Opis

This study of shipping makes visible a sector that has led European economic growth for centuries, yet rarely appears in business or economic histories.

Recenzje

'To understand globalization means understanding its fundamental components - technology, institutions, business culture and entrepreneurial forces active in the realm of the international economy. In this seminal book, which summarizes years of accurate research, Gelina Harlaftis provides invaluable evidence for those interested in the complex and articulated universe of global entrepreneurship.' Andrea Colli, Università Commerciale Luigi Bocconi
