Item description from seller

First edition, inscribed by Mooney on the front free endpaper, "To John Schumann, whose personal qualities have made him a natural leader in industry, Jim Mooney". Mooney and Schumann worked together as executives at General Motors, where the former was in charge of overseas operations and the latter was president of the General Motors Acceptance Corporation. Mooney (1884-1957) was both an influential early writer on management and a figure of diplomacy during the 1930s, undertaking informal contacts with senior German officials including a 1939 meeting with Hermann Göring in Berlin. In 1938 he received the Merit Cross of the Order of the German Eagle, First Class.
