Abstract
IN reviewing a book dealing with a narrow application of management technique such as time study, the reviewer faced with a difficult choice. Should he judge the contents against the standard required to satisfy an experienced time-study engineer, or merely give a resume of the subject-matter which may help students to decide whether the book contains subjects of interest to them ? This book by Mr. C. L. Guest makes the choice even more difficult, for it may be of interest to both types of reader. I have therefore made a personal choice and reviewed the book against my own standard of what a book with this title should contain.
The Technique of Industrial Labour Payment
Setting forth the Fundamental Principles of Time Study and Payment by Result. By C. L. Guest. Pp. xii + 198. (London : Macdonald and Evans, 1948.) 35s. net.
