Alfred D. Chandler
Jr., a Pulitzer Prize-winning business historian who showed how transformations in
management
structure helped drive capitalism and
affected economies worldwide, died of cardiac arrest May 9 at
Long regarded
as the dean of management theory, he was responsible for exhaustive studies of major
GM board Chairman Alfred P. Sloan with his memoir, "My Years with General Motors."
The study of innovation and how wealth is generated was at the core of
much of his work, and
For answers, he usually turned to an analysis of management structure.
From his earliest studies, he chronicled how in the late 1800s the railroad
and telegraph made rapid industrial growth possible and how the gray-suited executive class
gradually replaced the entrepreneurial tycoon as the chief corporate power.
To shun the
standard focus on 19th century "robber barons" in favor of a more nuanced look at corporate supervisors was considered a major shift in historical review.
In this transition to a
greater professionalism,
he wrote about the birth of "a new economic Institution, the managerial
business enterprise, and a new subspecies of economic man, the salaried manager."
He advocated the importance of this salaried manager as an
independent force in business, a person whose expertise was portable and not forever tied to the company he over-saw.
"The Visible Hand," which championed his notion of the expert salaried
manager, challenged 18th,century economist
Adam Smith's emphasis on the
"invisible hand" of free-market forces in
capitalism.
In recent
years,
"The most
important difference — and this has been happening
since the 1880s — is the continuing transformation of big business by high-technology firms," he told Fortune magazine
last year.
