In 1914 the two largest firms in Russia were subsidiaries of American companies. Remarkably, they were almost as large as their parent companies, striking testimony to the potential of the underdeveloped Russian market. Fred Carstensen provides detailed histories of the movement of International Harvester and Singer into this new, profitable, and somewhat forbidding territory.<br> <br> <br> <br> Describing how both sales organizations evolved in Russia, Carstensen relates their development to overall company histories, worldwide growth, changing sales strategies and structures, recruitment and training of employees, and corporate leadership in America and abroad. He finds that both firms entered the Russian market because they needed new outlets to sustain high levels of production and sales. Although there are parallels in their experiences, Carstensen identifies how the responses of the two corporations differed, reflecting the varying strategies and perceptions of company management.<br> <br> <br> <br> Together the case studies provide a test for many of the supposed qualities and patterns of Russian economic history. Contrary to accounts of the experiences of other companies, these firms found the Russian market remarkably rich, developing a level of sales that might have surpassed the American market if war had not erupted. In contrast to the standard view of foreign enterprise, neither company came to Russia because of government invitation or influence but rather because of the intrinsic attractiveness of the markets, and neither firm found the government bureaucracy graft-ridden or the customers dishonest.<br> <br> <br> <br> Carstensen shows that International Harvester and Singer Sewing Machine clearly influenced Russia in a positive way. Both trained large numbers of Russians in modern industrial and marketing procedures and both provided an extraordinary volume of credit on comparatively easy terms to encourage purchase of their products. Indeed, the success of their approach suggests that Russian economic development may have been limited not by weak aggregate demand but by the relative absence of sources of credit.<br> <br> <br> <br> Originally published in 1984.<br> <br> <br> <br> A UNC Press Enduring Edition -- UNC Press Enduring Editions use the latest in digital technology to make available again books from our distinguished backlist that were previously out of print. These editions are published unaltered from the original, and are presented in affordable paperback formats, bringing readers both historical and cultural value.

A multiplicity of factors converging together suggest the long term/post-acute care (LTPAC) provider community (e.g. nursing homes, behavioral health facilities, home health agencies, etc.) will accelerate in importance within the healthcare ecosystem during the next few years. The challenge for many LTPAC providers in this emerging environment will be to advance their clinical health information technologies (health IT) capabilities in order to "play" with other providers in the healthcare "sandbox." This book is designed to assist LTPAC leaders in identifying and exploring the array of critical issues one needs to consider in order to operate within an advanced clinical health IT ecosystem. This book surveys key issues surrounding the use of clinical health IT in LTPAC settings, to include providing readers with a suggested strategic plan and roadmap for selecting and installing digital health technologies in LTPAC organizations. Though the focus of the book primarily centers on the U.S. LTPAC providerβs experience, the authors also spend time addressing global and future LTPAC considerations.

Excerpt from A Study of the Cost of Horse and Tractor Power on Illinois Farms <p>That many farmers can cut their operating costs without changing their type of power is indicated by the wide variation found in operating costs among farms similar in size and produc tive organization and operated with the same type of power. On the other hand it is doubtless true that many farmers have profited by changing their power organization and that still others would profit by doing so. <p>Because of its distinctive place on com -belt farms, the general purpose tractor is considered separately from the standard tractor in all analyses of tractor power made in this study. <p>About the Publisher <p>Forgotten Books publishes hundreds of thousands of rare and classic books.

Excerpt from Deer Park and Oakland: Twins of the Alleghanies <p>When the sagacious and prescient minds that control the great railway corporation determined to create in the tonic and translucent atmosphere, three thousand feet above the level of the sea, an ideal Summer Home, to which the public should be bidden, they bent to their work with energy and lavishness. All the resources and judgment acquired by architects, builders, decorators, and sanitary engineers were freely enlisted in the formulation and accomplishment Of plans that should carry the names of the twin resorts with honor throughout the land. It would have been the common error of a false and mere tricious taste to seek to overlay the simple and unadorn able grandeur Of these mountain wilds with tawdry devices, but a correct and generous appreciation of the value of the surroundings dominated the scheme upon which deer park and oakland were established, and, as a consequence, we have two retreats that are unique in the United States. There is nothing else like them; andthere can be nothing else like them in those features which conduce to the perfect restoration of mental and physical robustness, the supreme peace, the salutary enjoyment, the days of luxurious ease, or (as one chooses) Of invigorat ing exercise, the associations Of cultured and genial society, the nights of unbroken and profound rest - all the medi cines Outside the pharmacopoeia that build up a strong and exuberant vitality and go to solve in the affirmative the problem whether life is worth living. In the system which rules upon the crest of the Alleghanies, the happy medium is attained between the noisy and incessant whirl of certain resorts that merely transfer the routine Of the city to the country and the discomforts and desolation of existence in humbler refuges in which people have tried to persuade themselves that they were recreating, because their beds were hard, their rooms untidy, their steak burned, and their biscuits underdone. There is comfort, elegance, luxury, on the great eastern divide but from the stately hotels and dainty cottages one plunges into the primitive forests, or ascends to the eternal crags, and leaves the world behind. <p>About the Publisher <p>Forgotten Books publishes hundreds of thousands of rare and classic books.
