International Bibliography of Business History

<p>The field of business history has changed and grown dramatically over the last few years. There is less interest in the traditional `company-centred' approach and more concern about the wider business context. With the growth of multi-national corporations in the 1980s, international and inter-firm comparisons have gained in importance. In addition, there has been a move towards improving links with mainstream economic, financial and social history through techniques and outlook. The <em>International Bibliography of Business History</em> brings all of the strands together and provides the user with a comprehensive guide to the literature in the field.<br>The <em>Bibliography</em> is a unique volume which covers the depth and breadth of research in business history. This exhaustive volume has been compiled by a team of subject specialists from around the world under the editorship of three prestigious business historians.</p> 1.
