- Title
Management Featherbeds Revisited.
- Authors
Svenson, Arthur L.
- Abstract
The article presents a response by Arthur L. Svenson to comments on his article concerning management featherbeds, from a summer, 1963 issue of the journal "California Management Review." He contends that two topics in his paper deserve additional discussion. These are the nature and use of power under conditions of management featherbedding and the problem of what to do with the feather-bedded manager. In terms of the nature and use of power in featherbedding the author notes that the pervasive characteristic of the practice has impact down to the last segment of management organization. He believes that some agency in the firm has to rout out featherbedding within management's own ranks.
