Abstract

This paper examines the characteristics of residential zones in Madrid, Spain. The primary difference between zones is found to lie in a new bourgeoisie life-style dimension. Working women are found to be the best indicator of this dimension, which also involves servants, natives of Madrid and high degrees of literacy. Fertility-related considerations, however, are unrelated to working women, and this is explained as due to the availability of domestic help and "women-oriented" working arrangements. Fertility and socioeconomic status are found to be interrelated and constitute a second dimension of residential segregation. In conclusion, Madrid is examined in relation to both more and less industrialized cities, leading to a further modification of social area theory contentions concerning the ecology of stratification in developing cities.

Abstract

This article presents information on the first annual conference of the European Foundation for Management Development that will be held from June 4-8, 1972 at Escuela Superior de Administracion Direccion de Empresas, Barcelona. The topic to be discussed is management development under the conflict between technological and social innovations. An answer will be sought to three groups of questions that how are the management educational institutes preparing for this purpose, what is the foundation's role in this picture and what is the desired future and do the developments contribute to obtaining a balance between the two conflicting forces. Secretariat and Escuela Superior de Administracion Direccion de Empresas, assisted by the other Spanish member institutes are in the process of inviting speakers and papers to support the dialogue which, rather than formal addresses, will be the emphasis of programme organisation. For further information one can contact secretariat of the foundation.
