Recenzje

This collection of papers ... all deal with twentieth-century business history and will be valuable for students of management and business who are looking for case study material. The majority treat firms in modern and major industries, not least electronics and computers, motor cars, and retailing. Several deal with significant business phenomena - hive-off, R&D, succession. The editor's introduction affords a most useful literature survey. To this extent they will satisfy the business school cry for relevance.
