Laboring on the Periphery: Managers and Workers at the A. M. Byers Company, 1900–1956
本文研究传统企业在现代企业兴起中如何延续，以拜尔斯公司为例，分析其基于个人权威和财产权的简单管理控制体系，以及家族态度和历史如何塑造其劳动政策。
Although historians have thoroughly discussed the impact of transformations in the workplace and the corporate structure that accompanied the rise of modern business enterprises, Professor Santos argues that they have ignored the traditional firms that continued to exist amid these changes. Constituting a significant portion of companies operating in the industrial economy, firms like Byers employed simple systems of managerial control based on the entrepreneurs' personal authority and property interest in the business. While labor policy at modern corporations was shaped by the managers' need to establish administrative control over the production and distribution systems, Byers's labor policy was defined by family attitude and the company's history.
