3i: Fifty Years Investing in Industry by Richard Coopey
3i (Investors in Industry) is Britain's leading venture capital company and has played a significant role in post-war investment banking and industrial development. The book traces its history and presents an inside-view of the workings of this institution.
Coopey and Clarke's book exposes the dilemma which has always faced 3i in trying to decide how its uniqueness fits in with the burgeoning venture capital industry that grew up all around it in the 1980s* UK Venture Capital Journal *
Informative, well written and mercifully briefer than some recent block-buster company histories. * The Business Economist *
This is a book for the specialist interested in 3i. But it also offers the student of Britain's post-war industrial development an insight into the capital markets which have thrived as that industrial base has declined. * Financial Times *
Clarke, a former finance director of 3i, gives the "insider's view" in essays which cover a number of themes, including innovations in investment, accounting and resource funding ... a splendid account of a pioneering organisation. * Business History *
