Abstract
Picks up a current theme of manpower planning which extends the interest of the subject into the understanding of labour market process through detailed tracing of the historical patterns of particular occupations. Argues the value of such tracing. Employs the technique of biographical age distribution which is contrasted with the conventional organizational age distribution. An experiment using a target management occupation is used to illustrate this new technique – a method of career and occupational analysis which circumvents difficult problems of labour mobility.
