Illuminated buildings are the central secretariat of the Indian sunsec l nion. “What’s it like to work for a big, ex panding company like IBM? What would I be asked to do? Would I ijet ahead fast?" These were some of the questions that filled Bob Everett's mind as he faced up to the big prob lem, “How can I put my M.B.A. training to the best possible use?” Bob came directly to IBM from Cornell in July, 195o, with an M.B.A. in finance. He was immediately as signed, with twenty-nine other M.B.A.’s, to a Business Adminis tration training program. This six month/ program comprised general orientation in the entire IBM organi zation, a six weeks’ field trip to the Developing a new system Syracuse branch office and several months at the Poughkeepsie manu facturing facilities. There he gained a functional knowledge of IBM ma chines, particularly the 700 series of giant electronic computers. His training completed by January, 1956, Bob was assigned to t he M et hods Department as a Methods Analyst at IBM World Headquarters in New York City. Here, with the cooperation of operating department personnel, he worked on the development of systems and procedures for the various Divi sion areas. In addition to normal methods techniques used in develop ingsystemsand procedures, he studied these projects in terms of possible machine application for either IBM high-speed giant computers or con ventional accounting equipment. One project was the study of the Machine Ordering procedure with the objective of simplifying and mechanizing it and at the same time improving the source information to provide for a more complete analysis of sales and pro duction backlog. “What’s it like to be in BUSINESS ADMINISTRATION AT IBM?” Two year* ago, Robert Everett a*l<ed himself thi* question.

Bob was promoted to his present job — Administrative Assistant to the Con troller of the Data Processing Divi sion. ‘‘The first function of an Administrative Assistant,” .says Bob, “is to filter out the ‘hot’ projects from those that can be handled later. You follow through on projects as signed by the controller and keep Keeping th* belt polled him posted on their progress.” Bob’s new position affords a pleasant diver sification of work: charting divisional responsibilities of the con troller’sf unc tion ... plans for decentralization ... costs of regionalization ... summariz ing key financial and statistical infor mation for presentation to top man agement. Bob points out that there are many areas in Business Administration at IBM for men with an M.B.A. or a B.S. in accounting: corporate, gen eral, and factory accounting; internal audit; methods; payroll and taxes. Administrative and management positions constantly open up at World Headquarters, IBM’s 188 branch otiices, many plants and laboratories. Why Bob picked IBM Bub mark' a careful study of existing opportunities before selecting IBM fur his career, lie had a down campus interviews; took nine company tours. IBM’s M.H.A. program interested him — because, as he says. “It gave me a chance to review the entire company before starting an actual line assignment.” lie was intrigued by the increasing use of data process ing equipment in finance and he knew that IBM was a leader in this field. Salary-wise, he found IBM better than many, but it was company growth potential that motivated his choice. “Opportunity certainly exists “Opportunity certainly iiitli at IBM" at IBM,” he nays. "Growth factors alone will account for many n«-w exec utive positions. A second factor is the trend toward decentralization, which also creates new jobs. These factors, plus IBM’s ‘promote-from-within* policy, add up to real opportunity.” IBM hopes that thin message will help ta give you some idea of what it’s like to be in Business Administration at IBM. There are equal opportunities for U.K.’s, M.E.’s, physicists, mni hematicians and Liberal Arts majors in IBM' many divi sions Research, Product Development, Manufacturing Engineering, Sales and Sales Assistance.
