Management Corporation
(MEMC) was founded in 1971 by its current
CEO and President, Harold S. Hook. The mission of MEMC is to provide
management training and organization development services to help organizations
become more effective and thus more productive. MEMC is headquartered

Mr.
Hook is a recognized management scholar and innovator. He is the creator
of Model-Netics--the language of management and the Main Event Management
Systems. He is also the recipient of numerous honors and awards, including
induction into the Texas Business Hall of Fame. Mr. Hook has served
on numerous Fortune 500 Boards. He is currently on the Board of Baylor
College of Medicine and serves as a Director Emeritus of the Greater
Houston Partnership.

organizational performance and productivity. The programs have been
installed in a broad cross-section of organizations throughout the U.S.,
