Deming, a statistician with a PhD in physics, and Joseph M. Juran, a former engineer at American Telephone and Telegraph (AT&T). Deming was one of the first to suggest a shift from problems to processes as the focus of organizational development, and was highly respected in Japan as an organizational consultant. Deming, who argued for process-focused improvement methods that emphasized the use of statistics, is credited with part of the economic turnaround that happened in Japan from 1950 to 1980.
Action learning was pioneered by Reg Revans, who argued that small groups of peers, from factory floor workers to managers, could learn from and support each other so as to achieve significant gains in productivity and quality. Revans insisted that only those who are directly involved in doing the work can effectively improve it, an idea that is at the roots of the development of "quality circles" in Japan. Chris Argyris, who criticized formal organizational systems stemming from the scientific management movement for neglecting both the social and egotistical needs of individuals, pioneered the concept of organizational learning, one of the main topics of this book.
The two main management figures of the First Industrial Revolution were Henry Fayol and Frederick Winslow Taylor. Fayol pioneered what became known as ''functionalism" a set of prescriptions to structure large organizations around forecasting, planning, and coordination activities. Later, functionalism was successfully put into practice by Alfred P. Sloan at General Motors. But the giant of this period was undoubtedly Taylor, whose principles of scientific management (Taylor, 1911) had an impact that extended well beyond his time.
