Sinopsis
Excerpt from An Approach to Business Problems
So with many business proverbs and maxims. One frequently hears, for example, that Goods well bought are half sold. Yet this is misleading unless good buy ing comprehends a knowledge of all the complex con ditions which govern the market. Cheapness alone is not a final test of good buying, for the loss from over stocking in order to secure price concessions may more than counterbalance a price advantage. Applying the proverb in a mere mechanical way, therefore, might bring loss, if not disaster.

Excerpt from An Approach to Business Problems
Before a science of business can take shape, there must first be build up a system of business practice. The methods, plans, and rules of the most efficient organizations must be brought together, tested, and compared, and the most effective must be selected and coordinated. Some of this work has been done. Trade associations, universities, periodicals, and various governmental agencies have been studying the details of production and distribution.
But up to the present, no plan for the guidance of the student in the maze of business practice has been offered. To supply this deficiency, to discover a classification molded on the living activities of business, to supply a uniform method of approach to business problems in whatever form they may arise, and to illustrate the application of this method to typical problems, including those involving the relations of business to - society these are the purposes of this book. I need hardly say that in all this the book makes no claim to finality. If the classification and the uniform method should do no more than suggest improvements upon themselves, the work, I feel, would have been worth while. But I venture to hope also that they will be of some practical value in their present form: that they will make it easier for business men and all thinking men to see each activity of business in its relations to others and to visualize and weigh all the significant factors bearing on any business problem.

Impresión bajo demandaLibrería: Forgotten Books, London, Reino Unido
Calificación del vendedor: 4 de 5 estrellas
Paperback. Condición: New. Print on Demand. This book examines the business world's shift from emphasizing production to distribution. The author, a university lecturer on business policy, was prompted to write this book due to the lack of a foundational system of business practice for students to reference. The work classifies business activities into three divisions: production, distribution, and administration. The book then demonstrates the application of a systematic approach to problems in the first group, then extends the method to the last two. This text's value lies in its identification of useless activities and its exploration of potential new ones, with the intent of increasing profits and supporting a more significant degree of personal and social freedom. This book is a reproduction of an important historical work, digitally reconstructed using state-of-the-art technology to preserve the original format. In rare cases, an imperfection in the original, such as a blemish or missing page, may be replicated in the book. print-on-demand item. Nº de ref. del artículo: 9781330023020_0
