Business Adrift is a seminal work by Wallace Brett Donham that explores the challenges facing businesses in the early 20th century. Donham, a renowned business professor and former dean of Harvard Business School, draws on his extensive experience to provide a critical analysis of the state of American business in the wake of World War I.The book is divided into three parts, each of which addresses a different aspect of the business landscape. In the first part, Donham examines the factors that led to the rise of big business and the challenges that these corporations faced in the aftermath of the war. He argues that the concentration of wealth and power in the hands of a few powerful corporations was a major factor in the economic instability of the time.In the second part of the book, Donham explores the role of business in society and the responsibilities that corporations have to their employees, customers, and the wider community. He argues that businesses must be more than mere profit machines and must take into account the social and ethical implications of their actions.Finally, in the third part of the book, Donham offers practical advice for business leaders on how to navigate the turbulent waters of the early 20th century. He emphasizes the importance of innovation, collaboration, and ethical leadership in creating a sustainable and prosperous business environment.Overall, Business Adrift is a thought-provoking and insightful analysis of the challenges facing businesses in the early 20th century. Donham's ideas and recommendations remain relevant today, making this book an essential read for anyone interested in the history and future of American business.This scarce antiquarian book is a facsimile reprint of the old original and may contain some imperfections such as library marks and notations.
