- Leading business historians reassess our understanding of the strengths and weaknesses of 20th century British business
- Themes include productivity, management, research and development, marketing, regional clusters and networks, industrial policy, the use of technology, and gender
- Features newer, successful post-war industry sectors from aerospace to the creative industries
- Impressive range of studies which together consider the nature of British business in the 20th century
This collection of fresh, incisive scholarship, by some of the leading business historians, critically examines the nature of economic recovery in Britain in recent years. Covering the key issues for business history in this period, the book confronts the traditional literature on conclusions of relative decline, and monocausal, simplistic explanations. It provides an impressive range of studies forming a platform for a new debate on the nature of British business in the 20th century.
Themes include productivity, management, research and development, marketing, regional clusters and networks,
industrial policy, the use of technology, and gender. Sector studies include newer, post-war hopefuls and successes including:
* aerospace,
* IT,
* retail,
* banking,
* overseas investment,
* the creative industries.
The book demonstrates that our understanding of the historic strengths and weaknesses of business in Britain, and the shifting balance between sectors of the economy, has until now been poorly understood, and that British business history needs a fundamental reappraisal.Readership: Business and Economic Historians of post-war Britiain
