THE PSYCHOLOGY OF BUSINESS ASSOCIATIONS

Business Mems Associations of the Chamber of Commerce
type have had the and the weak points OF tie commercial
community Business engaged in the competitive
agement of industry with personal reward the motive When
they unite for advancement of the city, they show
much the characteristics that they their daily
labor
They have the initiative and drive that goes with nddu
ally owned enterprise The competitive struggle develops the
qualities of self help and mpatence with delays and the tendency
TO the of the effort in terms of money gain
loss These qualities will appear well managed business mans
organization and they the that accopses large
results
good community organization, however demands son,e-
thing 1t must manifest the spirit of cooperation and get
ting together of harmony between business rivals tolerance of
conflicting views The organization must not expect that it's
suits be wholly measured in terms of dollars and cents 1t
must work also for social happiness and welfare of the people and
for service to all interests in the community.
good many business organizations have failed to
compsh much because they looked commercial profit alone If
their making enterprises happened to fall down. they had
accomplished nothing for civic advance and the people would feel
that their effort had been fruitess.
broad and modern business mans movement will make civic
advance and human welfare it's first objective When attans
that business gains will follow necessary incident That's
