Chronicles of British Business in Asia, 1850-1960
Synopsis
Chronicles of British Business in Asia, 1850-1960 provides descriptions of more than a hundred British firms which have had ‘company histories’ written about their activities in Asia. The years chosen cover the ‘high-noon’ of the British Empire as well as its subsequent decline and the firms are shown as having to come to terms with very different operating circumstances. The studies range from banks to shipping firms and agency houses; from a cotton-loom manufacturing company to rubber and tea plantation concerns as well as mining firms. There are remarkable examples of determined entrepreneurship in the face of almost unbelievable adverse fortune. The volume supplies full bibliographical records of all the available ‘company histories’.
