Historical Note: Roderick Howard Carnegie was born on 27 November 1932, son of Douglas H. and Margaret Carnegie, AO. He married Carmen Clarke on 14 August 1959 and they had three sons. His family owned small musical and electrical businesses. The family also owned a cattle farm at Kildrummie, near Holbrook (NSW), which he took a hand at running for two summers during his undergraduate years. He was educated at Geelong Grammar School (Victoria), then completed a Bachelor of Science at the University of Melbourne (1951-53) while resident at Trinity College. He was awarded scholarships during his undergraduate studies, was active in rowing at the University and was secretary of the Boat Club and the Science Club. He completed Australian National Service, rising to the rank of Lieutenant in the Citizen Military Forces in 1952.

Carnegie then studied at New College, Oxford University (1954-57), where he completed a Bachelor of Arts Honours degree in philosophy, politics and economics. He also completed a Diploma of Agricultural Economics. He was active in rowing as a member of the Oxford University Crew and President of the Boat Club (1956-57) and undertook travels in Europe during his holidays.

After Oxford, Carnegie moved to Boston, USA to study for a Masters Degree in Business Administration at the Harvard Graduate School of Business Administration (1957-59). He came top in his class, as the Baker Scholar in first year, then was awarded the Henry Fellowship and the Thayer Scholarship in later years. During his summer vacation in 1958 he worked with McKinsey & Co and continued this part-time during his studies. He interviewed US Executives as part of a study on problems in the management of international operations. He continued with McKinsey & Co in various capacities (1959-70) and moved from being an associate to becoming a director, working in New York and setting up the Australian office in Melbourne.

In 1970 he was appointed a Director of London-based Rio Tinto-Zinc Corporation Limited’s Australian subsidiary Conzinc Riotinto Australia Ltd. He progressed quickly to Joint Managing Director in 1971, Managing Director and Chief Executive in 1972, Chairman and Managing Director in 1974 and Chairman and Chief Executive from 1983-86. He retired from the company in 1986.

Carnegie involved himself with every aspect of CRA, from operational issues in the subsidiaries, through technology, new ventures, prospecting, international marketing and financial relations, planning, industrial relations, staffing and his massive organisational development programme which sought to apply the new thinking he had learnt at Harvard and McKinsey & Co to the CRA empire. He also made himself available to other member companies in the RTZ family and to RTZ London on lead, zinc and a range of other issues. He busied himself with various philanthropic, educational, political and other non-business interests mostly in Australia, but also abroad.

Under Carnegie’s ambitious global philosophy, CRA sought to diversify. It was to expand from the businesses CRA inherited in the 1962 merger between the UK parent companies, the Rio Tinto Company Ltd. (holding a controlling share of Mary Kathleen Uranium Ltd and the Hamersley Ranges iron ore prospect) and The Consolidated Zinc Corporation Ltd. (Broken Hill lead-zinc and silver, Weipa bauxite, aluminium smelting, the exhausted Rum Jungle uranium deposit) and

Carnegie had CRA move furthur into downstream processing of its minerals. He pushed for the continued expansion of Australian Mining and Smelting Company Ltd (formed by the merger of CRA lead-sinc/silver interests with North Broken Hill Consolidated) operations in

5/34 Relationship of CRA and RTZ with subsidiaries

15 February 1971 - 14 September 1972


115




5/34/1 Letter from RHC to Sir Val Duncan regarding evolution of new relationship between CRA and RTZ, in particular ways for CRA to use RTZ Services while retaining independent operational responsibility, 14/9/72

5/34/2 ‘Relationship between RTZ and CRA’, paper by RHC in which he acknowledges RTZ should retain absolute control over CRA, 15/2/71

5/35 Roles and responsibilities within the CRA Group

Offers new definition of the corporation, its goals and organisation based on basic principles of managerial responsibility and autonomy. Argues for systems based hierarchy where each manger is defined as having responsibility of those decisions which are made at his level, while many will result from outcomes of similarly autonomous managers operating below him. States that RTZ interest in CRA will drop to 50-55% but based on no loss of return and profitability (i.e. smaller share of bigger cake). This is taken as the basic cause of CRA imperative to have growth burst. The argument is that this growth burst requires peak managerial performance, which will come about through the management-based restructure that RHC is outlining in this paper.

Draft paper.

5/36/1 Securing RTZ assets in Australia, 14/6/74

Discussion paper assessing political demand for Australianisation of CRA and economic pressures on profitability of RTZ’s Australian holdings: stronger Federal government and intervention in corporate activities, environmentalism, CRA exclusion from new projects because of foreign equity, low profit processing commitments enforced, overseas borrowing restrictions, compulsory release of equity on unprofitable terms to AIDC, discretionary charges on foreign controlled exporters. Paper then assesses growth, profitability and managerial goals for RTZ in relation to current structural problems in Australia: low earnings, management ineffectiveness, adverse Public Relations, bad price/earnings ratio for CRA despite financial backing for earnings centres (i.e. subsidiaries). Paper considers two options, liquidation of CRA (renders RTZ minority shareholder of operational subsidiaries) or consolidation of group operations within CRA as profit centre. Includes buyback of Kaiser Aluminum And Chemical Corporation equity in Comalco and Hamersley. The consolidation option is recommended and outlined in some detail.

Series 9 Organisational Development.

A diverse range of documents are held in this series. At the conceptual core are organisational models and plans by RHC, Professor Elliott Jaques (Brunel University, UK) and the McKinsey & Co teams. These range from concrete proposals and research on salary scales and other quanifiable organisational matters, to largely philsophical writings. Important groups of personal notes by RHC are found in this series, which indicate his thinking acrpss a quite broad field of social and psychological questions.

Flowing from these core documents are the papers and notes covering the actual programme of organisational development which RHC drove while at the helm of CRA. This includes detailed management research undertaken in CRA businesses such as Woodlawn and Sulphide Corporation and conference documents for the many Executive meetings convened to discuss these issues generally, such as ‘Organising for the Next Decade’ . The last tier of documents relate to the actual implimentation of changes in CRA, for example with the ‘Managing Director’s Option Book’.
