After November of 1991, the Handbook underwent several revisions and enlargements with the assistance of Roxana Cardenas. We have saved three of the pre-publication handbooks done by Warfield & Cardenas. Full citation: Warfield and Cárdenas, A Handbook of Interactive Management (Ames, IA: Iowa State University Press, 1994).

Uses examples from both government and industry to identify and compare 4 aspects of organizational decision-making in an effort to diminish the bad practices that go on in organizations. Three of these four aspects (groupthink, clanthink, and spreadthink) are cautionary and ask high-level managers to understand and become more selective in dealing with what is involved in group judgments in organizations. The presentation of the other aspect (linkthink) is prescriptive. Although it is founded on limited evidence of good results, it is hoped that a strong enough case is made for this fourth aspect to gain the attention of conscientious managers. See also, "Clanthink" which was the forerunner of this document.

The first page is a list of topical headings, numbered, then re-numbered, there are about 12 or 13 topics. Later pages refer to work of Lindblom, C.S. Peirce, Bales, Kemeny and others. Includes two-three pages which appear to be the beginning of a paper titled "Productivity of Groups.”

This is one typed page, plus a nicely typed title page, apparently a beginning for a "graphics dictionary" project. Likely done around the time he was working on “Graphics Language” or “Graphics Representation Glossary.”

A draft of a book. Serves as a good beginning introduction for someone wishing to understand the mathematics of structures and is easier to understand than the more elaborate papers which came later.
