Pr�sentation de l'�diteur

Bell System for a long time that as it conducted a public business it should tell the public about its conduct. It has endeavored to do this by official reports, public statements, pamphlets, advertisements, movies, by opening the central offices to public inspection, and in many other ways. This book is an addition to what has been done before. There is little in it which is not available in some form or other elsewhere, but bringing it together may be a convenience to those who are interested. As the time which the author owes the American Telephone and Telegraph Company is not limited, the book is written on company time, and such royalties as may come from its sale will go to the Company. The figures in the book have been checked by the various departments of the Company having knowledge of them. The book represents in general the Bell System spolicies and practices. But it is not official in the sense that it has been approved by the heads of all departments of the Company or the Board of Directors. A nd, of course, the opinions in it are the author s. I do not think that they are far different from those of my associates, but I am sure that no two of us would either think exactly alike or express our opinions in the same way. The book is not an attempt to be an exhaustive study of the Bell System, but is primarily an effort to give anyone interested some insight into its philosophy and practices and something of its problems and achievements.

Paperback. Etat : New. Print on Demand. This book offers a unique and insightful look at the Bell System, a powerful and influential entity in American life during the first half of the 20th century. The author, a senior figure within the Bell System, provides a detailed account of the company's policies, practices, and achievements from 1915 to 1940. He examines the company's commitment to providing the "best possible telephone service at the lowest cost consistent with financial safety," a principle that guided its development and shaped its relationship with the public. The book goes beyond mere technical details, exploring the complex interplay between corporate strategy, public perception, and the human element in the telephone industry. The author's emphasis on the importance of good service, personalized service, and employee understanding gives readers a glimpse into the internal workings of this vast organization. This book provides a compelling portrait of a company that, through its unique blend of technological innovation, social responsibility, and a clear vision of its role in society, became a vital component of American life.
