Publisher's Synopsis
Excerpt from Executive Statistical Control, Vol. 2
In preparing the following pages, in which I have en deavored to detail the facts the industrial executive should have always before him and to explain why he requires such facts to conduct effectively the business for which he has assumed the responsibility, I have drawn very freely upon knowledge secured as a manual laborer, as an executive, and as an engineer for a period covering some fifteen years. Under the circumstances it is manifestly impossible to enu merate the sources of my information and to give credit where it is due. However, I feel especially indebted to the late Frederick W. Taylor, both for his books and for his personal assistance, given me freely at a time when he could ill afiord it; to H. L. Gantt whose eminently practical view-point led me to realize that the material return to both capital and labor from scientific management could be successfully set forth without inj ury to the ideals of the best of either; to Harrington Emerson as a continual source of inspiration dur ing my association with the Emerson Company, and to D. M. Hyman and certain of his associates from whom I gained an intimste knowledge of and respect for the methods which render the large corporation executive successful.
