Management is the development of people and not the direction of things ... Management is personnel administration. - Lawrence A. Appley

This book is an analysis of the development and change of the organization structure of the individual company. It is an attempt to combine the systematic thinking on this subject with the "rule of thumb" of practical experience. It essays an integration of the formal structure of the enterprise with the human forces that mold and are molded by it. Thus it is designed to aid the practical man of affairs as well as the student of organization.

Management is the accomplishment of results through the efforts of other people.

[the professional manager is] an individual who, because of his training, experience, and competence, is employed to develop and expand the assets and realizations of owners.
