Charles Hampden-Turner (29 September 1934 London, England) is a British management philosopher, and Senior Research Associate at the Judge Business School at the University of Cambridge since 1990. He is the creator of ''Dilemma Theory'', and co-founder and Director of Research and Development at the Trompenaars-Hampden-Turner Group, in Amsterdam. == Biography == Hampden-Turner was born in London in 1934 and grew up in Cambridge, in a house on the site where Robinson College now stands. He was educated at Wellington College, a military public school attended by his father, and did his national service with the same regiment his father had served in, the Suffolk Regiment. On finishing military service, Hampden-Turner attended Trinity College, Cambridge, to read Social History, for the first part of the undergraduate Tripos. For Tripos II, he read Law. Politically, he was a keen debater, and spoke often in the Cambridge Union Society, from the vantage of being a committee member and elected Chairman of the Cambridge University Conservative Association. After coming down from university to London, Hampden-Turner spent a brief period working with an advertising agency, before applying to study for an MBA at the Harvard Business School. In his second (and final) year of the MBA he discovered a talent for Organisational Behaviour (gaining several distinctions in related subjects), starting a lifelong interest, and providing an intellectual background to make sense of his time in Cambridge politics. He joined the Harvard faculty as a research associate in the Department of Organisational Behaviour, which he decided to combine with reading for a Doctorate (a DBA, there being no PhD available at the time). A part of his thesis won the Douglas McGregor Memorial Award (1966) and a prize from the Columbia University Centre for the Study of the Corporation (1967). He published his Doctoral Thesis as ''‘Radical Man’'' in 1969, which sold in paperback with Doubleday, some 70,000 copies in 3 languages. He joined an inter-disciplinary Harvard program on graduation from his Doctorate, focusing on work with a group of Black Community organizers. This work on human rights continued, until the then President of Harvard indicated he was keen to restrain scholars from working on social problems at the sharp end, saying ''“Scholars should not involve themselves in the nation’s slums and ghettoes.”'' Hampden-Turner disagreed, and moved on. 抄文引用元・出典: フリー百科事典『 ウィキペディア（Wikipedia）』 ■ウィキペディアで「Charles Hampden-Turner」の詳細全文を読む スポンサード リンク
