FREDERICK, JUSTUS GEORGE.[[2]] Great game of business; its rules, its fascinations, its services and rewards. *$1.50 Appleton 658
20–21357
The author makes no apologies for calling business “a game.” Properly played it is “perhaps the greatest game left to man to play, because it engages more faculties, renders greater constructive, practical service to the world and offers more discipline and stimulation and variety to the individual than almost any other interest which could be followed. Indeed, it is the game that most of us must follow!” (Preface) But—it must be played well—with more sportsmanship—with more harmony and esprit de corps. A partial list of the contents is: Warming up for the great game; Amateur or professional; The standard personal code; Technique—the science of the game; Organization and teamwork; The humbling of money to its true place in the great game; The new business ethical code; “Fair play” and unfair competition.
