William Cooper Procter letter, December 19, 1919
No full textDated December 19, 1919, this is a generic letter from William Cooper Procter, president of the Leonard Wood League, sent to Republican voters in an attempt to win his support for presidential candidate Leonard Wood. Wood was President Harding's toughest rival among Ohio Republicans, as many prominent Ohio politicians and political insiders supported Wood, especially Rudolph Hynicka of Cincinnati. Accompanying the letter is a flier about Wood and his qualifications and presidential traits, as well as a League card.
These materials are part of the Warren G. Harding Papers (MSS 345). This collection includes correspondence, business records, and other materials documenting Harding’s business career as owner and editor-in-chief of The Daily Marion Star, as well as the various stages of his political career. A significant portion of the collection, and what’s available on Ohio Memory, highlights his 1920 presidential campaign, spanning just before publicly announcing his candidacy to handily defeating Ohio Governor James M. Cox in the election. Correspondents include both Ohio and national businessmen, political figures, and ordinary citizens writing with questions, support, congratulatory notes, and campaign advice. Some of the most interesting insights into the tumultuous political climate in the U.S., the extreme factionalism within the Republican Party in Ohio, and Harding’s campaign strategies are described in letters between Harding and his campaign manager, Harry M. Daugherty. Some of the topics addressed include women’s suffrage, Prohibition, the League of Nations, African American representation and issues, and lingering peace negotiations following World War I
Frank H. Hitchcock and William C. Procter dispute article
No full textThis document provides insight into the dispute between Ohio Republicans Frank H. Hitchcock and William C. Procter leading up to the Ohio primary elections for the 1920 presidential election. At this time, Hitchcock, former chair of the Republican National Committee and U.S. Postmaster General, and William C. Procter, political insider and head of Procter & Gamble, were co-managing General Leonard Wood's presidential campaign, a party favorite in southwest Ohio. As the text describes, Hitchcock and Procter refuse to co-manage Wood's campaign, and Wood will likely dismiss Procter once the Ohio primaries are over. Wood became Harding's biggest opponent among Ohioans for the Republican presidential nomination, as he had strong support throughout Ohio.

DESIGNING MATRIX ORGANIZATIONS THAT WORK: LESSONS FROM THE P&G CASE
No full textThe purpose of this paper is to illustrate why companies adopted the matrix, what problems they had, the solutions for these problems based on Galbraith (2009) and other authors like Davis & Lawrence (1977), and the state of the art of matrix structure design today like the P&G front-back hybrid matrix organization. The matrix organization concept emerged from the US aerospace industry in the 1960s and was adopted by many companies in the early 1970s. In the late 1970s and early 1980s many companies were experiencing trouble with its operation and many argued like Peters & Waterman in their bestseller In search of excellence in 1982 (p. 306) that the matrix was too complex to work properly. Galbraith (2009, p. 10-14) explains that the reason for the problems were that the matrix in these organizations was wrongly adopted, hastily installed, and inappropriately implemented. He explains that adopting a matrix structure requires a collaborative organization form, proper power, and accountability distribution, complementing changes to the information systems, planning and budgeting process, the performance evaluation and bonus system, and so on. To illustrate the historical evolution of organization structure to the simple matrix and then to more complex matrix organizations we used the P&G case (Piskorski & Spadini 2007).Matrix organization, organization structure design, front-back hybrid matrix organization
A The Procter and Gamble 2012-es éves jelentése
No full textDolgozatomban a Procter and Gamble 2012-es éves jelentését angolról magyarra, valamint a francia P&G munkájának összefoglalását franciáról magyarra fordítom le. Kommentárjaimban a nehézséget okozó szakszavak, hivatalos dokumentumok és intézménynevek lefordítását taglalom, valamint a mondattani problémákat, mint például a hosszú mondatokat, a felsorolást, a passzív szerkezeteket és az igésítést. Ez a lista persze nem teljes, nem soroltam fel az összes szókapcsolatot, amelynek utána kellett néznem, csak a legfontosabb és fordítástechnikai szempontból érdekes problémákat vetettem fel, melyeket csokorba szedtem és osztályoztam.
Ezek olyan problémák, amelyekkel a kezdő fordító szembesülhet, vagy akár a gyakorlott fordító számára is nehézséget okoznak. A fordítás mindig hosszadalmas, főleg, ha szakszövegről van szó, mivel a szakzsargon elsajátítása – és esetemben – a cég és termékeinek pontosabb megismerése szükséges. Ezért a fordítás során ellenőriztem a Procter and Gamble hivatalos amerikai, francia és magyar weboldalakat, ahol eltéréseket és – a magyar weboldal esetén – hiányosságokat találtam. Így különösen fontosnak tartom a Procter and Gamble amerikai, a francia és a magyar marketingfelelőseinek és weblapszerkesztőinek szoros együttműködését, kommunikációját, hogy az ilyen problémák kiküszöbölhetőek legyenek.
A fordítás során tapasztalt nehézségeket internetes korpuszok, egy-és kétnyelvű szótárak, szószedetek, több szakirodalom és a helyesírási szabályzat segítségével küzdöttem le, a forrásnyelvi szöveggel a célnyelvi szöveget többször összevetettem, hogy az minden információt tartalmazzon.BKFordító és tolmácsMSc/M
