particularities
The Aston Group
Under the name Aston Group, a group of organizational researchers in Great Britain became known who conducted research between 1961 and 1970 under the direction of Derek S. Pugh . Its official name was the Industrial Administration Research Unit of the Birmingham College of Advanced Technology . When the university was renamed Aston University in 1966, that name became associated with the group and the achievements. The Aston Group pioneered the statistical analysis of organizations and how they work, which, after Robert Chia, shaped a whole generation of researchers.
