Labour focuses on the issues and problems concerning the efficient
full employment of labour in a free market economy. The discussion
is largely about the conditions (including comparative wages)
underlying industrial efficiency and maximum production from
various labour resources at least cost. By estimating man-power,
analysing the human factor and measuring labour efficiency, the
book summarizes contemporary evidence on employment conditions for
or against efficiency and the effect upon the incidence of
unemployment.
Originally published in 1929. This balanced combination of
fieldwork, statistical measurement, and realistic applications
shows a synthesis of economics and political science in a
conception of an organic relationship between the two sciences that
involves functional analysis, institutional interpretation, and a
more workmanlike approach to questions of organization such as
division of labour and the control of industry. The treatise
applies the test of fact through statistical analysis to economic
and political theories for the quantitative and institutional
approach in solving social and industrial problems. It constructs a
framework of concepts, combining both economic and political
theory, to systematically produce an original statement in general
terms of the principles and methods for statistical fieldwork. The
separation into Parts allows selective reading for the methods of
statistical measurement; the principles and fallacies of applying
these measures to economic and political fields; and the resultant
construction of a statistical economics and politics. Basic
statistical concepts are described for application, with each
method of statistical measurement illustrated with instances
relevant to the economic and political theory discussed and a
statistical glossary is included.
Summarizing the facts about the prevailing sizes of industrial
firms or plants and the patterns of industrial location in Britain
and America, this book also interprets the facts in basic terms
such as technical requirements and consumer habits. Examining
investment and human resource management, the contrasts and
(unexpected) similarities in the industrial structure and
government of the two countries are analysed. The book includes new
research into the real seat of power in the British joint stock
company and compares the results with the realities of the American
corporation.
Covering issues as pertinent today as when the book was first
published, The Logic of Industrial Organization discusses key
themes in industrial relations, manufacturing, employment and
investment and education for business administration. The book
contains chapters on the following: The Structure of Industry; The
Efficiency of Large-Scale Operation; Planned and Free Consumption;
Forecasting and Market Research; Competition; Rationalization and
Nationalization; Investment and Employment; Incentives to Work and
Mobility; Stimulus to Enterprise and Administration.
