The Soul of Business (Classic Reprint)

Ten years ago the Alexander Hamilton Institute came into being with the purpose of inculcating the basic principles of modern business. In so doing it has sought to ally itself with every forward movement that has been tested and has proved its worth. The Institute has always felt that business could unfold its great usefulness only when based upon and fortified by the highest ideals. It has always stood for practical idealism in the world of affairs and it seems fitting to commemorate the first decade of its successful history by a publication which brings this attitude into clear relief. The problems now facing us are more complex than any that business men have heretofore been called upon to solve. We need more than ever before the keenest, surest insight into the business principles that are basic. Methods and devices, however good, will not suffice in these days. We need the principles that lie deep in the nature of men, as they have been worked out in the sanest business practices. Doctor Jenks has made a study of this field of business psychology and business ethics. In the illustrations that show the universality of the application of these principles appears much that will seem new and possibly strange. Few will deny that they are sound. We are sure that they are practical. We hope that whether or not you agree in all points, you will find them interesting.
