Eldridge Haynes
From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
Eldridge Haynes (1904-1976) is best remembered as the founder of Business International Corporation and a spokesman for free trade and advocate for the international business community. His early career in journalism took him to McGraw-Hill, and then eventually into starting a new magazine called Modern Industry. However, recognizing the American companies were increasingly investing abroad, he founded Business International in 1953. By the time of his death in 1976, it had grown into a major source of international business information, research, and advisory services. (This company was later acquired by The Economist)
The Haynes Prize for the Most Promising Scholar is awarded annually by Academy of International Business Foundation and the Eldridge Haynes Memorial Trust.
