example; hereeven the shop sweepings will have to be treatedfor the extraction of filings and other minutepieces. In recent years, this sub-branch ofStore-Keeping and Material Control hi's begunto develop literary warrant. As and whentechnology is able to utilise bye -products andretrieve them from wastage, they too will haveto be stored and accounted for.

23 Personnel Management

Management is concerned with the achieve-ment of maximal efficiency with the material andhuman resources brought together in an enter-prise. Taylor initiated the branch closest tothe material factor. Gilbreth contributed mostto the combination of the two factors by ini tra ,ting the branch on work methods, dealing inci-dentally with the application of the physiologyof fatigue. The human factor in an enterpriseis a far more complicated affair, since withrn an , as a Living organism, go not only the vitalbody, but also the elusive complex of emotions,win, intellect, and -- equally important -- the

40

capacity to combine and act collectively. Andyet curiously, a systematic study of the manage-ment of the human factor has been Iat e in emer-ging. No doubt, Personnel Management-in-action had been in existence all along. RobertOwen, for example, showed the way as earlyas the turn of the nineteenth century. But thepioneers in literary warrant were perhaps H WGantt, B S Rowntree, and M P Follett. Theirrespective first books were !yorks, wages andprofits (1910), Human fact~)T in busines§ (1921),and Creative experience (1924). A remarkableapplication of empirical scientific method topersonnel management was the HawthorneExperiment of the Western Electric Companyfinanced by the Rockefeller Foundation andconducted from 1927 to 1947 -- about ten yearsof observation and another ten years of inter-pretation of the observed data. Several sub-branches of personnel management have begunto acquire lit e r ar y warrant. Here are some ofthem:-

231 Employment

1 Liaison with sources like educationalinstitutions, employment bureaux, and otherstate agencies concerned;

2 Interview, appointment, promotion,transier, termination etc;

3 Initiation and follow-up of new recruits,and interviews and consultations as and whenrequired;

4 Hours of work, overtime, leave etc;5 Conformity to the laws and regulations

24 Public Relations

For eventual success, it is necessary foran enterprise to keep the consumers informedof itself. Virtually the potential world of con-sumers is the public. Even apart from thiseconomic necessity, there is the democraticnecessity to keep the public informed. Thecombined effect of these two forces is havingits full sway to the point of making Public Re-lations a branch of management during recentyears. A considerable literary warrant hasbegun to develop in this branch. Many enter-prises from the government down to a privateenterprise have begun to establish a publicrelations department. Its work is to dissemi-nate information about the nature and the wayof work of the ent er-pr is e , and about the com-modities and services offered. It seeks todiscover the public mind by opinion investiga-tions. It strives to prevent and remove mis-understandings about the enterprise, The mediait uses include printed hand-outs, the press,the radio, exhibits, motion pictures, tours,public addresses, and the guided coriduc t ofindividual visitors and groups of visitors. roundthe scene of work of the enterprise. Courtesyand truthfulness should be its guiding prin-ciples. The pure methodology of public rela-tions forms a main class by itself. Here weare concerned with its application.

25 Sales Management

Another important activity of any enter-prise is the sale of its commodities or ser-vices. Sale e s s ent.i=Ily means making the con-sumer accept the commodities or services.

The over-all picture of s-ales-work presentsmany proliferations and sub-branches, each ofwhich is rapidly gaining in literary warrant.It includes sub-branches covering diverse ac-tivities as shown be Iow s,

251 Market Research

This includes -

1 Assessing of the suitability of thecommodities or services to the market;

2 Finding of further markets;3 Studying the competition in the field;4 Finding the price load which the

market can bear; etc.

252 Preparation for the Market

This includes -

1 Design and pattern;2 Packaging with special attention to

attractiveness, facility in opening and using;and

3 Trade-Mark arid Brand.

253 Price Maintenance

This includes price maintenance all downthe channel of distribution.

254 Channels of Distribution

This includes -

1 Selling direct to the public, usuallyadopted in highly specialised commodities,household appliances, and services like trans-port, entertainment and catering;

2 Selling direct to industrial users andother kinds of enterprises, r?w materials,semi-commodities, tools, machinery, officeequipment etc;

3 Selling through retail agencies, thesebeing reached either directly or through whole-sale agencie s , or multiple or .departmentalstores;

4 Mail Order; and5 Export Trade.

255 Advertisement

This will include _

1 Liaison with advertisement agents;2 Media for advertisement like posters,

newspapers and periodicals, direct mail, radio,cinema, illuminated signs, and various formsof point-of-sale media;

3 Advertising Production including the"message", the .copy", and the "illustration".

This is different from public relations,though the two overlap to some extent.

256 Sales Service

This includes only the administrativecharge of the work. The actual service willhave to be done by the production department.Aft e r c sale s service is an important operationnow being widely extended.

and instructions. The records may have to bemultiplied or at least copied for circulationwithin the concern or to outsiders. This leadsto correspondence. It also calls for filing andarchives work, the latter being concerned withthe preservation of the records no longer inactive use and the destruction of some of theseaccording to a timetable. .:5implification andstandardisation will call for the design and useof forms and registers. Telephone and messen-gers usually fall to the share of general officefunctions. Mechanical aids like dictaphone,type -writer, duplicating machinery, filing re-ceptacles and equipment, and several othergadgets are being developed for mechanisingseveral general office functions. Considerableliterary warrant is therefore developing in thebranch of General Office Functions.

27 Top Management

In the course of the description of someof the above branches, certain elements werepointed out a s falling within the special purviewof Top Management. As it is to-day, the li_terary warrant of the various other branchesand sub-branches is so overwhelming as to hideaway the literary warrant of Top Management.For, the literary warrant of this primary api-cal bud of management i" relatively small. Itis small because the essence of top managementlies in the ineffable qualities of leadership andvision. It pervades every branch and seizeseveryone of it not in a detailed or gross manner,but in a gerie r a I but subtle and life-giving way.By common consent, the literary warrant onthis apical bud of management is taken to helvebegun with H FayoI's Industrial and generaladministration. 'I'hough it carne out as a bookonly in 1925, its first appearance was in 1916as a contribution to the Bulletin de la Societede l'Industrie Minerale. It was based on hispersonal experience as managing director ofCommentry-Fourchambault & Decazeville, oneof the largest coal and iron enterprises of Fran-ce for thirty years from 1888 to 1918. Topmanagement was not merely the source ofbread, but also the field of recreation andcreative thought for Fayol. He did it duringthe hours of work and lived it during the hoursof leisure. With great penetration, he was allalong analysing the unana Iy eabl e elements oftop management and seeking to express in ob ;

Jun 1956 V 3 N 2

jective terms what was ineffable. The resultsof his thought were hrst communicated in twopapers __ the first in 1900 to the French Con-gress of Mining and Metallurgy, and the secondin 1908 to the golden jubilee of the FrenchSociety of Mining Industrie s. It wa s this paperwhich was later elaborated into the classicpublished in 1916. In thus combining workunder duress, leisure time occupation, andcreative work and turning it all on one and thesame subject, Fayol's life is a demonstrationof the theory of happiness given in my Educa-tion for leisure (1948). He established theParis Centre of Studies in Administration tospread t rie leaven. As a consultant to Govern-ment in World War I, he had the opportunityto apply this theory to military and civil enter-prises.

271 Sub-Branches

The following are some of the sub-branchesof top c m ana gerne nt , which are gaining in literarywarrant:-

1 Policy-Making. This includes the enun-ciation of the objective of the enterprise and theformulation of the broad principles forming thebasis of its operations.

2 Organisation. This includes -1 The break-down of the whole work

of the enterprise, needed for carry-ing out the policy, Int o its compo-nent organs;

2 Fixing the authority, r espon sihiHty ,and duty of each organ of the struc-ture; and

3 Fixing the nature of relation betweenthe organs, such as Line Relation orthe relation between superior andsubordinates, Functional Relation orthe relation between a specialistorgan and the organ engaged in carry-ing out the main operation or thework of the main objective or subjectof the enterprise; and

4 Staff relation or relation describingthat of a personal assistant to thechief, with no formal relation to anybut the chief and yet forms as it we!ean extension of the per sonality of hischief in carrying out the responsibi-litie s of the latter.

This is also called Planning.

3 Command. According to Fayol, thisincludes -

1 Issue of broad instructions to sec-ure that the interest of the enter-prise is not overshadowed by sec-tarian or individual interests;

2 Over-all supervision of work;3 Ma int en- nc e of morale;4 Discipline and sanctions against

indiscipline;5 Decision-making in situations pre-

senting alternatives;6 Observance of equity; and7 Release of the creative element

among the staff.

4 Control. This includes continuous re-view of the data brought up in the matter ofbudgetary, financial, production, material andsale controls from time to time.

5 Co -ordination. This includes -1 Securing balance of activities among

the organs and the individuals en-gaged in the enterprise;

2 Securing unity of effort; and3 Establishing and watching the junc-

tion moments when different sec-tions have necessarily to get dove-

. tailed in their work.

This requires particular attention in res-pect of the subject-function and the service-functions within the enterprise - - that is thefunction forming the objective of the enterpnseand the specialist services needed for the effi-cient discharge of the subject-function.

6 External Affairs. This includes con ,tact and negotiation at policy level with agen-cies, outside the enterprise, in the political,economic, and social spheres both in the publicand the private sectors.

28 Puzzle due to Interlocking

Two factor s have been causing a puzzlein th e designing of the classification of manage-ment, in addition to the difficulties caused bythe late development of literary warrant in thesubject and by the literary warrant developingfirst in the applied field and its not yet havingdeveloped appreciably in the pure field. Thispuzzle has been baffling classificationists. Thetwo factors are of the nature of interlocking.

44

The first interlocking is between knowledge ofmanagerial skill and that of technical or subjectskill needed in the production of the commodityor service, forming the objective of the enter-prise. The second interlocking is between thedifferent branches and sub-branches of manage-ment itself. To rationalise the classification ofmanagement, these two interlockings should beclearly seen, unlocked, and restored.

281 First Interlocking

Fayol did this for the first kind of inter-locking. He showed that every participant inan enterprise - - workman to manager or clerkto head of state -- should have both managerialand subject skill. The difference lies only inthe proportion of the two skills needed. Toconcretise the interlocking, F'a yo l gave an abs-tract model of the varying proportions amongthe employees of different positions, and forthe heads of enterorises of different sizes.(vide table on the ~ext page).

The benefit of the above sample analysisby Fayol is that we are able to realise thatmanagerial function and subject function areseparable and should be studied and thereforeclassified as distinct disciplines. Some acute-ness is necessary to spot out the subject func-tion in an enterprise. For example, it isTechnology in a factory; Sale in a commercialbusiness; Investment in a bank; Safety of theState and Social Welfare in a government. Sincemanagement is more abstract than enterprise,when both of them appear in mutual r el at rori ina document, management should succeed en-terprise, in the facet formula. This is accord-ing to the Principle of Decreasing Concrete-ness in the facet formula, which is more orless stabilised and may'be taken as a corol-lary of the Canon of Increasing Concretenessto be satisfied by the sequence of classes bothon the shelf and in the doc urn ent a taon list.

282 Second Interlocking

The second kind of interlocking IS due tothe fact that any branch c r sub-branch of mana-gement throws forth all the branches peculiarto the main trunk manag ern ent itself. In otherwords, any branch or sub-branch of manage-

ment becomes an enterprise by itself. In addi-tion to its own distinctive technique, it admitsof the skill of rn ana gern errt also. There existdocuments in which a particular branch or sub-branch of management is the host class andthe whole or any branch of management occursin a facet of it. Let us illustrate. As anexample of moving up from the side of a sub-branch to possible host branches, location andlay-out will arise as a sub-branch in top-management, and every other department likeproduction engineering, production control,time-study, motion-study, tools, purchase,stores, accounts, budget, and general office.Again, as an example of moving down from theside of a host branch. to possible sub-branches,we shall take the branch, General Office Func-tions, as the type. It has within itself most ofthe branches of management, in little.

l' Top Management: - Surely the object-ive should be stated and remembered, it maybe taken as carrying out communication withinand without the enterprise with the greatestpossible eff ic iencv . The work of the branchshould be p r op er l, parcelled out and distributedto groups of staff; this is organisation and plan-ning. The expenditure of the department shouldbe watched and c;ontrolled; this is budgetary con-trol.

Jun 1956 V 3 N 2

2 Location:- There should be liaisonwith heads of other depa r t rn er.t s ; this is exter-nal affairs. The location of the General Officewithin the campus of the enterprise needs asmuch thought as the location of the campusits elf.

3 Lay-out: - This involves the determi-nation of the ideal flow of materials within thedepartment, and the most economical distri-bution of the room of the chief and of the dif-ferent sections 01 the staff. There is a conti-nuous output of contributions on this.

4 Tool Design and Maintenance:- Theoperation of the department requires manytools such as dictaphone, typewriting machine,filing cabinets and trays, not to speak of pen,ink, pencil, paper and other stationery. Someof these may have to be selected from themarket and s'orne may have to be designed tosuit the particular requirements of the office.In either case, they will have to be maintainedin an efficient condition.

5 Mechanical Handling: - We hear of officework being "Fordized"; that is the papers andfiles are carried by moving bands from the -clerks performing one process to those perform-ingthe next, the band finally emptying them atthe despatch sectior. th r oug h a chute.

6 Work Study: - There is ample scope tosimplify and standardise clerical work with theaid of time-study and motion-study, and to de-sign tables, chairs and other equipment to se-cure economy in the performance of work.

7:- Personnel:- There is certainly aresidue of personnel work to be done within thedepartment to maintain morale, to formulatequalifications for staff, to make suggestions fortraining etc.

8 Production: - There is certainly needto produce a work chart for the details and thesequence of the various operations and to prac-tice production control with the aid of the workchart.

9 Accountancy: - The subsidiary accountsof the department will have to be maintainedAnd the budget of the department should be pre-pared.

It may happen that certain branches arethin and perhaps even absent in some cases.Some of the branche s may give difficulty inidentifying; but they can be isolated and namedif some care is exercised. The difficulty isusually generated in the verbal plane.

283 Puzzle due to Locus

Puzzles arise also in regard to the pla-cing of managerial documents in the over-allsequence of the classes.

1 In the first pla ce , the inordinatelyslow emergence of literary warrant in the purefield of rriana.ge rrient , has caused a puzzle insecuring a place for pure rna nag erne nt arnongthe main classes, that is in the array of thefirst order in the classification of the universeof knowledge.

2 Secondly, even in the applied field,the choic e of the host c las s is a sourc e of puz-zle. In an enterprise engaged in the productionand distribution of co rnrnod it ie s and servicescatering to physical or near-physical wants,the host class is the appropriate industry-sub-division of the rna in class, economics.

3 In an enterprise engaged in satisfyingrrient a l , political, and social wants, the ten-dency is to use as host class the main classdealing with the technique of satisfying the want,e. g. library, hospital, education, politicalscience, home ecoriornv , and law. The mana ,gerial documents of an institution are usually

46

made to have the institution as the host class.However, all schemes do not decide theseissues in the same way.

4 Further, there are some border lineca s e s where it is difficult to decide whether thehost subject for their rnanag e r ia l literatureshould be found in the main class economics orin the main class taking the technique of theproduction of the commodity or the service con-cerned. Newspaper rria na.gerne nt , home lTIana-gement, town and country planning, housing,and forestry are examples of border line cases.

5 Again within the rna in clas s economic s,certain personality isolates other than an indus-try call to be treated as host class for their ownrnana ger ia l documents. Cornrn er ce , money,banking, public finance, and insurance areexamples.

6 Moreover, on account of SOlTIereasonor other, it has been the practice of taking outof industries and giving a distinct place in thepe r s ona lit y facet of ecoriorn ic s to the servicesof corrirnurricat i.on and transport. Thereforetheir ma nag er ial doc urn ent s will have to go withth em . This puzzle of course is something pe-culiar to economics itself.

7 With regard to the other puzzles, thereis need to arrive at some agreed criterion todetermine locus or host class of rna nag e r ia ldocuments in the applied field.

3 IDEA PLANE

Both in designing a scheme of classifica-tion and in applying it to the classification of adocument, the first step is to analyse in theidea plane. This analysis is dependent on theuniverse of knowledge under consideration - itspast development, the trend of its future deve-Ioprue nt , and its structure. This is independentof the s cherne of classification into which it hasto be fitted. It is intrinsic to the subject itself.The a.naly s is is best done in t er m s of the fivefunda rnent a l categorie s per sonality, matt e r ,energy, space and time and the concepts ofround, level, facet, array, and zone. One na-turally begins with the first round. It is oftenthe fir st level of per sonality rnanife station thatneeds first attention.

3 t Per sonality Facet

The whole of section 2 is really a probeinto the per sonalitv facet of round 1, level 1.

CLASSIFICATION OF MANAGEMENT

A local name should be improvised for it. Sincethe isolate ideas rn ent io n ad in section 2 corres-pond to the vari JUS functions arising in manage-ment' can we use the name Function Facet?

311 Array of order 1

The next point for decision is the preier-red helpful sequence of the isolates in the arrayof order 1. Arranged by the Principle of Laterin Time, a helpful sequence may be:-

Top-Management; General Office; Pro-duction; Public Relations; Sale; Personnel;and" Accounts and Finance Departments.

There is a common tendency, however,to combine General Office, and Accounts andFinance. Moreover, Personnel is a servicede pa r trn ent covering all else. It may there-fore be helpful not to put it in their midst. Itis desirable therefore to put it at the begin-ning or at the end of the sequence. But it is un-helpful to oust Top-Managernent from the headof sequence. Thus the end of the sequence issuggested. The resulting sequence is:-

Top-Management; Production; PublicRelations; Sales; General Office; Finance andAccounts; and Personnel.

312 Array of Order 2

We have next to decide. s irnila r ly , thehelpful sequence in each of the seven arrays oforder 2, arising respectively from the sevenisolates of order 1. We shall take the secondorder array of Production for demonstration.Arranged by the Principle of Later in Time, ahelpful sequence may be:

Plant Engineering; Simplification andStandardisation; Production Engineering; Pur-chase; Execution; Production 'Control; Inspec-tion; and Stores and Material Control.

But there are a few special considerationsStores can also have claim to corn e immediatelyalter Purchase. Further, Purchase is not ofthe same subject or technique germane tothe enterprise, as Production Engineering onthe one side of it, and Execution, Production

. Control and Inspection on its other side. Itshould therefore be rescued from its being jam-

med between high-brow techniques. The indica-tion is that it may be brought down the sequenceto just before Stores. Plant Engineering is likehouse-keeping. It too is not high-brow techniquepeculiar to the enterprise. A more helpfulplace will be near the end. The resulting se-quence is:

Simplification and Standardisation; Pro-duction Engineering; Execution; ProductionControl; Inspection; Purchase; Stores andMaterials Control; P'l ant Engineering.

The sequence of the isolates in the otherarrays of order 2 should be fixed in a similar

,way. To save space, the results alone will begiven in the schedule at the end.

313 Array of Order 3

We shall take the array of order 3 occur-ring under Production Engineering a~ the samplefor study. According to the Principle of Laterin Time, the following may be taken as a moreor less helpful sequence:

Design and Development: Analysis intosub-assemblies, components, and operations;Specification, for each unit, of the standard ofquality with limits of tolerance, the procedurefor each operation, the tool etc, the extent oftooling, and the time for each operation (toge-ther called Production Chart); Specifying thequantity and quality of the materials required;Specifying the scrap permissible in each opera-tion; Specifying the sequence of operations, themachine load and output, the semi-commoditiesto be purchased from outside, ensuring thecorrect quantity of materials and components,and fixing the over-all time-table (togethercalled Production Planning); and Specifyingthe new machines, tools, gauges, etc re-quired.

The sequences in the other arrays oforder 3 and of higher orders should be fixedin a similar way.

314 Moot Point

The finding of the appropriate host iso-late for Rate Fixing, Wage Fixing, and PriceFixing is a moot point. Can Rate Fixing andWage Structure be a subisolate of personnel

47

RANGANATHAN

and Wage Fixing and Price Fixing subisolat e sof Accountancy? Or, should Rate Fixing andWage Structure be isolates in array of or der 1?

315 Level 2 of Personality

Perhaps the isolates in the per sonalityfacet of level 2 in round 1 should be made ofthe Boards, Committees, Offices etc made upof persons'. In this the analogy m ay be takenfrom the schedule found useful in politicalscience and the constitution of a country, withsome modifications. The first isolate foundthere is IHeadl. Perhaps this may be retained,though the designation rriay vary as President,Chairman, etc. This isolate may have to besubdivided into Vice-Head, Deputy-Head, etc.if need arises. The second isolate found thereis 'Executivel. This term has a different rne an ,ing in managerial literature. Its equivalentmay be taken as Board of Directors, Committeeof Management etc. The third isolate in poli-tical science is ILegislaturel, and the fourthis IPartyl. In management, these may be re-placed by IGeneral Body' and an intermediatebody such as, 'Council' between the GeneralBody and the Board of Directors. The nextdivision 'Local Body' in political science maybe replaced by 'Committee'. There is a trendin the management of enterprises to have a bodycorresponding to 'Judlci2ry' in political science.Corresponding to it we may have to find a suit-able term. Can we use the term "Officers" or"Executives"? To some degree and in someadapted form, these isolates will be applicablenot only to the furic t io na I isolate Top-Manage-ment, but to every other isolate in the person-ality facet of level 1 in round 1.

32 Matter Facet

As in all other c la s s e s , in rnanag ern erittoo matter facet, gives difficulty. It is conjec-tured that it may occur in the first round whenthe host personality isolate is Production, Fin-ance, or Personnel. We should remember thatthe matter isolate in round 1 is an 'actand'that is, something on whic n the action denotedby the succeeding energy isolate is turned.

sa r y to settle the schedule of isolates in thematter facet of round I suited to the various hostisolates taken with the succeeding energy isola-tes in round 1. There appears to be no royalroad to this except looking for micro documentspresenting this facet and actually classifying asmany of them as possible, with a provisionalschedule, and modifying it tentatively in thelight of the needs arising. Then only, it will bepossible to arrive at a satisfrctory, stable sche-dule.

33 Energy Facet

FayoI's analysis of the work of msna ge ,ment yields the chief isolates in th e energy facetof round 1 when the host is either the basic classManagement or the personality isoIat e Top-Man-agement. They may be thrown into 2 more orless helpful sequence as follows:-

Policy; Organisation: Function (Authorityand Responsibility); Supervision to eliminatefriction, waste, and deadlock arid to securesmooth and efficient working; Co-ordination ofthe work of the different elements in the struc-ture of the organisation; Providing cures incase of break-down; Improvement.

This sequence of isolates grafts as itwere and is mnemonic with the isolates in theenergy t ace t of Medicine, Po l iri c a l Science,and Sociology. When the host isolate in thepreceding personality facet is anything otherthan Top-Management, a change is necessary inthe isolates of the energy f acet . For as statedin section 282, each of these isolates taken alongwith the main class "MCInagement" is itself anenterprise in little. Therefore it has its ownspecific Techniques, wbichjs houl.d figure as iso-lates in the energy facet. These specific energyisolates will have to be found out separately foreach host isolate In the personality facet. Man-agement can only be one of them. Therefore, theisolates appearing in the energy facet of the mainclass will appear only in the energy facet of thesecond round ~uving Manag em ent as the hostisolates in the first round. This shift to a laterround occurs in the management in every subjectin the applied fieLd.

34 Personality Facet in Round 2

There is another result of each of the per-sonality isolates other than Top-Management be ,ing equivalent to an enterprise by itself. It is theappearance, as isolates of round 2 after the ener-gy isolate' Management', of isolates similar tothose of the personality facet of round 1, in so faras the host isolate in the array of order 1 de-mands or permits.

35 Matter Facet in Round 2

The isolates for the matter facet, if anyin the second round, will vary with the host.

4 VERBAL PLANE

There is near -chaos in the verbal plane,in the field of 'Management'. It clouds the is-sues in the idea plane. The construction of theschedule is therefore made difficult. The cloudin the idea plane aberrates the analysis in thatplane. Therefore, the assignment of isolatesto the different rounds, levels, facets, and evenfundamental cat ego r ies suffers; and the synthe-sis to be done in the notational plane suffersequall y. This diffic ulty is not pec ulia r to ananalytico-synthetic classification only. It dogsequally any enumerative classification at thestage when the classificationist builds the mono-lithic class numbers.

41 Main Class

There is no agreement even in the wordby which the main class itself should be denoted.Management, Adrn irri st r at io n, and Organisationare the rival claimants. In certain applied fieldslike ~overnment, local government, court of law,hospital, and library, Administration has beenmuch in use. On the other hand, in industry, en-terprise giving service, landed estate, and edu-cation, Management has been much in use. Inthe former groups, Management is used to denotethe branch 'Office Function'. In the latter group,Administration is used to denote that branch. Indespair, as it were, L Gulick improvised an ex-pressive initionyrn to denote the main class. Itwas Posdocarb (= Planning, Urganising, Staff-ing, Directing. Co-ordinating, Reporting, and

It is saidto have been adopted in the global sense at ameeting, held in 1910 in the apartment of Gantt,between Justice L D Brandeis (then a lawyer),Gantt, Gilbreth and a few other engineer s , toprepare the brief in a case on Railway FreightRates to be argued by Brandeis before the Inter-state Commerce Commission of USA. Let ustherefore adopt BManagementB Cl.S the name ofthe main class.

42 Isolates

There is similar disagreement in theterm for practically any isolate in the person-ality facet as well as the energy facet. Someexamples of alternative claimants are given be-low.

Top-management and Direction; PolicyMaking and Programme Planning; Direc-tor, Chief Executive, and President; Pro-duction Engineering, Process Engineer-ing' Production Planning and ProductionControl; Production Manager, Works Man-ager , Works Engineer, Industrial Engi-neer; and Chemical Engineer. Public Re-lations, Information, Public Information,and Propaganda: Sales Manager, SalesDirector, Sales Executive, and Commer-cial Manager; and use of Distribution inthe place of Sale; Office Manager, Cleri-cal Manager, Manager, and Administra-tive Manager: Personnel Officer and Wel-fare Officer, and about 60 other names;Board of Directors, Governing Body, Exe-cutive Committee, Managing Committeeetc; Policy Direction, Plan, Objective andPurpose; Organisation, Plan, and Classi-fication: Span of Control and Span of Su-pervision; Functional Service, Staff Func-tion, and Service Function, as againstSubject-Matter Function.

first t irn e , t e r rn ino logy takes long to get stand-ardised. But the ideas get defined rnuch earlier.To postpone the work of designing a sche rne ofclassification till the t e r rnino logy gets stan-dardised would be like postponing to enter thesea until the waves stop. Nor is it practicableto load the schedule of classification with a for-rna l definition of every te r m occurring in it.This is particularly true today in regard to Man-ag em ent . The only practicable course is to usethe schedule of classification itself as the re-rn edy . For, the schedule arranges the isolateideas in an hierarchical sequence. The isolatenurn ber s , reflect this hierarchical sequence.The classes and class nurn ber s also have thishierarchical quality. If the isolate nurnb er orthe class nurn be r is thrown in the Io r m of achain, the connotation of any link in the chainis shown by the cornp lex of lower links. Andthe denotation of a link is rnad e definite "lndunique by the corripl ex of upper links. In rnyProlegoll1ena to (ibrary classification (Ed 2ready for the press), the f or rn er ll1ethod offinding the rn eani ng of a t e r rn in a shcedule ofclassification is said to be governed by theCanon of Eriurn er at ion, and the latter, by theCanon of Context. These two canaons and theexplanation given incidentally in Section 2"Developll1ent of Branches" are brought intouse in the schedules given at the end.

5 NOT ATIONAL PLANE

While work in the idea plane dependsonly on the intrinsic attributes of the field ofknowledge to be c la s sif ied and not on the sche-.rn e of classification used, and work in the verbalplane depends on the natural language used andnot on the ordinal language characteristic of thes chem e of classification used, work in the nota-tional plane has, by its very nature, to dependon the s chern e of classification used. Therefore,this section and the succeeding ones have to beturned on a particular s chern e of classification.It is now increasingly realised that the ever-dy-narn ic nature of the universe of knowledge indi-cates the use of an analytico-synthetic s ch em ein preference to an enu rne r at ive one. In thelatter, the rigidity of enu rn er at ion begins evenat the very outset; while in the f or rner , rigidityis relegated to a rnuc h later stage when funda-rn ent a l constituent isolates are to be enu rner a ;ted in the diverse facets.

51 Facet Analysis and Mixed Notation

The facet and phase aria ly s is , to be im ,plernent ed in an analytic 0 - synthetic scherne ,ca ll s for a mixed notation. There should be atleast two spt;cies of digits -- a species of sub-stantive digits to represent isolates, and a spe-cies of digits for use as connecting symbols.This has been shown in ll1y Report 5 to FID/CA(1955). BC, CC, and UDC are the only publish-ed schemes of universal coverage using distinct:species of digits for these two purposes. In BC,it is only in an incipient stage.

52 Zone Analysis and MixedNotation in an Array

The nurn be r of fundamental constituentisolates arising in an array is often greater ·thClnnumber of digits of anyone specie s in cornrn oriusage. This by itself rnay be rnet by the use ofgroup notation. But, in rnarry facets, an arrayhas to be heterogenous; that is, some of its iso-lates are common to rno s t host classes, whilesome are special to the particular host classunder consideration; again, some isolates haveto be got by enumeration, while other s are bet-ter got by sorn e device such a s alphabetical,chronological, geographical or subject device;further, som e are isolates proper, while othershave to be quasi-isolates or characteristics forthe fo r rnat ion of isolates proper. To meet therequirements of such a heterogeneity in its iso-lates, an array has itself to use a mixed notation;that is, it has to use substantive digits of dif-ferent species. This le ad s to the fo r m at ion ofzones in an array. The irnp lern en ta t io n in thenotational plane, of the findings of the zone ana-lysis in the idea plane, is only incipient in UDe.It is more developed in CC. Its use of four spe-cies . digits - Rorn an small, Arabic nurne r a l ,Ron. _.1capital, and circular brackets used forpacket notation - - enables the formation of fourzones in an array, corresponding to these res-pective species of digits.

53 Law of Parsimony andOctavising Digit

Taking a base of the nine Arabic nurn er ;a l s , for definiteness, if the nurnb er of isolatesin an array is greater than 9, group-notation be-

CLASSIFICATION OF MANAGEMENT

comes necessary. Suppose, for example, thatthe number of isolates is 10; then we have to usea group no t at ion of two digits; and digits for anisolate number of the array becomes two. Onthe other hand, if we make the last digit of thespecies -- that is 9 -- a mere octavising andnon-significant digit, the first eight isolate num-bers need to have only one digit each and the twolast isolate numbers only will have two digitseach; thus the average number of digits for anisolate number of the array is only 1.2; this ismore satisfying to the Law of Parsimony. Thisis examined in full detail in the forthcoming se-cond edition of my Prolegomena to library cle>s-sification. This gives rise to the concept oflast octave, penultimate octave, etc in the thirdzone of an array; this leads to the convenienceof specialising each of these octaves to accom-modate special isolates got by a particular de-vice __ s ay , alphabetical device in the last octave,chronological device in the penultimate octave,etc. Even if all the isolates in an array are tobe got only by enumeration, the Law of Parsi-mony is satisfied, because, the total length ofthe array is then equal to the sum of the lengthof all the zones. A far greater number of iso-lates can be represented by a single digit in anarray with a mi~ed notation than in one with a .pure notation.

54 Law of Parsimony andTelescoped Array

Again, if we can be dead certain thatthe total nu rn ber of isolates in the correspond-ing zones of two consecutive arrays will neverexceed the length of the zone, the two arrayscan be telescoped in the zone. This will makethe average number of digits smaller than other-wise. This is studied in the forthcoming edi-tion of the Prolegomena.

cials in its penultimate octave. We have so farcome ac r o ss this only in arrays of a personal-ity facet. A system isolate can be followed byan isolate belonging to the first or the secondzone of the same array, but separated by a com-ma in the notational plane -- a s if they belongedto two different facets. This too gives s at isf'ac ;

'tion to the Law of Parsimony.

56 Increase in Versatility

To put it in general terms, the use of,mixed notation, to provide for a distinctive setof connecting symbols and to mark off differentzones in an array, adds to the ver satility of ascheme of classification, In other words, it 'en-.abl e s the notation of the scheme to keep stepwith more of the variegated demands of the uni-verse of knowledge, experienced in the ideaplane, than the us e of pur e notation.

57 Guinea-Pig

Since the CC has the greatest species ofdigits in active and differentiated use, it ischosen as the guinea-pig for demonstratingthe work in the notational plane. The schedulesin the later sections are CC schedules, for thesame reason. To change over to the notation ofan enurner ative scheme or to a largely enumera-tive scheme like UDC, all possible class num-bers may be synthesised from the CC schedulesof isolates for the diverse facets and then an all-through enumerated schedule of class numbersmay be arrived at.

6 SYMBOL FOR MANAGEMENT

We have to find a symbol for Management,as a main class and as an isolate. This has to bedone in the case of many other concepts.- For·example, Law can figure as a main class as wellas an isolate in some other class; so it is with

It is found th at a subject or an isolate in Mathematics,Physics, and Chemistry. But therea facet of a subject can be expounded according is an important difference between these latterto a particular system of exposition or may be subjects and Management. That is the d'iffe r en-,studied only within a special restricted context ce in the sequence in which the appearance as anor conditions.

their appearance as an isolate is looked after inthe notational plane by the subject device. Ma-nagement is not a subject of that nature. PureManagement has been described as a distillatenewly being raised from applied fields in whichit had been for long recognised and well develop-ed as an isolate. In CC, a new main class ofthat nature is placed in the fourth zone; that is,it is represented by a packeted number. Thenurn ber within the brackets is th et of the subjectwith which it has had good association. This islargely a matter of judgment based on literarywarrant. As need arises for such a new mainclass to be recognised, the users of the schemeshould come to an agreement about the numberto be put within the brackets.

61 Main Class Number

It is proposed that Pure Managementmay be denoted by (X). Another pos sible clai-mant is perhaps (W). How to choose betweenthese claimants? The answer will depend onthat to another question. Which has been morecultivated -- Public Administration or Manage-ment in the economic and industrial sphere? Inwhich of these applied fields, literary warrantshows more of proliferation? It is believed thatthese have happened more in the industrial andeconomic field than in the other. It is in thisbelief. that (X) is proposed as the main class'number fOI Pure Management.

62 Isolate Number

The significant digit in the isolate num-ber for management has been 8. This meansthat the isolate number is 8 or 98 or 998, etc.It may be repeated that the isolate number cannotbe got by the subject device in any applied field,as the main class number has itself been gotfrom the applied field. This is true of all mainclasses accommodated in the fourth zone of themain array.

63 Similarity

The facet fcrmula and the schedule foreach facet to be used after (X) the main classwill be the same as those to be used after theisolate 8, or 98, or 998 etc as the case may be.

Note 34:. It is necessary to subdivide theisolates of zone 3 into different standards ofabnormality, in order to apply the provision innote 33. This can be done only after such stan-dards of abnormality get established in the pub-lished documents.

Note 35: - The Canon of Enumeration fur-nishes the denotation of most of the terms inthe divisions of work study and of "work study"itself. But the following terms need to be de-fined: -

"Motion study" consists of dividing workinto it s most fundamental element/ elementspossible; studying these elements separatelyand in relation to one another; and from thesestudied elements when timed, building methodsof least waste. - - Gilbreth

"Process analysis" is the division of apiece of work into its constituent jobs or op-erations and the related movement of materi-als, if any; it is followed by a study of thenecessity and effectiveness of each constituentoperation in the performance and completionof the pi ec e of work. This has' been called"job ana ly s i s" in my Library administration(1935).

"Operation analysis" is the division of anoperation into its motion-elements; it is fol-lowed by a study of the elements that can beeliminated, or combined, or may be made in adifferent sequence, and of "the one best way" ofdoing the operation; the degree of resolution isa matter of flair.

"Micromotion study" is the time-measure-ment for each of the motion-e lements or ther-bligs of an operation or job.

II Time study" is the determination of thetime required to do an operation in "the onebest way"; its chief use is in setting standardsfor 'base wage'.

In micromotion study, time is measuredoften correct to .0005 minute with a micro-chronometer and with a motion-picture-film,and s irrio graph.

In time study, time is usually measuredc or r ect to .02 or .03 minute with a stopwatch,or correct to .01 minute with a Marstochrone.

Note 43:- The above four isolates in thesecond octave of the penultimate octave form amore concrete sector than the one formed byits first octave. This means that there is teles-coping of facets, as viewed from the idea plaue ,In other words, a class nurnb e r may have afacet made of an isolate taken from the secondoctave and an additional facet of a later leveltaken from the fir st octave of the pe nult ir-:' "e

Note 44: - The resulting sequence violatesthe Principle of Later in Evolution, in as muchas it puts the stages of development to prototypeposterior to the stage of manufacturing. Thisis an unhappy result imposed by notational exi-gency. The only justification in its favour willhave to be invoked by applying literary warrantand arguing that this sequence is in accordancewith the Principle of Favoured Category.

Note 45:- Zone 2 of array of order 1 ofGpi] is independant of the product or the

service produced by the enterprise. But, asthe schedule shows, the penultimate octave ofzone 3 of array of order 1 depends on the pro-duct or the service concerned. The last octaveof zone 3 of array of order 1, being scheduledhereafter, is common virtually to all enter-prises.'

The first 19 examples are in the field of appliedmanagement as applied to an industrial enter-prise. The last two examples are in the fieldof pure management.

82 Retrospect and prospectThis is a first systematic attempt to apply

the results of zone analysis, communicated inthe Sixth Report (1956) to the FID/CA - theCommittee of the International Federation forDocumentation, on the General Theory of Clas-sification. It demonstrates the possibility ofeconomy in the idea plane, if zone analysis isapplied. This has also laid bare many pointsthat require investigation.

821 Technique of Telescoping

In effect, this is an experiment in thetechnique If telescoping different levels offacets of one and the same fundamental cate-gory.

8211 The irn por t a nc e of this wa s broughtto my notice by B C Vick-ery and E J Coates,when 1 visited them in London in June 1954.

8212 The experience gained in doing thispaper shows that facets of different fund arn ent a lcategories should not be telescoped and that thetelescoped facets should all belong to one andthe same round of one and the same fundamen-tal category.

822 Spread out into LevelsAn implication of 8212 is that the different

sectors in the telescoped facet spread out intodifferent levels of facets if a do c'urn ent cov~rsmore than one sector.

8221 Another implication is that theconnecting symbols for the levels so spreadout should all be the same as for the fundamen-tal category concerned.

823 Principle of Concreteness

To conform to the Principle of IncreasingConcreteness among documents, it is necessarythat the sequence of facets in the class num-bers - that is, in the facet formula _ shouldfollow the Principle of Decreasing Sequence.This is the Principle of Inversion enunciated inthe forthcoming edition of the prolegomena tolibrary classification. To secure this result,the sectors in the schedule of the telescopedfacet should be arranged in Increasing Sequenceof Concreteness.

RANGANATHAN

8231 In developing this paper, there wastemptation towards a pitfall. Relatively to theother s.ect or s , the concreteness of the firstsector was so low that it tempted to the pres-cription of a connecting symbol belonging tothe fundamental category next in concretenessto the one to which the sector belonged in theenumerated schedule of the telescoped schedule,The first sector in the schedule of the persona-lity schedule was taken to belong to the funda-mental category energy and this was according-ly given colon as its connecting symbol.

8232 But the error was ·forcibly broughtto notice, by the occurrence of homonymousclass numbers, the facet formed by the firstsector of the personality facet being indistingui-shable from the regular facet of energy when itbecomes necessary, Thus, the connecting sym-bol for the facet formed by the first sector waschanged to comma,

824 Number of SectorsIt is found convenient to recognise the

following as different sectors in the array ofthe first order in a telescoped facet:- 1 Zone 2;2 Penultimate octave of Zone 3; 3 Last octaveof zone 3; 4 Second octave within the last oc-tave of zone 3 _ that is, isolate numbers likeZA, ZB, ZC, etc; 5 Zone 4,

8241 These sectors should be in theIncreasing Sequence of Concreteness,

8242 Similar sectors may also be formedin an array of second or later order. For ex-ample, the array of the second order having"Y7 Industrial relations" has sectors.

8243 If necessary, an additional sectorcan be formed with isolate numbers like (ZQ),(Z01), etc. This sector will just precede thesector consisting of (Z1), (Z2), ... (ZA), (ZB),etc.

825 Relative ConcretenessThe determination of the relative con-

creteness of the sectors, in the idea plane, isnow a matter of judgement.

8251 By constructing schedules withsectors in many subjects - of course admittingof them - sufficient experience may perhapsbe gained to have a fool-proof mechanicalprescription for relative concreteness.

826 Isolate Numbers InSpread-out Facets

It is believed that the isolate number ina facet got by the spreading out of sectors canconsist of only digits beginning with the digit

72

occurring in the array whose sectors arespread out.

8261 It is this possibility that leads toeconomy in notation,

8262 But it needs confirmation that thiswHI not lead to homonymous class numbers.This is a matter for investigation, by applyingthe principle to many documents in many sub-j ects admitting of such te Ie sc oped facets.

827 Limitation in ScopeThis elaborate technique of telescoping

facets becomes necessary only in the dept hclassification of micro documents and in sub-jects of a specialist kind. In the classificationof macro documents in the form of books andwhole periodicals and in the s ubj ects of popularinterest, it does not arise.

8271 Further, the sectors in zone 3 willnot be available for such telescoping use if theisolates in them have to be formed by alpha-betical device.

8272 So also, the sectors of zone 4 willnot be available if the isolates in them have tobe formed by subject device.

828 Polishing WorkThe schedules iri section 7 are only a

first draft. They need polishing up so as tosecure conformity to the Canons of ConsistentSequence and of Scheduled Mnemonics, to theextent possible without violence to the Canonof Helpful Sequence which is paramount. Theresulting class numbers and their sequenceshould be tested, by classifying a large num-ber of varied documents, both macro and micro,in the fields of pure and applied management.The schedule should be finalised in the light ofthe experience thus gained. The schedule shouldalso be suitably adapted to classify Public Ad-rninis t na t ion and the Management of other enter-prises and institutions, such as Home Manage-ment, Hotel Management, School Management,University Management, Library Management,and Hospital Management. This will give suf-ficient work for a few research students. Therecan be no shorter route to a stable and enduringschedule for the clas sification of doc uments inmanagement, which is a subject in which a con-siderable turbulance has been taking place sinceWorld War II. This turbulance is bound to con-tinue, in our attempt to organise our work eco-nomically to feed, house, and clothe the ever-increasing population of the world.
