Abstract
THE Institute of Industrial Administration, 47 King William Street, London, E.C.4, has as its objects the raising of management to the status of an organised profession; the encouragement of the maintenance of appropriate professional standards; and the development of the science and technique of Industrial Administration by papers, conferences and research. Although not a teaching body it holds examinations and grants certificates and diplomas, and in other ways promotes the education of students in the principles and practice of industrial administration. The new syllabus of Stage I under the title of Fundamentals of Industrial Administration is identical in content with syllabuses recently adopted by the Institution of Mechanical Engineers and the Institution of Electrical Engineers. The stage is designed to introduce the candidate to a general understanding of the place of industry in the world of affairs, the controlling influences under which it operates and the functions involved in its management, and the syllabus well illustrates the valuable work which the Institute is doing towards placing industrial administration on a scientific and professional basis.
