SUMMARY: Elton Mayo could be referred to as the father of behavioral management. However, when Mayo created this theory it was originally known as human relations (Bruce & Nyland 2011).

Goodbye Yellow Brick Road: Elton John and the Loss of Sexual Autonomy The past three decades have been filled with contrasting types of popular music, which reflect an evolving culture.
