Produktbeschreibung
Excerpt from Scribner´s Magazine, 1887, Vol. 21 The article which follows is the first of a series on "The Conduct of Great Businesses," suggested by the fact that the vital points of American business life have been but little touched upon, in spite of the countless papers devoted to the industrial side of the subject. The purpose of the present series is not to deal with statistics or processes of production, but with the part that men´s brains play in large business enterprises - the organizing, the originating, and the developing. Americans have a reputation for skill in business, not, it is hoped, as traders merely or money getters, but for large success upon broad and even generous lines. In this country there are few hampering traditions and prejudices to limit ambition. The real effort is to place each man at the highest pitch of his capacity. The problems in business are much the same in all branches; one man learns from, adapts, and improves upon another; and an intelligent account of how some great businesses are carried to their utmost success should be suggestive and interesting. While it need hardly be said that no single establishments or enterprises will be described in this series, the authors have made long and careful study of the most perfect organizations in each branch, and have gone in all cases to the highest authorities for their information. The present article will be followed in succeeding numbers by others upon the management of a great hotel, that of a typical great manufactory, and the conduct of a bank; and later by still further papers. The illustrations, made in every case from actual scenes, while they will have the highest artistic value, having been confided to artists who have devoted months of study to their subjects, will have besides all the accuracy of photographs. This has made necessary the picturing also of actual localities, which have been of course so chosen as to be typical of the whole subject.
