Excerpt from Management It was not a very big leap, therefore, to begin my mit research in the mid 1950's with the question of whether management education and development also relied on similar techniques of indoctrination (schein 1961b). A number of best sellers had made just such an argument in response to what seemed like a proud stance on the part of some companies that they were teaching their new employees the company philosophy (whyte, Whyte chose to cast indoctrination in more negative terms, implying that it would produce a degree of conformity that would, at the minimum, be bad for the individual, and, in the end, be bad even for the company in that it would reduce the organization's innovative capacity if everyone were taught the same beliefs and values. Companies responded to this social pressure by de-emphasizing indoctrination and increasing their focus on management education instead.
