Evaluating the Methods of the Business Administrator

Thomas R. Navin

Business History Review, 1943, vol. 17, issue 1, 11-14

Abstract: Imagine for a moment that the present war should prove to be the Armageddon of our civilization. What would the Utopian Historical Society, meeting a thousand years hence, consider the chief contributions of our era, which has lasted now for nearly three milleniums? The Greeks, it would probably be decided, arrived at a perfection in sculpturing never before equaled, nor since surpassed. The Italians were consummate painters, German composers were greater than those of any other nation. The English were able to boast two, perhaps three or four, of the greatest poets the world had ever known. Americans developed the art of business administration to such a degree that it was viewed with wonder by the rest of the world.
