Who was Alexander Hamilton Church?
Alexander Hamilton Church was an English efficiency engineer, accountant and author. He became known as one of the pioneers in reducing the commercial organization of factories to the basis of a science, a work in which he was associated with J. Slater Lewis. He also worked with Hans Renold, who is credited for introducing scientific management to England.
Church was born and raised in England and came to the United States in 1910. Together with L.P. Alford he developed as systems of management principles partly based on the ideas of Charles Babbage. Their theory contrasted Taylor's shop management principles, and paved the way to modern industrial management. Church first book "The Proper Distribution of Expense Burden" was published as a series of articles in The Engineering Magazine in 1901, and as book in 1908. This became a reference for accounting both in The United States and England.
