Meaning And Practice Of Commercial Education Classic Reprint

Excerpt from Meaning and Practice of Commercial Education In dealing with the problems which the book presents we must begin where we are. Gradual and rational changes in our higher and secondary education and in the education supplementary to elementary education, this is not revolutionary, - and this is the suggestion of the book. It has sometimes been charged against the author that he aims to commercialize the whole school program. If this is understood as set forth'in the fol lowing pages, he accepts the charge. Commercialism has been much bandied about, and not a little misunderstood. Commercial methods are obvious in the work of some who decry commercialism; on the other hand, many business men are altruistic in the best sense. The kind of education urged in this book, it is believed, will teach men the meaning of business and raise commerce above narrow commercialism. Commerce we must have.

Excerpt from Principles and Methods in Commercial Education: A d104-Book for Teachers, Students, and Business Men The occasion of the publication of a pioneer work on the subject of Principles and Methods in Commercial Education makes it appropriate to review the progress in the field of education which has made this work necessary. The rapid development of commercial education within the past fifteen years, which has been marked by the establishment of secondary and higher schools of commerce, has not only enlarged the concept of business education beyond the clerical aim of the old-time business college, but has also given rise to the need for properly trained teachers in commercial schools. The demand is for teachers who, besides being masters of their subject, are acquainted with the principles and methods of their specialty and have the ability to apply these principles in the class-room. While facilities for training persons for the higher branches of business have been established by universities, and while the literature dealing with this phase is considerable, it is strange that practically nothing has been done thus far to give prospective teachers the pedagogical foundation without which the mastery of the subject alone is inadequate to fit them for the highest attainment in their profession. The universities have sadly neglected the opportunity to offer normal training to commercial teachers, and the lack of literature on methodology is a distinct reflection of this neglect.

What has ethics got to do with my job? How can I take on ethical responsibility and help to make my company more successful at the same time? Although 'ethical responsibility' has become something of a catchphrase these days, most people only have a vague idea what it means and how it can be demonstrated in actual practice.Disasters like the Volkswagen's emission scandal, the oil spill in the Gulf of Mexico, the nuclear meltdown of Fukushima, the global financial crisis, and countless lesser-known cases of damage to human beings and the environment are the result of unethically irresponsible business practices. Efforts to maximize profits frequently lead to reckless behavior, as those in charge focus on short-term benefits and ignore social and environmental risks. Their actions have negative consequences, not only for the victims but, in many cases, for the perpetrators themselves too. Aggrieved interest groups or disadvantaged stakeholders may react with strikes, public protests, or boycotts, jeopardizing their reputation and profitability.This textbook, Applied Business Ethics, is the result of many years of research work and lecturing, and is an attempt to present the most important principles and the latest approaches in business ethics to students, teachers, and business practitioners alike, and help them to make business decisions that everyone concerned will benefit from, rather than just a few fortunate stakeholders.The author illustrates his theoretical subject matter with practical examples of real-life situations and provides numerous exercises to help the reader grasp complex issues, moral dilemmas, and business risks better. In clear, accessible, and easily understandable terms, he demonstrates how ways of finding satisfactory solutions can be found in a systematic way thanks to interdisciplinary research and philosophical reflection.

Excerpt from Conference on Commercial Education and Business Progress The dedication of the Commerce Building at the University of Illinois, which was erected during the year 1912, was made the occasion of a Conference on Commercial Education and Business Progress extending over two days, April 16 and 17, 1913. The papers and addresses that were presented on this occasion constitute the present volume. Acknowledgment should be made at this point of the indebtedness of the Director and Faculty of the Courses in Business Administration to the many persons, especially the speakers, whose generous co-operation made this occasion a success. The Commerce Building is the most recent of several new additions to the physical plant at the University of Illinois, and is devoted to the study of economics, commerce, public and private finance, railway administration, money and banking, business organization and management, accountancy, insurance, statistics, and related subjects. In explanation of the significance of the erection and dedication to such uses of this building, a circular was published upon this occasion, which may properly be quoted at this point. The Courses in Business Administration The University of Illinois showed an early interest in the training of business men. The first circular of information published in 1868 declared it to be one of the aims of the institution to prepare men "for the arduous and riskful responsibilities of the merchant and business man." The original nine departments of the University included one of "Commercial Science and Art," in charge of which was placed Captain Edward Snyder, subsequently Professor of German and Dean of the College of Literature and Science.
