Acknowledgements

My acknowledgements must be made to many persons. Foremost is Professor Emeritus John M. Pfiffner who ignited my enthusiasm and nurtured my early endeavours on the subject. Next is my former student and now associate in Pakistan, Dr. Aslam Niaz, Instructor at the National Institute of Public Administration in Karachi. We struggled together in developing much of the research instrumentality which provided the raw data of this study. The nine students of my experimental graduate seminar in Spring Semester 1964 showed their mettle and contributed much to the construction of the analytical stamp and the processing of the raw data: Robert P. Biller, Disabong Dhipayamontri, James C. Gerdes, Robert N. Giordano, Edward J. Hess, Nasir Islam, M. Anwar Khan, Mujib Sheikh, and Anwar H. Siddiqui.

Thanks should be given to the Comparative Administration Group of the American Society for Public Administration who provided early financial support. In this regard Professors Fred W. Riggs and Ferrel Heady should be singled out.

Also acknowledgement should be given to the Research Council of the University of Southern California for special financial assistance and the Computer Center for providing time at a very low cost.

I must thank the editors of the following journals for giving me permission to use part of my articles already published on the subject at hand: The Philippine Journal of Public Administration, The Indian Journal of Public Administration, and the NIPA/Journal, National Institute of Public Administration at Karachi.

In Pakistan I would like to extend thanks to a number of persons. Among these are: Khalid Hayat, Director of the Research Center, University of the Punjab; Mohammad Rafiq, Chief Technician, Research Center; and Zakia Naheed and Cindrilla Nishad, punch operators, Research Center. Special thanks must be given to Dr. M. Afzal, Head of the Department of Administrative Science, University of the Punjab, for his continued encouragement.

I cannot forget my good friend, Leo Jusseaume, US/AID Data Processing Advisor, who assured me that with patience the mechanical equipment would process my raw data. Then there was my colleague Robert Abramson, USC Advisor to the National Institutes of Public Administration. He listened to numerous lectures which I delivered on change and bore up under my periods of over-enthusiasm.

I must thank Dr. Marie Shepardson of the Lahore American Society who was more than a critic of my English, but an able scholar who noted many areas for which improvement was made. Then there was Mrs. Joyce Stewart who typed the final version of the manuscript and Aziz Ahmad and Rao Kifait Ali who typed earlier versions. I must thank C. J. Stewart, the husband of Mrs. Stewart, who drew the graphs in fine engineering style. I give them my thanks.

But above all I wish to thank my wife, Marie. She read much of the manuscript, and although not trained in this facet of social science, was a cool critic. If she could not understand it, back it came for a rewrite.

While she was too shrewd to let me practice on her what I wrote about, she contributed in numerous ways to the final version of this publication. I dedicate this study to her, my son Edward, now in college, and my two young teenage sons, Kevin and Drew, who still wish that their father was a baseball hero, scholarship not meaning much to them now. However, they were patient in my labors.

To all these and many others I owe a heavy debt of gratitude and again I thank them.

Foreword

by

John M. Pfiffner

I have followed from the genesis in late 1961 Dr. Jones' work on planned organizational change. During his three years at the University of Southern California we had many discussions on the subject. After he went overseas to Pakistan I read with interest his publications on planned organizational change and observed his maturing conceptualization of the subject.
