This study adds both knowledge and method in the writing of
business history. The author proposes that a preliminary management
audit can be devised and utilized to gather data, analyse and
compare longitudinally the quality of management existing in
organizations. This book modifies a methodological tool for
measuring, analysing and comparing managements to aid in the
writing of business history. It establishes criteria and examples
of excellent management from a sample of the USA's first
large-scale organization - the railroads. Prior to the 1870s the
railroads were the only big business in the USA and the early ones
emerged as a managerial problem which made obsolescent traditional
structures and concepts and required effective management.
