Organizational Metamorphosis in Space Research and Development.

Tompkins, Phillip K.

Communication Monographs, v45 n2 p110-18 Jun 1978, Jun78

The communicative, and therefore organizational and managerial, aspects of the Marshall Space Flight Center's (MSFC) metamorphosis from Saturn V to Skylab are analyzed. MSFC's consistent successes are attributed to the organization's commitment to communication systems, its technical integrity, and its single-minded purpose. (JMF)
