Synopsis

Excerpt from Graphs as a Managerial Tool

Today graphs are an accepted feature of the managerial world. They appear in reports, memos, presentations to colleagues or clients, annual reports, sales brochures, and the pages of business magazines and newspapers. They are even part of the popular image of business; the executives pictured in cartoons frequently sit in front of large wall charts of sales or profits. Moreover, microcomputers with graphics software promise to make graphs even more common by making graphs in minutes that an art room would have taken hours to produce. As powerful tools for communicating, analyzing, and monitoring the massive amounts of data managers deal with daily, graphs are here to stay. Although we take them for granted now, graphs and charts appeared on the managerial scene relatively recently. They have served as managerial tools only since the very end of the nineteenth century and the beginning of the twentieth. As businesses grew and evolved structurally during those years, the managers who came to manage the enterprises needed better ways of handling larger quantities of data. At the same time, the capabilities of graphics were just beginning to be understood beyond circles of statisticians. In combination, these two factors led businesses to adopt graphical tools for managerial uses.

A propos du livre

Présentation de l'éditeur

This book was originally published prior to 1923, and represents a reproduction of an important historical work, maintaining the same format as the original work. While some publishers have opted to apply OCR (optical character recognition) technology to the process, we believe this leads to sub-optimal results (frequent typographical errors, strange characters and confusing formatting) and does not adequately preserve the historical character of the original artifact. We believe this work is culturally important in its original archival form. While we strive to adequately clean and digitally enhance the original work, there are occasionally instances where imperfections such as blurred or missing pages, poor pictures or errant marks may have been introduced due to either the quality of the original work or the scanning process itself. Despite these occasional imperfections, we have brought it back into print as part of our ongoing global book preservation commitment, providing customers with access to the best possible historical reprints. We appreciate your understanding of these occasional imperfections, and sincerely hope you enjoy seeing the book in a format as close as possible to that intended by the original publisher.
