Description

This foundational work, created during the years of the Civil War, offers clear methods for building effective organizations—methods that remain in demand to this day.

Platon Mikhailovich Kerzhentsev was a Soviet state and public figure, a practitioner of the Revolution, who engaged in the scientific organization of labor and turned the experience of the Civil War into a coherent system of concrete management rules.

At the height of the Revolution and the Civil War, the country needed not theorists, but organizers—people who could bring order to chaos. Written by a prominent Bolshevik, Lenin’s associate, and the founder of the "Vremya" (Time) League, the book gave an entire generation a clear algorithm: how to take a disparate group of people and assemble an effective organization capable of solving problems of any scale.

This edition is a genuine testimony to its era and a fundamental work from which the Soviet school of management began; its practical value has not disappeared even today.
