Excerpt from Practical Psychology for Business Executives This collection of material has been made with the purpose of bringing together in readable form some of the important and useful writings on the application of psychology to industry. The last decade has seen the growth of a body of psychological ideas of great importance in economic life. Many authorities have contributed the benefits of their experiments and discoveries to a wide and scattered literature in the field, and it is hoped that this symposium may aid in making business men acquainted with the more practical parts of this literature. A bibliography has been prepared, its divisions corresponding with the chapters of the book. For the most part, the publi cations which have been the sources of the quoted extracts used in this volume, have not been relisted in the bibliography.
