Abstract:

Despite recent interest in the history of the American worker, relatively little attention has been paid to the evolution of corporate employment and labor relations practices, particularly in the nonunion sector. In this article, Professor Jacoby examines the employee attitude testing program at Sears, Roebuck and Company and places it in a larger historical context as well as in the narrower framework of developments in personnel relations. During the 1940s and 1950s the Sears program was one of the most innovative and sophisticated applications of behavioral science to workplace problems, a

Abstract:

Less than two decades after Sears, Roebuck-once the nation's largest mail-order business-entered the retailing business in 1924, it had gained prominence in that field nearly equal to that of its competitors. This unprecedented rate of expansion was marked by innovations in merchandising and store design. Sears was a pioneer in creating department stores that catered to men as well as women, that eschewed style in favor of practicality in merchandise, and that allowed customers to select goods without the aid of a clerk. The buildings likewise broke from convention. They were generally oriente

Abstract:

This article was first published in Radical History Review No. 25, 1986. Since then the controversy has escalated dramatically, with articles in the New York Times and Ms magazine and editorials in the Washington Post. Most of the media have used the controversy as a vehicle to attack women's history and women's studies in general. Had I known the direction that this publicity would take I would have written a much stronger piece. Feminist Studies is planning to publish a piece by Ruth Milkman outlining the issues involved in the case, and Signs will publish some of the written testimony in fo

Abstract:

When the Sears, Roebuck Company opened its first store in Mexico City on February 28, 1947, an observer reported that the crowds on opening day were generally “well behaved, but impatient; they wanted to buy! buy! and buy!” Saleswomen panicked “as a sea of hands thrust pesos toward them, into their pockets, into their blouses, anywhere—just to complete a purchase.” Customers not only refused to leave at the end of the day; they stayed outside the store after closing. They jammed the street at night trying to look through the windows. On Saturday, two days after the store opened, Sears observer

Abstract:

This study will investigate Sears, Roebuck & Co. and the special relationship it established with the South during the first half of the twentieth-century. The study will examine oral interviews with former employees, southern literature and customer letters from the region in an effort to better understand how Sears became more than just a friend to the poor dirt farmers of the South; it became a uniquely southern institution.

The letters are not just on cleaning company vans but more familiar firms, including Chrysler LLC and Sears Brands LLC (aka Sears Roebuck). You may have wondered whether the difference in initials signifies anything of importance. This book answers that question: Yes.

Abstract Women’s Studies Entered The courtroom in the 1986 case of the Equal Employment Opportunity Commission v. Sears, Roebuck and Company. The Economic Opportunity Commission (EEOC) accused Sears of sex discrimination by channeling female workers into salaried sales jobs that paid less and were less prestigious than those that included a commission as part of compensation. Sears did not dispute the lack of women in commission sales jobs but denied that the disparity was due to discriminatory practices. Sears argued that the kinds of jobs that included commissions involved traditionally male

Abstract:

The book concludes with an examination of the relocation of department stores to suburban shopping centers and the Sears, Roebuck, and Company affirmative action cases. Mass suburbanization, the rise of discount retailers such as Kmart and Wal-Mart, and urban decay transformed department stores. Black workers found that the gains they had made in downtown department stores had virtually disappeared as department stores followed their preferred clientele—the white middle class—to the suburbs. Here, stores were able to return to their former racial practices in spaces that were inaccessible via

Meanwhile, on the other side of town, the Conservative Vice Lords, who had rechristened themselves as a street organization, rather than a gang, were concentrating on enterprising hustles that married culture and entrepreneurship, even partnering with Sears & Roebuck and purchasing a Ta

Abstract:

Abstract What is corporate success, and how is it measured? In this chapter I explore the strengths and weaknesses of common performance measures by comparing the performance of America’s leading retailers—Wal-Mart, Kmart, and Sears-Roebuck. Some people judge success by size. They look at a firm’s sales, its market share, and its stock exchange value. Sometimes performance is assessed by referring to the rate of return, which can be measured as the return on equity, on investment, or on sales. And sometimes success is measured by growth, reflected in an increase in output, movements in earning

Consumer-oriented construction is shaped by a collection of plug and play products: dimension lumber, CMUs, appliances, window assemblies, premade vanities, and so forth—an extension of Reyner Banham’s poignant mid-century analysis of the American fascination with gizmos.1 This lingering postwar vision is delivered not as a ready-made kit in the vein of Sears, Roebuck & Co.’s early prefab homes but as individual parts nonetheless intended to go together, furnished by Home Depot, Lowes, Menards, and others.2
