More Work Per Man Tested and Selected Methods of Compiled from Industrial Management, the Engineering Magazine Edited by John H. Van Deventer, M. E. Editor of Industrial Management Member of American Society of Mechanical Engineers "Handbook of Machine Shop Management," Etc. DOUBLEDAY, PAGE & COMPANY New York The Engineering Magazine Company 1921 U FOREWORD NLESS one has been an assiduous follower and close student of Industrial Management, it is difficult to realize the wealth of practical information that appears in each issue of this journal, and that built, gradually and steadily, a most impressive accumulative total. This realization is made more difficult by the physical impossibility in any periodical of combining a symposium of related subjects in any one issue, and at the same time preserving a balance of topics. Some managers and executives attempt to solve this problem by means of a clipping index. There are a great many, however, who do not, either because of lack of time, inclination, or because the idea has not suggested itself to them. This book has been produced so that all may readily participate in the benefits of such a classified selection of topics relating to the management of industrial personnel. It represents not merely the methods or opinions of an individual author, but the tested methods of a large number of successful executives whose experience, as presented, is of permanent value and yet whose published accounts have not been extensive enough to permit of individual republication in book form. "More Work Per Man," then, brings to the reader, in classified form, material which would otherwise cause him a large amount of labor to secure. Its value lies in its many-sided points of view which represent, so to speak, round-table discussions of the principal problems encountered by the man who handles men. 49395C Causes and Elements of Turnover Standardizing the Factors of Turnover.
