The Organization Man
Open accessAbstract
The Organization Man came out of magazine articles and an earlier book by Whyte on corporate and suburban life. Following a distinguished war record in the marines, Whyte had gone to work at Fortune magazine. The acquisition of a proper frame of mind toward all this was a slow process. The faded yellow second sheets of our daily report book tell the story. The advice of the old salesman became invaluable. While he had a distaste for any kind of dealer, with druggists he was implacably combative. The old salesman would bring us together in batches for several days of demonstration. The most immediately apparent thing about the General Electric program is the fact that it is a school. The most noteworthy feature of the General Electric approach is the emphasis on the “professional” manager. As in all training programs, the bulk of the instruction is on specifics.

About these checks
Registry, retraction, Cites and statistics results are computed, not judged, with one exception: a printed reference that no index lists is read once by a model before it counts as a citation error. Claims are extracted by a model and kept only when their quote appears verbatim in the text; each cited source is then checked, with a model’s help, for whether it says what the claim relies on. Those verdicts can be wrong — read the claim’s quote and the cited source before relying on one.
Statistics and arithmetic are recomputed, not judged.
Confidence bands are shown only for fields calibrated on our annotated test set. None is calibrated yet, so no band is shown.
