The article presents information on the International University Contact for Management Education/European Association for Management Trainning Centers Joint Research Colloquium, held during September 4-6, 1968, at Ashridge. Thirty five research workers, faculty members and representatives of industry attended the Research Colloquium on, "Organisation Structure in a Changing Environment." Research papers, examined a selection of the theoretical and practical problems encountered in studying the organisational structure of complex organisation in changing environments. The papers dealt with a wide selection of topics, experiences being drawn from an equally wide variety of organisational systems. One researcher of the Tavistock Institute of Human Relations, London, in his paper "On the Systems approach to Organisation," focused his attention on the passenger-handling operations of an airline company and more especially on the effect of passenger anxiety upon the airline staff. A comprehensive review and summing up of the research proceedings was given by researcher D. Pheysey, Industrial Research Unit, University of Aston in Birmingham.
