The Economic Theories And Policies Of The American Federation Of Labor, Arthur Margoles

Bachelors’ Theses

The writer has felt that his problem as concerned with the search for the actual attitude of the Federation, not a determination of its limitations or criticism of its policies, and with this viewpoint in mind he has centered most of his investigation upon partisan sources and actual Federation propaganda.

Education And Progress In The Profession Of Accountancy, Samuel Letwin Jun 1926

Education And Progress In The Profession Of Accountancy, Samuel Letwin

Bachelors’ Theses

The growth of business as a profession has been largely a growth of American industry.

Business therefore merits the dignity and respect accorded the recognized professions. Business is not a new farce in the world, it is only its present prominence that is without precedent. Modern business governed by economic forces and social obligations is the force on …

Selection And Placement Of Workers, Harold Rohde

Bachelors’ Theses

Employing desirable help is one of the most important functions of an establishment, yet in many concerns very little attention is given to the matter. It is often done in a haphazard manner; employees are selected hurriedly and are not suited for the positions, while others are turned away who would have become valuable assets to the concern. Quite frequently the employment is done by various members of the firm, or by heads of departments who have given no thought to the employment problem and the employees include every possible type.

Advertising - A Necessity Of All Sales, Viola Lois Risch Jun 1926

Advertising - A Necessity Of All Sales, Viola Lois Risch

Bachelors’ Theses

The rapid progress in advertising during the last century has caused many people to accuse this brand of marketing of being new and experimental, and to overlook the part it played in the earlier growth of business. Advertising and the selling of goods have been associated with one another for more than two centuries. With the advent of machinery and the improvement of labor conditions the sudden and voluminous increase in production required a corresponding increase in markets, and so the selling problem--the problem of getting rid of the manufactured goods arose.

The Organization And Management Of The General Office, Erwin J. Stumpf Jun 1926

The Organization And Management Of The General Office, Erwin J. Stumpf

Bachelors’ Theses

The general office is probably the most important of all the elements of a modern business organization. All the policies of the business, whether it be large or small, must be determined by an intelligent examination of the records and accounts which are compiled and kept by the office. The records of the office will disclose complete accountability for the success or failure of the business. The real value of the office seems to have been slighted in the past.

Standards Of Marketing Efficiency, Walter G. Schallitz

Bachelors’ Theses

In all business, profits depend ultimately upon the ability to sell goods and service advantageously. A factory may possess every facility for maximum production at minimum cost, but unless the selling methods are carefully designed to meet the peculiar requirements of the product and of the market, the business cannot be conducted at a profit. The professional man and the business house dealing chiefly in service instead of goods likewise find the basis of profit largely in the ability to get in touch with those who need what they have to offer and in satisfying that need in the most …

The Economic And Financial Plight Of Germany From 1914 To 1926, Agnes M. Halbach

Bachelors’ Theses

Few of us realize the awful economic and financial plight under which Germany has existed during the last twelve years.

Capitalism Vs. Socialism, J. Wright Ihlenfeld

Bachelors’ Theses

There are two forces in society today -- conservatism which tends towards stagnation and the progressive movement, which is forever adapting society to new conditions, producing new organs when new functions have to be performed, substituting new vitalities for spent ones and keeping pace with the dynamic changes of our economic life. The latter is revolutionary in the sense that it sees in the life of society both the capacity for, and the promise of, fundamental change, but anti-revolutionary in the sense that it strives to bring about these changes by a never-ending organic adaptation.
