Excerpt from Business Methods and the War
In the early part of the present year I delivered four lectures on "Business Methods and the War" at the London School of Economics and Political Science. These lectures are now reproduced in book form. They must not be regarded as an attempt to deal exhaustively with the subject, but rather in the light of a few suggestions as to how business men might, with great advantage to themselves, take to heart such lessons as the war may have to teach them. After all, war is a business, and business - like life - is one long battle. Accordingly, there should be something for the business man to learn from a study of present conditions. That the British business man has still much to learn, I have endeavoured to suggest as gently as I can: that he is not unteachable is my profound belief, as well as my confident hope.
