Economy of Intellection Separating Science from Engineering

Of the new forms of transportation the railroads were the most numerous, their activities the most complex, and their influence the most pervasive. They were the pioneers in the management of modern business enterprise. [Pg.19]

Because of their historical importance, Chandler is careful to identify these pioneers of modem business (p. 87) [Pg.19]

The men who managed these enterprises became the first group of modern business administrators in the United States. .. [Pg.19]

The men who face these challenges were a new type of businessman.. .. The pioneers of modern management... were all trained civil engineers with experience in railroad construction and bridge building before they took over the management of the roads. [Pg.19]

Many of these same people had military training, and Chandler wondered whether die new business methods they developed were borrowed from the management of men and material in the military. Chandler rejects this hypothesis emphatically (p. 95) [Pg.19]
