Excerpt from Business Organization and Administration This book is written in the belief that there exists a need for a text which may form the basis Of a short course in the fundamentals of business administration and management and which will bring before the student. Those bigger business problems upon the proper solution Of which success in business largely depends. In some schools such a course may supplement the work in book-keeping and Office practice, while in others it may form an introduction to the more specialized and advanced courses in the field. Even a bare statement Of the most essential facts Of business practice is an ambitious under taking. Much had to be omitted which might have been included. In fact, the most difficult task in the preparation Of this volume was the elimination Of material. It is hoped that in this process Of trimming, nothing has been pruned away which is absolutely necessary to give the student a picture Of the most common business situations.
