"Meanwhile, the office--always the focal point for business profits--emerges once more as the focal point for business revival. The young men entering business in 1930 (and since) have grown into positions of authority today. The need to meet lower selling prices makes simplification more urgent today than it has ever been.

Every business has its individual problem in office organization, yet there are certain basic factors that underlie the control work, whether it be factory production or the facilitating operations carried on in the office. It is the aim of this modest volume to deal only with these basic factors, and to relate them to the modern business office"--Introduction.
