In Chap. 7, we considered the implementation of American management education but in this chapter, we turn our attention to human relations, industrial engineering (IE), and the Ford system regarding the deployment of American-style management and production systems. Deployment of human relations (HR below) began early because it was regarded as a priority for the US, in Germany’s efforts to adopt US management models as part of the productivity movement. IE is an advanced form of scientific management that originated in America and gained broad acceptance after World War II. The Ford system was implemented in Germany even before the war and became commonplace afterward. This not only enabled mass production within the processing and assembly industries, but also became the basis for the post-war mass production system. In the following sections, we will describe how American-style management systems were implemented in Germany and the resulting changes in corporate management.
