Globalization or Regionalization of the American and Asian Car Industry?
ISBN: 9781403905826 / Angielski / Twarda / 243 str. Termin realizacji zamówienia: ok. 5-8 dni roboczych. The automobile sector is one of the most archetypal global industries and is seen by many as one of the main drivers behind the homogenisation of world markets due to firms' internationalization strategies and the social practices that firms impose.

It highlights the diversity and forms of internationalization and the preference for regionalization rather than globalization that has occurred over the past decade. This book looks specifically at the American and Asian...

The Second Great Emancipation: The Mechanical Cotton Picker, Black Migration, and How They Shaped the Modern South
ISBN: 9781557286062 / Angielski / Twarda / 284 str. Termin realizacji zamówienia: ok. 5-8 dni roboczych. In the "Cotton South" before World War II, every task, from plowing to cultivating to harvesting the crop, was done by hand. These labor-intensive practices, coupled with too many farmers -- both tenants and owners -- trying to survive on small, uneconomical farms, kept the region poor, backward, and unmechanized. From 1940 to 1970, however, in the Great Migration, southern blacks and whites thronged to new opportunities in the postwar, industrial North.
In this revisionist study, Donald Holley marshals impressive statistical and narrative evidence to show that mechanization occurred in the... In the "Cotton South" before World War II, every task, from plowing to cultivating to harvesting the crop, was done by hand. These labor-intensive pra...
