Sixth International Congress for Scientific Management

Abstract

THE Sixth International Congress for Scientific Management, the first congress of its kind to be held in Great Britain, will take place on July 15-20 and will be opened by its patron, the Prince of Wales. It will discuss commercial, agricultural and domestic problems and how far the adoption of the most scientific principles of management has facilitated their solution. Some three hundred chairmen, managing directors and professional and scientific men have so far enrolled, and the standard of the papers received from all parts of the world is most encouraging. The organisation of the Congress is in the hands of a Council convened by the Federation of British Industries. Subjects to be discussed include: manufacturing, distribution, development, agricultural, educational and training, and domestic. There is every indication that a really important gathering will take place. H.M. Government is to invite members to a reception, and the Lord Mayor and Corporation will receive them in the Guildhall. A series of visits to factories and institutions will take place in the week following the Congress. Invitations to the Congress containing membership forms and full details may be obtained from the Secretary, 21 Tothill Street, London, S.W.I.
