The Development of Modern Business by Gordon Boyce
This text blends economic theory with empirical evidence to chart business development over the last two centuries in the UK, the United States, Japan and Australia. It addresses enduring concerns for entrepreneurs and managers and demonstrates the value of an historical perspective from which to judge present day issues. Each chapter considers an issue of current significance, introduces theories to illuminate the topic, and discusses historical evidence and debates. Also included are relevant case studies and original documents. Discussion questions, statistical tables, and further reading are appended to each chapter.
'A long-awaited and truly valuable text for Australian Business History students, as well as a welcome addition to reading lists in History and Business Studies' - Dr Pamela Statham & Mr Brian Gidney, The University of Western Australia 'There is no doubt that the book will greatly facilitate the teaching of business history, and as an integrated text spanning all the major managerial sub-disciplines, it is a useful reference point for scholars in the general field of international business history and beyond.' - Steven Toms, Business History 'Very interesting combination of theory and history.' - Professor G. Jones, Harvard Business School
