Discussion of behavioral pathologies and the tendency for managers to underestimate their impact. The behavioral pathologies are identified as Individual, Group, and Organizational, depending on the ambient conditions under which they surface. They can, however, be avoided through proper planning.

The Anachronistic Executive

Contends that management space is defined as a communication space, divided in two by a cognition partition, one part of which is the normal space, and one part of which is incompatible with typical executive behavior. When executives enter this part of the space it causes anachronistic behavior to take over and results in undesirable consequences.



First of two DVDs. A collection of the annotations by Rose Warfield, written over a ten year period, and revised intermittently, to accompany her database record of John Warfield papers. Includes copies of the documents, many of which are also found on the 2 DVD. See also, “John N. Warfield Writings and Related Research Materials: DVD 2 of 2-Papers and Report.”

 

 DVD-1 is a collection of the annotations by Rose Warfield, written over a ten year period, and revised intermittently, to accompany her database record of John Warfield papers. The DVD-1 contains annotation plus a digitized copy of each document. In most cases, these documents are duplicated on DVD-2, (Warfield, John's collection of his papers). Rose's collection is much smaller than John Warfield's since it concentrates on finished and published materials, rather than works in progress. Since Rose's collection shows the TITLES of the documents as FILE NAMES, the documents are easier to find in most cases. 

When searching this disk, DVD 1 OF 2  is a PARENT FOLDER and NOTES is the name of a SUB-FOLDER on the disk.  INVNGMU is a named SUB-FOLDER of  the NOTES folder.  On the disk, the folder INVNGMU  is the location holding Rose's records of donations by John N. Warfield  to Fenwick Library in  2000, 2004, 2007, 2008. (r.w. 2008)

The documents on DVD 1 can be identified only by TITLE. There are NO ID NUMBERS which would help to identify these PAPERS donated to George Mason University.  This INVNGMU list was created during the 1990's with the small office computer program BIBL, before Rose had begun the use of Microsoft Access Database with ID numbers.

Photocopies of correspondence with Ming-Sheng and students from the National Sun Yat-sen University, Taiwan who gave Warfield a gift in appreciation for his work. Includes pictures of the gift.

Prof's Shot in the Dark

Newspaper clipping likely from Lawrence Journal-World published in Lawrence, Kansas.

A program announcement for a conference on 18-19 March 1960 at University of Arizona in Tucson. The document lists the complete conference schedule & calendar of events, giving titles and authors of the papers being presented. Warfield gave a paper titled “Expanding the Computer Spectrum with Microwaves.”



The article is an overview and general summary of the articles appearing in this Special Issue, of which LI Ling is the guest editor.


This is the transcript of a 30 minute talk, a guest lecture for a Systems Design class taught by Dr. Antonio Rios. John Warfield presented the lecture by satellite TV from Tampa, Florida to the class on the ITESM campus in Chihuahua, Mexico, 29 October 2001.
