    Top management at Nucor Corporation has determined its own internal investment criterion in determining whether to accept or reject a new investment project. Currently, the company judges the potential success of a project by its ability to achieve a 25 percent return on assets after 5 years. This ratio measures how efficiently Nucor’s assets are able to generate revenue. Based off current market growth rate predictions, an investment in the CSP process will result in a return on assets of 29.33 percent.

On those terms it cannot have a pre-modern history, only harbingers (such as stewards). Others, however, detect management-like-thought back to Sumerian traders and to the builders of the pyramids of ancient Egypt. Slave-owners through the centuries faced the problems of exploiting/motivating a dependent but sometimes unenthusiastic or recalcitrant workforce, but many pre-industrial enterprises, given their small scale, did not feel compelled to face the issues of management systematically. However, innovations such as the spread of Arabic numerals (5th to 15th centuries) and the codification of double-entry book-keeping (1494) provided tools for management assessment, planning and control.…
