High Level Manpower in Iran: From Hidden Conflict to Crisis

Taken from the Preface. "The recent overthrow of the Shah of Iran has distressed the Western world, which is so dependent upon Iranian oil supplies. Indeed, the experience has underscored the potential instability of other oil-exporting nations. This book explains some of the underlying causes that precipitated the Iranian revolution from the perspective of Iran's high-level manpower. The findings presented here follow from a year and half spent in Iran researching manpower problems. The discussion takes an interdisciplinary approach and stresses the interplay of economic and sociopolitical factors withing the context of the labor market and organizational development."
