Anthropology and Human Relations in Business and Industry

Abstract

Dr. Richardson, for the past five years, has been at the Harvard School of Public Health, Cambridge, Massachusetts, concerned ultimately with applying the principles of prevention to the human problems of groups. He has conducted research in a coal-mining area, and of industrial organi? zations and communities. His interests have been in discovering precise interconnections among the sentiments, interactions, and performance of work groups, and, more recently, on perfecting methods for early diagnosis of human problems among work groups and in helping management develop their own programs of prevention. He is a founder and past president of The Society for Applied Anthropology. His publications in? clude: "Community Resettlement in a Depressed Coal Region," 1941-1942, 1948; and, with C. R. Walker, Human Relations in an Expanding Com? pany, 1948.
