Add butter and soda, dis solved in a little water. Then add flour. Turn dough out on board and, using a special rolling pin with indented designs, roll the dough. Cut the cookies. Dust towel with flour, sprinkle anise seed on this and place cookies on seeds. Leave overnight. Next morning, bake on waxed, buttered or floured baking tin until cookies will “slip” on tin.

What would I be asked to do? Would I get 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, 1955, 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 months’ program comprised general orientation in the entire IBM organi zation, a six weeks’ field trip to the “What’s it like to be in BUSINESS ADMINISTRATION AT IBM?” Two years ago, Robert Everett asked himself this question. Today, as Administrative Assistant to the Divisional Controller, Bob reviews his experience at IBM and gives some pointers that may be helpful to you in taking the first, most important step in your business career. Why Bob picked IBM Bob made a careful study of existing opportunities before selecting IBM for his career. He had a dozen campus interviews; took nine company tours. IBM’s M.B.A. program interested him—because, as he says, “It gave me a chance to review the entire company before starting an actual line assignment.” He 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 Filtering out the “hot” projects Promoted the same year By December of the same year, 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 mmi 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, B ob was assigned to the Methods 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 ing systems and 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. Keeping the boss posted him posted on their progress.” Bob’s new position affords a pleasant diver sification of work: charting divisional responsibilities of the controller’s func 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 offices, many plants and laboratories. “Opportunity certainly exists at IBM" at IBM,” he says. “Growth factors alone will account for many new 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 this message will help to give you some idea of what it’s like to be in Business Administration at IBM. There are equal opportunities for E.E.’s, M.E.’s, physicists, mathematicians and Liberal Arts majors in IBM’s many divi sions—Research, Product Development, Manufacturing Engineering, Sales and Sales Assistance.
