The Analysis And Evaluation Of Supervisory And Managerial Personnel, Robert A. Huston

Masters Theses

Introduction

The rapid growth of American industry during the first half of the Twentieth Century has brought managements face to face with the necessity to delegate responsibility and commensurate authority to the various echelons of the supervisory and managerial personnel. The owner-manager era is a thing of the past. Gone with it is the intimate relationship that once existed between the owner of the business and those who worked for him. In its place has arisen the corporation, a statutory entity that cloaked ownership with impersonality.

Coincidental with the change of character of ownership and, indeed, one of the major …

Plant Capacity Costs, Genevieve D. Armstrong

Master's Theses

Plant facilities represent an investment that leads to continuing cost for taxes, interest, depreciation and maintenance. These costs are, for the most part, fixed. Consequently, the higher the volume of pro­duction attained with given facilities, the lower is the cost per unit of such overhead; conversely, as production falls off there are fewer units over which to spread overhead and unit costs rise. Thus idle capacity may result in "unabsorbed" overhead. Idle capacity may result from managerial inefficiency; therefore, executives should watch the extent to which capacity is utilized. The knowledge of idle capacity may enable corrective steps to be …

Considerable material has been written on the subject in recent years covering not only the income tax advantages involved, but many other equally important business considerations. This material, however, almost without exception, has dealt with the subject from the standpoint of …
