Taschenbuch. Condición: Neu. Neuware - We've built machines to become more efficient in business, but humans remain human -- and inefficient. But must that always be the case According to renowned business psychologist Walter Dill Scott, managers can help workers find their 'second wind,' the point at which they move past their previous limits and achieve top performance. Applying psychology to business, Scott wrote, 'when a man is doing what he believes to be his best, he is still able to do better; when he is completely exhausted, he is, under proper stimulus, able to continue.' In Increasing Human Efficiency in Business, Scott explores how to create motivation for success. He looks at factors such as imitation, competition, loyalty, concentration, wages, pleasure, 'the love of the game,' relaxation, and habit formation. He hopes to find each worker's latent powers and hidden stores of energy to discover 'wider horizons of honorable and profitable activity.'WALTER DILL SCOTT applied psychology to the fields of advertising, vocational aptitude, and business. He created a rating scale that would predict a job applicant's success in a given position; this scale was modified for the military during World War I with great success. For this contribution, Scott earned a Distinguished Service Medal at the end of the war. He retired as President Emeritus from Northwestern University, which he led from 1920 -1939.

Taschenbuch. Condición: Neu. Neuware - This candid essay by one of the nation's leading businessmen originally appeared in American Magazine in November 1916. In it, Charles Schwab, one-time president of Carnegie Steel, U.S. Steel, and Bethlehem Steel, offered his secrets for success. Surprisingly, he didn't believe that genius was required -- he believed in hard work. 'For thirty-six years I have been moving among workingmen in what is now the biggest branch of American industry, the steel business,' Schwab wrote. 'In that time it has been my good fortune to watch most of the present leaders rise from the ranks, ascend step by step to places of power. These men, I am convinced, are not natural prodigies. They won out by using normal brains to think beyond their manifest daily duty.' Thanks to his appreciation of devoted workers, Schwab placed the ability to succeed in any employee's hands. More of Schwab's surprising insights are contained in this fascinating look at the path to success, written by one who traveled it.CHARLES M. SCHWAB (1862-1939) joined Carnegie Steel in 1879 and became president when he was 35, working closely with Andrew Carnegie. He sold the company to J.P. Morgan, and became president of Morgan's new corporation, U.S. Steel. Schwab later ran Bethlehem Steel, a company known for its efficiency and competitiveness. During World War I, Schwab became Director-General of the Emergency Fleet Corporation for the U.S. government.

Taschenbuch. Condición: Neu. Neuware - Trying to call every market turn Tempted to act on impulse rather than fact when investing your money A major mistake made by most investors and traders today is to try to call every market turn - a tactic that has very little chance of success.

The Facts About Speculation is a series of warnings about the dangers of speculation by the unprepared investor. Long considered an investment classic, Thomas Gibson demonstrates superior skill in analyzing, examining and offering the most important influences on stock prices. Concentrating on human errors in speculation, he maintains that excesses of emotion are principally responsible for a majority of speculative investment decisions.THOMAS GIBSON was a prolific writer on investment and speculation, having authored several books to his credit. His skill lay in analyzing, examining, and giving his readers, in an accessible form, all the principal factors in connection with speculation and stock prices.

Taschenbuch. Condición: Neu. Neuware - According to Franklyn Hobbs, the secret of wealth is no secret and it isn't new. As he points out, 'for more than 2,000 years, it has been understood that the person who was poor and let it be known, and made little or no effort to rise above poverty, was largely responsible for his own unhappy condition.'In this book, Hobbs explains exactly how to take responsibility for one's own financial well-being. 'Wealth is a state of mind or perhaps 'twould be better to say that wealth is created through a state of mind. The acquiring of money and property, once begun, is a simple and easy process; growing rich comes through habits that are such fixed parts of one's daily life that, once on the road to wealth, it would be quite difficult, if not wholly impossible, to stop the growth.'.

This is the world of the Irish fairy tale, a magical realm kept alive by generations of storytellers and their avid listeners. As Alfred Perceval Graves, author of the ballad 'Father O'Flynn' and a former president of the Irish Literary Society, wrote in the introduction, 'The truth is that the Gaelic peasant, Scotch and Irish, is a mystic, and believes not only in this world, and the world to come, but in that other world which is the world of Faery, and which exercises an extraordinary influence upon many actions of his life.'In The Irish Fairy Book, Graves has collected Ireland's best-loved fairy tales written by some of its favorite authors. Included are W.B. Yeats' 'The Stolen Child,' Lady Gregory's 'Cuchulain of Muirthemne,' Standish James O'Grady's 'The Coming of Finn,' Lady Wilde's 'The Horned Women' and 'The Demon Cat,' and many more. Illustrations by George Dunham add a delightful touch to this charming collection.
