Review of The human instincts in business

Abstract

Reviews the book, The human instincts in business by A.B. Fitt (1922). The author of this book does not claim to have made any new contribution to our knowledge of instincts; he has attempted only to point out in what way our knowledge of human nature-in the major part our knowledge of instincts-can be of value in solving the problem of industrial relations, and that seems to be mainly a problem of incentives. The "book is an outline of some of the main features of a series of lectures delivered in 1918 to a body of men and women representative of the Melbourne business world" (p. VIII).
