Summary |
The book does not undertake to present all the latest data about the art of large-scale administration, on every up-to-date technique of management, or the last word on the science of organization. The aim is rather to help the reader, whether he be a specialized student or an interested citizen, to realize that administration has long been practiced as an art, science, and vocation; to help him understand the important role of administrative machinery in social, economic, and political role of administrative machinery in social, economic, and political affairs; to develop an appreciation of sound and tested administrative methods, managerial techniques, and organizational devices; to aid in recognizing unsound administrative practices; and finally, to help some readers discover whether they themselves are interested in pursuing an administrative or executive career.
