Excerpt from Organisation: As Applied to Industrial Problems Great Britain reached its proud position as the Premier Nation of the World in times when Trade and Commerce were undeveloped. Therefore, all that was necessary for success at that time was enterprise and love of adventure. In later days, other Nations entered the field, and profiting by England's mistakes - mistakes inseparable from Pioneer work - were able to commence with a very great additional advantage. Competition is now World-wide, and the only way which Great Britain can increase or even maintain her position is by adopting more scientific methods when conducting Financial, Commercial, and Technical Trade. This truism is fully recognised on all hands. The direction, however, in which a considerable difference of opinion arises is in deciding what methods should be employed.
