It is now 35 years since the death of Professor Joan Woodward, one
of the founding figures of organization studies. Professor Woodward
died in 1971 at the age of 54 after a relatively brief but highly
distinguished career as a management researcher and teacher, and
just six years after the publication of her landmark book
"Industrial Organization". At the time of her death, Professor
Woodward was the Chair in Industrial Sociology at Imperial College
London, having been elected as only the second women professor at
the College in 1970. She joined the Production Engineering and
Management Section of Imperial in 1958 and the majority of her most
important work was published during this period. Prior to this she
had spent a number of years at the South East Essex College of
Technology where she conducted much of the empirical work that
informed her significant contributions to the field.
