The Modern Business Talks, which are sent fortnightly, are informal discussions of the principles treated in the Text. As the name indicates, these Talks bring up many specific points and cases, and show more clearly why and how the underlying principles of scientific business should be applied. They are particularly direct, practical and stimulating. Their periodic visits serve to keep every subscriber in touch with the Institute Staff and alive to the importance of following the Course systematically. The Talks are prepared by members of the Institute Staff or other authorities.
In the pamphlet which contains the Talk the reading assignment for the following two weeks is suggested. On receiving the fortnightly instalment of new material, the subscriber will ordinarily read the Talk before taking up the reading assignment, and thus get a bird's-eye view of the ground that is to be covered during the succeeding two weeks.

Each Problem is a carefully worded statement of all the essential factors in some business situation; in other words, the situation is presented and described just as it might be in the report of a subordinate official to the head of a business enterprise. The Problems are so arranged as to correspond closely to the assigned reading. For instance, after the subject of cost accounts has been discussed, a Problem is given in which a knowledge of cost accounting principles is called for. Thus, the Problems serve not merely to test the subscriber's understanding and thinking power, but also to fix in his mind and make definite the statements and principles contained in the Text volumes.
When solutions to the Problems are sent in, they are criticised, graded, and returned with suggestions for further study. Solutions to the Problems are not, however, required. Some of the titles are:
