  • The History of Progress Functions as a Managerial Technology

  • John M. Dutton, Annie Thomas, John E. Butler
  • Journal:
    Business History Review / Volume 58 / Issue 2 / Summer 1984
    Published online by Cambridge University Press:
    11 June 2012, pp. 204-233
    Print publication:
    Summer 1984

  • In this article, Professors Dutton, Thomas, and Butler trace the sixty-year history of a major managerial technology—the progress function—from its discovery in post-World War I airplane manufacture to its post-World War II popularity among management consultants. By statistically analyzing the large number of progress function studies, they demonstrate that its investigation has become balkanized by academic discipline, and that applied researchers have frequently ignored the contingencies stressed in the leading theoretical studies. Their article is thus a revealing example of how social scientific concepts get translated into business practice.

  • A Curious Capital Flow: Canadian Investment in Mexico, 1902–1910

  • Christopher Armstrong, H.V. Nelles
  • Journal:
    Business History Review / Volume 58 / Issue 2 / Summer 1984
    Published online by Cambridge University Press:
    11 June 2012, pp. 178-203
    Print publication:
    Summer 1984

  • Though Canada was, in the opening decades of the twentieth century, a net capital importer, Canadian-based companies dominated the Mexican public utilities industry. In this article, Professors Armstrong and Nelles explain how this “curious capital flow” came about. Their explanation stresses the personal ties linking Canadian businessmen to the maverick American engineer-entrepreneur F.S. Pearson. In addition to detailing these ties, they describe the methods used to finance the promotions, speculate about the insiders' rates of return, and estimate the origins and magnitude of the capital involved.

  • Management's Crisis of Confidence and the Origin of the National Industrial Conference Board, 1914–1916

  • H.M. Gitelman
  • Journal:
    Business History Review / Volume 58 / Issue 2 / Summer 1984
    Published online by Cambridge University Press:
    11 June 2012, pp. 153-177
    Print publication:
    Summer 1984

  • In this essay, Professor Gitelman draws upon new primary source materials to help clarify the outlook of American business leaders in the years immediately preceding U.S. entry into World War I. He shows how business leaders brooded, at periodic private conferences, over the profound loss in public esteem they believed business had suffered. This “crisis of confidence,” he concludes, precipitated defensive associational efforts. The creation of conference boards—the brainchild of Magnus W. Alexander—provided an institutional base for these efforts, and pointed the way to the creation of the National Industrial Conference Board.
