Synopsis

Graphs as a managerial tool: a case study of Du Pont's use of graphs, 1904–1949 reveals how visuals shaped leadership decisions.

This nonfiction work traces how Du Pont moved from paper reports to a bold chart-based system. It shows how a wall of large, 350 charts in a dedicated chart room helped executives see the health of the company at a glance. The study explains how the ROI formula aligned data presentation with management needs, enabling clear monitoring and analysis across divisions. It also explores how the charts were used for presentation, not persuasion, helping protect data from bias while still guiding action.

- Learn how graphs functioned as both a data compilation tool and an analytic framework.
- See how the chart room supported group decision making for a complex, multidivisional firm.
- Understand the shift from detailed reporting in 1904 to summarized, visual governance in later years.
- Discover why the charts endured for decades and how their rules shaped data integrity and usefulness.

Ideal for readers curious about the history of management accounting, data visualization in business, and how large corporations used visuals to guide strategy.

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.
