In many ways, historians have frequently learned about management behavior in unionized workplaces by examining labor-management relations. The management experience has thus often been seen through the eyes of rank-and-file workers rather than from the perspective of managers themselves. This book discusses how managers were trained and educated in Canada in the years following the Second World War.Making Managers in Canada, 1945 - 1995 seeks to shed light on the experience of workers who have not received much attention in business history: managers. This book approaches management training from both institutional and social history perspectives. Drawing from community colleges, universities, and companies in British Columbia, Ontario, and Québec, this book reveals the nature of management education and training in English and French Canada, It integrates institutional analysis, and examines how factors such as gender and social class shaped the development of Canadian management in the post-war years and illustrates the various international influences on Canadian management education Bibliography Includes bibliographical references Notes Print version record Subject Executives -- Canada -- History -- 20th century Executives -- Training of -- Canada -- History -- 20th century Management -- Study and teaching -- Canada -- History -- 20th century BUSINESS & ECONOMICS -- Industrial Management.
