Product Description

Product Description
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 a historical perspective from which to judge present day issues. Each chapter considers an issue of 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.

4.0 out of 5 stars A most useful and interesting overview, 10 Jun 2004
By Emma Haxhaj (Erith, Kent United Kingdom) - See all my reviews
I found this publication very useful as an overview of factors shaping modern business. The comparison of the UK with US, Japan and Australia was particularly interesting and useful. With case studies illustrating different management theories and styles as well as issues and events affecting businesses, the content was both readable, made relevant and informative.
