    Book SynopsisDie Eisen- und Stahlindustrie ist seit dem ausgehenden 19. Jahrhundert international vernetzt. Wichtiger Bestandteil der ökonomischen Austausch- und Konkurrenzbeziehungen war eine bisher kaum beachtete sozial und kulturell wirkmächtige Praxis: Branchenakteure verglichen ihre Industrie mit ihrer Konkurrenz in anderen Ländern. In der konjunkturanfälligen Stahlindustrie war ein besonderes Bedürfnis zu beobachten, die eigenen Leistungen und Errungenschaften im Spiegel der internationalen Konkurrenz zu bewerten und das eigene ökonomische Handeln orientieren zu können. Welche Rolle spielten Vergleichspraktiken innerhalb der Konkurrenz? Diese Frage beantwortet die Studie für die deutsche und US-amerikanische Eisen- und Stahlindustrie in der Zeit zwischen den 1870er und den 1930er Jahren.

    Book SynopsisText in German. The phase of the so-called "Second Industrialization" at the turn of the century was characterized in Germany and France by new forms of industrial production, but also by mass consumption. This led to changed organizational forms in the production of large companies. For the first time, systematic management teachings and thus new directions in organizational science literature developed. In both countries, entrepreneurs began to structure their businesses in a reflective way, to professionalize management and to think through problems of work organization. This process is extensively examined in the present work. The comparison between the neighboring countries, both of which are among the most industrialized countries in Europe, is intended to clarify how this new organizational theory was similar in large companies, but also which branch-specific and national peculiarities gained importance in the companies.

    Book SynopsisDiese Studie wurde vom VDI mit dem Conrad-Matschoß-Preis 2021 ausgezeichnet.Zu Beginn der 1930er Jahre tauchten im bis dato expressionistisch geprägten deutschen Zukunftsfilm vermehrt Ingenieure auf, die als Helden technischer Großprojekte einem vordergründigen Fortschrittsoptimismus frönten. Dabei verwiesen diese Filmfiguren auf Ordnungsvorstellungen, die technokratische bis völkische Lösungen der zeitgenössisch virulenten Frage nach dem Konflikt von Kapital und Arbeit bemühten. In einem technikhistorischen Zugriff auf cineastische vergangene Zukünfte sowie unter Anwendung des Konzepts der hegemonialen Männlichkeit analysiert die Autorin die filmische Inszenierung von Ingenieuren und Technik. Sie zeigt auf, dass sich diese Filme als (Zerr-)Spiegel einer zentralen Konfliktlinie der industriellen Klassengesellschaft der Zwischenkriegszeit verstehen lassen.

    Book SynopsisThe figure of the entrepreneur has become a relevant factor that explains the process of growth and economic development. In the university world, academic research has multiplied on entrepreneurship, a term that has triple meaning: the figure of the entrepreneur, the business function and the creation of companies. This versatile meaning has to be based on a consistent theory about the company and the entrepreneur. This book brings together the research carried out by its authors with primary sources and makes it accessible to a wide audience, Spanish and Latin American; the book is especially written for an audience that does not speak Spanish or does not know the topics discussed in it.Table of ContentsEntrepreneur – Entrepreneurship – Business – History – Spain

    Out of stock

    Book SynopsisWhen the German Industrial Revolution is mentioned, some unanswered questions like “when?”, “how?”, “by whom?” comes to mind. This book opens the curtain of unanswered questions about German Industrialization. Unlike previous studies on German Industrialization, this book, which reveals a highly integrated framework, also examines original areas such as the importance of education in German Industrialization and the pioneering German banking models in the 19th century. Moreover, this book offers the reader a new perspective by examining Turkish-German relations from the perspective of German Industrialization. Making use of Turkish, German and American archive documents, this book aims to provide the reader with rational inferences about German industrialization and the behind-the-scenes of Turkish-German relations with its in-depth literature review and intense analysis.Table of ContentsList of Tables - Foreword - Abstract - Introduction - Chapter 1 Fundamentals of German Industrialization - Chapter 2 Industrialization in the German Empire - Chapter 3 Ottoman- German Military and Strategic Relations after German Industrialization (1871– 1914) - Chapter 4 Turkish- German Military and Poltical Relations after the First World War from Industrial Perspective (1914– 1929) - Epilogue - Bibliography

    Book SynopsisThe arrival of telegraphy and railroads changed power relations throughout the world in the nineteenth century. In the Mesilla region of the American Southwest, it contributed to two distinct and rapid shifts in political and economic power from the 1850s to the 1920s. Torsten Kathke illustrates how the changes these technologies wrought everywhere could be seen at a much accelerated pace here. A local Hispano elite was replaced first by a Hispano-Anglo one, and finally a nationally oriented Anglo elite. As various groups tried to gain, hold, and defend power, the region became bound ever closer to the US economy and to the federal government.Trade Review"A reader looking for a cultural study of the Mesilla will be greatly rewarded by Kathkes effort." -- Bryant Macfarlane, https://networks.h-net.org, 11 (2020)"Kathkes focus on issues of cultural amalgamation, law, and government action in the Mesilla makes for a highly useful study if not for readers primarily concerned with the history of technology for those interested in the American Southwest, borderlands studies, and U.S. colonialism."

  • AS Verlag Swiss Air: A day by day documentation

    1 in stock

    Book SynopsisThis account of Swissair's day-by-day history will serve as the basis of any future exploration of Switzerland's former national carrier, from its founding right up to the grounding of the fleet and ultimate demise of the company. Documented here is every significant corporate decision, along with previously little-known background information, a comprehensive overview of operational incidents, the airline's route network over seven decades, the countries Swissair served and types of aircraft it operated. In short, this book covers everything that made the legendary airline distinctive, in unprecedented scope. This new standard reference work records in precise detail and in easily comprehensible English both the history of civil aviation in Switzerland and the qualities that Swissair deemed important over its 70 years in existence. Rather than judge or assign blame, this book sticks strictly to the facts and figures that reflect the dedication of Swissair employees - from those in the cockpit and the cabin to those in marketing and technical services, both at home and abroad - to "their" airline, from the very early days right up until the final flight by a Swissair aircraft. In the process, the book injects new life into one of the most exciting chapters in the history of Swiss commerce.

    Book SynopsisDe historische ruimtelijke planning rond de Leuvense Vaartkom vormt het uitgangspunt van deze studie met de nooit eerder gepubliceerde voorontwerpen, de oorspronkelijke loop van de Dijle en de ontwikkeling van de infrastructuur. De juiste situering van bewoners en bedrijven op basis van adressen, bevolkingsregisters en hernummeringslijsten was vaak niet mogelijk. Daarom werd gekozen voor een systematisch onderzoek van het kadasterarchief van alle percelen rond de Vaartkom en de Vaart tot Wijgmaal betreffende de 19de eeuw en de periode tot de Eerste Wereldoorlog. Dit geeft meteen een beter inzicht in de ontwikkeling van de bedrijven, we leren een aantal families of personen kennen die een belangrijke rol speelden bij de industrialisatie van de Leuvense Vaart en er komen verrassende verbanden op binnen- en buitenlands vlak tot uiting. Nuttige randinformatie werd ondergebracht in buitentekstkaders. Deel 2 bevat vele originele niet eerder gepubliceerde documenten en foto's. De Leuvense Vaart is in de eerste plaats een wegwijzer en een naslagwerk voor al wie de industriële geschiedenis van Leuven verder wil uitdiepen of interesse heeft voor industrieel erfgoed, architectuur, transporteconomie, historische geografie, ruimtelijke ordening, bedrijfsgeschiedenis en genealogie.

    Book SynopsisThe economic life of Thessaloniki and Macedonia in general is unfolded through stocks issued by limited companies during an important period of its history (1870-1940), which covered the final years of the Turkish occupation and saw the incorporation of the city and region into the modern Greek state. A total of 84 stock certificates are represented, most of them shares or company bonds, accompanied by details of the foundation and history of the issuing companies, the majority of which were based in Thessaloniki. The illustrations on the certificates are highly interesting. Their variety of subjects and colour harmony is particularly striking at the present day, when stock certificates have become immaterial and no longer have their traditional printed form. Slipcased; 212 illustrations, most in colour. Parallel text Greek and English.

    Book SynopsisThe rise of China is no doubt one of the most important events in world economic history since the Industrial Revolution. Mainstream economics, especially the institutional theory of economic development based on a dichotomy of extractive vs. inclusive political institutions, is highly inadequate in explaining China's rise. This book argues that only a radical reinterpretation of the history of the Industrial Revolution and the rise of the West (as incorrectly portrayed by the institutional theory) can fully explain China's growth miracle and why the determined rise of China is unstoppable despite its current 'backward' financial system and political institutions. Conversely, China's spectacular and rapid transformation from an impoverished agrarian society to a formidable industrial superpower sheds considerable light on the fundamental shortcomings of the institutional theory and mainstream 'blackboard' economic models, and provides more-accurate reevaluations of historical episodes such as Africa's enduring poverty trap despite radical political and economic reforms, Latin America's lost decades and frequent debt crises, 19th century Europe's great escape from the Malthusian trap, and the Industrial Revolution itself.

    NUS Press Workers and Democracy: The Indonesian Labour

    4 in stock

    Book SynopsisThis book is a study of workers activism and labour unions in the eight years between the recognition of Indonesian sovereignty by the Netherlands at the end of December 1949 and the nationalisation of Dutch assets in December 1957. It contributes to a re-evaluation of the era of liberal parliamentary democracy in Indonesia. The focus is on the agency of workers and the structures, strategies and industrial campaigns of unions in the context of intense ideological conflict, competing union federations, the opposition of employers to collective action and the efforts by the Indonesian state to manage industrial conflict. The imposition of martial law in March 1957 was the deathblow to parliamentary democracy and to the freedom of workers and unions to engage in collective action. It was not until Suharto's 'New Order' regime collapsed in 1998 that Indonesian workers regained the freedom of association and the right to engage incollective action.

    Book SynopsisThe familiar industrialisation of northern England and less familiar de-industrialisation of the south are shown to have depended on a common process. Neither rise nor decline resulted from differences in natural resource endowments, since they began before the use of coal and steam in manufacturing. Instead, political certainty, competitive ideology and Enlightenment optimism encouraged investment in transport and communications. This integrated the national market, intensifying competition between regions and altering economic distributions. Despite a dysfunctional landed system, agricultural innovation meant that the south's comparative advantage shifted towards the farm sector. Meanwhile its manufactures slowly declined. Once industry clustered in the less benign northern environment, technological changes in manufacturing accumulated there.This book portrays the Industrial Revolution as deriving from economic competition within unique political arrangements.Table of ContentsIntroduction:The View from Little England;; Deindustrialisation: Southern England:The Anomaly of the South;Scarce Resources?;Possible Explanations;Further Possibilities;Prosperity, Poverty & Bourgeois Values;Deindustrialisation and the Landed System;; Economic Change:Politics and Ideas;Transport and Marketing;The Pace of Change;; Industrialisation:North & South;; Guide to Further Reading;
