My query is not with Jacques work which draws correlations between an
individual's temporal scales, logic, cognition and the structure of an
organisation. My query is the assumption that issues at levels in
organisation correspond with specific time frames.
I am comfortable with the view that an individual with a time horizon of
upto 3 months is likely to be comfortable working on the shop floor. But
I would query that shop floor issues have time horizons of upto 3 months.
That is what I was trying to say.
