Accountants have the figures; other people cannot use them and if accountants will not, then we get nothing; economics continues its abstract declarations and business blunders on by individual instinct.” This ringing challenge delivered by the late Lord Stamp more than twenty-five years ago has not been fully met by either the English or the American accounting profession. An assessment of progress to date and an analysis of the factors impeding accounting research are the purposes of this paper.","PeriodicalId":359130,"journal":{"name":"Bulletin of the Business Historical Society","volume":"53 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"1950-03-01","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"114350855","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

This memorandum, set down soon after the events which it records, is indicative of the methods used by revolutionary governments and officials in fulfilling their promise of land to their agrarian followers. It also illustrates the resulting confusion to business managers and the insecurity of property, especially foreign-owned. By such methods a great deal of foreign management and capital was driven out of Mexico.","PeriodicalId":359130,"journal":{"name":"Bulletin of the Business Historical Society","volume":"10 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"1950-03-01","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"127504102","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

Business public relations began with the reaction of the first customer to the goods, services, and personality of the first man who offered some commodity—the ham of a squirrel, a live coal, a stone spear—for sale or barter. Everyone has business public relations of some sort, and even those modern companies which still disdain any formal public relations cannot escape the fact that daily they produce some sort of relations reaction in dealing with their segment of the public. As for corporation annual reports, they go back to the time the first corporation totaled its receipts and expenditures at the end of the first year and told its stockholders that they had lost or made so much money. From those beginnings have developed a public relations field that is today a professional science, albeit somewhat ambiguous, and corporation annual reports that rival the sleek magazines in budget requirements, circulation, attention-getting features, and the worry and labor of the staff which prepares them.","PeriodicalId":359130,"journal":{"name":"Bulletin of the Business Historical Society","volume":"24 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"1950-03-01","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"125041489","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

For some time it had been common knowledge, both in the trade and among the more informed public, that the company was in serious financial straits. The action of December 28 made the difficulties and future of this old New England firm no longer a regional issue but a pressing national one. Officials of the firm, representatives of labor, of the press, of radio, and politicians, both State and Federal, offered explanations and suggested answers to the timely question: What caused the company's bankruptcy and how could Waltham be saved? In attempting to find answers to this question, the representatives of management, labor, and government indicated a new direction and a new development in American business.","PeriodicalId":359130,"journal":{"name":"Bulletin of the Business Historical Society","volume":"65 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"1949-12-01","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"126291981","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}
