This book examines the historical development of the use of graphs as a managerial tool, focusing on the case study of DuPont's use of graphs from 1904 to 1949. The author traces the evolution of graphs from their initial rejection by DuPont in 1904 to their eventual embrace as a crucial tool for monitoring and controlling the newly diversified corporation. The book situates the use of graphs within the broader context of the growth and structural evolution of American businesses in the late 19th and early 20th centuries, as well as the rise of systematic and scientific management. The author explores the various ways in which DuPont used graphs, including as tools of communication, analysis, and monitoring, and highlights the role of the chart room, established around 1920, as a central mechanism for presenting return on investment data to the Executive Committee. The book concludes by discussing the significance of DuPont's use of graphs as a case study of the broader adoption of graphical tools for managerial uses in the early 20th century.
