This week, as we continue to look into managing interpersonal, social and organizational process, let us consider the GI Bill, especially the first (initial) GI Bill:

The historical background of the GI Bill; how did GI Bill affect the culture of work/success in the USA? Did the GI Bill change the way we do business and politics (i.e. did it change our understanding of business and organizational culture) in the USA? Was the GI Bill an Affirmation Action Bill? Affirmative Action for who who benefited from the GI bill and why? Compare the GI Bill with present day Affirmation Action. Did the GI Bill work? If the GI Bill worked, why is todays Affirmative Action under attack? What can we do to make Affirmative Action work?

After considering these questions, focus on some aspects of the issues raised to further explain interpersonal, social and organizational processes within which OB management occurs.
