Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Excerpt from Railway Management at Stations Both for economy and training purposes nothing surpasses the introduction of a reasonable number of well-educated youths of about fifteen years of age, but certainly not over sixteen years. Too many, however, of these at a station weaken the character of the staff, while too few or none at all has the same effect, because there is then no introduction of new young blood. As the child is trained in the nursery and thence becomes a boy in a public school, so a youth is trained in the rudiments of a railway office, and growing to man's estate becomes an experienced railway clerk. One most important principle of staff organisation is to avoid vesting the chief efficiency of the work upon a few of what may be termed pivot men, who, if suddenly withdrawn, will cause confusion and serious disturbance of the work. This can be cheaply and certainly met by a discreet intermixture of youths among the staff. A youth after three years working, from fifteen to eighteen years of age, is often quicker and able for more routine work than a man of twenty-five years of age. Thus, as a general principle of working, an agent should strive to work up a second hand able in an emergency to fill any particular post. In no other way can permanence and progressive efficiency be attained. The grasp of mind necessary for railway organisation is rarely found in the every-day young man. It requires a combination of mental qualities peculiarly blended and allied with a practical detail knowledge of the business. There is a certain preciseness necessary in the organiser who is constantly obstructed by the daily emergencies that arise in the working of the traffic. A station agent employed in arranging the receipt and despatch of goods necessarily has his mind more or less full of expedients indispensable to carrying on such duties. Expedients and a proficiency in applying them readily to all circumstances that arise, render the mind somewhat callous to the advantages of methodical plans. As a comparison it calls to mind the man who trusts to his memory with the man who systematically makes memoranda. The man of expedients is a man of tact, and the bias of his mind is rather to trust to this qualification than to the building up of organisation. The man of expedients is usually busy and in a bustle because he has always something special to arrange, while the organiser having brought everything within the scope of his system quietly watches the progress of his arrangements, fits in improvements wherever he sees an opportunity, and provides for such matters that daily occur as may require incorporating into the general system. For examples illustrating these two characteristics take the American and the Frenchman. The American is all expedients - he rushes at his work with an impetuosity and determination to accomplish his aim. To use his own expression he piles into it, and generally succeeds when the work can be accomplished by forcible spasmodic efforts. His quick adaptation of the means to the difficulties and the leverage he puts on, often carry him through successfully.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Excerpt from Railway Practice: Its Principles and Suggested Reforms Reviewed The literature of that very considerable and important problem first called by Mr. Adams the Railway Problem, has recently been enlarged if not enriched by two proposed solutions. The one is offered by Mr. T. F. Hudson, in his volume called The Railways and the Republic. The other by Prof. R. T. Ely, in Harper's Magazine for July, August, and September. A third proposed solution has long been before the public in the Reagan bill, which has twice passed the House but has failed in the Senate. As the three solutions disagree radically in principle, and are at odds with the methods of reform which the railroad managers themselves are endeavoring to put into operation, it is clear that some confusion exists in the premises from which the different parties start. I propose to examine these premises briefly, and see if any such confusion cannot be removed. Surely after fifty years of experiment, and a develop ment covering all civilized countries, there must be to-day a few principles, settled by actual test, and put beyond question or dispute, making what we might call the present state of the science of railway management. If there are such, on which we can firmly ground ourselves. About the Publisher Forgotten Books publishes hundreds of thousands of rare and classic books.

Download or read book Retail Store Management Problems Classic Reprint written by Donald Kirk David and published by Forgotten Books. This book was released on 2017-10-28 with total page 1122 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Excerpt from Retail Store Management Problems Since, in preparing men for executive positions in business, it is necessary to train them to think as an executive must think, the problems are presented as they came to the executives of stores. They are actual executive problems as we have been able to find them, with a few facts changed to cover up the identity of the particular store. Incidentally they are problems which the retailers are most interested in solving. From the experience of the members of the staff of the Harvard Graduate School of Business Administration, the advantages of the case method of teaching are unquestionable. The course in Retail Store Management has been developed from a lecture system to a discussion basis and from there to a straight case system. The necessary detailed background and the general principles of retailing are more thoroughly covered by present ing them in the body of the cases than by the lecture or text-book method. Class interest is more easily maintained when the members of the class visualize the problem as their problem and have the opportunity of discussing what should be done under particular circumstances, rather than when the instructor alone expresses his views. There is usually more than one way to solve a business problem and a proper discussion should determine a satisfactory conclusion.

Download or read book Retail Store Management Classic Reprint written by Paul H. Nystrom and published by . This book was released on 2015-09-27 with total page 258 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Excerpt from Retail Store Management According to the census of 1910, there were in the United States 1,195,029 retail dealers. In addition to this great number of people engaged in conducting stores of one kind or another, there were enumerated 921,130 salespeople and 387,183 clerks in stores. But to get an idea of the total number of people employed in the retail business in this country there should be added to the above the number of deliverymen, laborers, stockroom workers, porters, janitors, cleaners, engineers, carpenters, display men, advertising men, floor managers, bookkeepers, and so on. It is safe to say that there are now more than 3,000,000 people employed in the retail trade. Not an insignificant number! In a comparison of the retail group with other industrial groups of workers, it will be found that farmers and farm laborers are the only classes that exceed retailers and retail employees. No single line of manufacture approaches this total. The number of people employed in the transportation of goods also falls short of this number. Yet those facts seem hardly to have been realized by anyone. About the Publisher Forgotten Books publishes hundreds of thousands of rare and classic books.

Book excerpt: How do you tailor education to the learning needs of adults? Do they learn differently from children? How does their life experience inform their learning processes? These were the questions at the heart of Malcolm Knowles’ pioneering theory of andragogy which transformed education theory in the 1970s. The resulting principles of a self-directed, experiential, problem-centred approach to learning have been hugely influential and are still the basis of the learning practices we use today. Understanding these principles is the cornerstone of increasing motivation and enabling adult learners to achieve. The 9th edition of The Adult Learner has been revised to include: Updates to the book to reflect the very latest advancements in the field. The addition of two new chapters on diversity and inclusion in adult learning, and andragogy and the online adult learner. An updated supporting website. This website for the 9th edition of The Adult Learner will provide basic instructor aids including a PowerPoint presentation for each chapter. Revisions throughout to make it more readable and relevant to your practices. If you are a researcher, practitioner, or student in education, an adult learning practitioner, training manager, or involved in human resource development, this is the definitive book in adult learning you should not be without.
