Series pertains mainly to the activities of W.A. Pursell as Director of Corporate Strategy and Director of Strategic Planning between 1983 and 1989.

It contains his chronological files from 1983 to 1988, his correspondence from 1987 to 1989 and copies of Polysar budgets and corporate planning from 1982 to 1989 as well as few other reports. It contains also working papers on Polysar corporate history for a project of the National Center for Management Research and Development (NCMRD) in which W.A. Pursell was participating as a researcher and writer. It contains finally two large photographs (presumably from his office): one taken in the Hon. C.D. How's office prior to R.C. Birkinshaw's appointment as first President of Polymer Corporation in 1942 and an other one showing an aerial view of Polysar Plant in Antwerp, Belgium, in 1972.
