Bristol Business and Industry by Lynda J. Russell Pdf

Bristol was incorporated in 1785 and quickly became recognized as a clock-manufacturing center and home of the E. Ingraham Company's "dollar watch." The town grew with the many immigrant workers who arrived to work for local knitting mills, spring companies, and brass manufacturers. By the 1890s, the strong growth of the town brought an influx of people with different skills who established the Bristol Press, banks, local neighborhood shops and markets, and service industries. In 1920, Bristol Nurseries created new varieties of chrysanthemums that eventually made Bristol known as the "Mum City." Redevelopment in the 1960s brought the new Bristol Plaza and changes on Farmington Avenue. In 1979, ESPN started its first broadcast in its new home on Middle Street. With the completion of the new Route 72, Bristol will today continue to offer new opportunities for business and industry to grow.

Studies in the Business History of Bristol by Charles Harvey,Jon Press Pdf

Klappentext: Recent years have seen the coming of age of regional studies, historical and social scientific. The general result has been a deepening in our understanding of the processes of economic and social change. Studies in the Business History of Bristol is the outcome of increased scholarly concern with local variations in experience as well as general phenomena; in this case with a business community and industries which hitherto have been neglected. For whilst maritime and Georgian Bristol have received a good deal of attention from historians, much less is known about the very substantial expansion of the city in the nineteenth and twentieth centuries. With one or two notable exceptions, there has been little research on the businessmen and enterprises whose activities have sustained the regional economy in more recent times. Charles Harvey and Jon Press survey the industrial and economic development of Bristol since 1800 in a wide?ranging introductory chapter which sets the scene for the more detailed studies which follow. Several of these concentrate on the affairs of leading Bristol enterprises, such as Frys, Georges, and Brittons, and examine the factors and personalities which made for their success. Other chapters cover entire industries over long periods, laying the foundations for a much needed economic history of the Bristol region. All the chapters are based upon extensive original research, and cover subjects which, despite their obvious importance, have been largely ignored until now. The text is enlivened through the inclusion of more than forty illustrations, many of which are published for the first time.

Partnership and Leadership by T. de Bruijn,Arnold Tukker Pdf

Sustainable development has become a central perspective in environmental strategies around the world. It is clear that neither governments nor businesses have the capability to bring about sustainability on their own. Therefore, collaboration has emerged as a central concept. At the same time it is obvious that someone has to take the lead in the development towards sustainability. This book focuses on different forms of collaboration emerging between various actors. The objective of the book is to more systematically explore the different roles and relationships between partnership and leadership. Basically, both partnership and leadership can be seen in a positive and negative way: for example, as far as partnership is concerned, we can assume that the path towards sustainability can be paved by parties coming together, taking some initiative collaborating. On the opposite, partnership and consensus-based decisions can be seen as an obstacle to foster radical changes in production and consumption patterns. Similarly, leadership can be seen as an obstacle to sustainable development if leaders form close circles and are not willing to share experiences with other actors; but leadership could also be considered as an important element to keep concepts and practices forward. The book holds this double perspective: explaining, mapping and analyzing different goals/formats/methods of more and less collaborative approaches, but at the same time taking a critical approach to the theme by understanding related risks, effects, prospects and corrective actions. Next to a conceptual part, the book brings together case-studies from around the world. The focus is in describing and understanding various formats of collaboration and critically evaluating its effects and prospects. A concluding chapter discusses the role of partnership and leadership in realizing various levels of environmental innovations: optimization and re-design, that usually affect only a small part of the production/consumption structure, and much more complicated, radical innovations that have to deal with societal (sub)systems. The book is in part an edited version of selected papers presented during the 1998 Greening of Industry Conference in Rome on the subject, enriched with contributions of other invited authors.

Corporate power and social policy in a global economy by Farnsworth, Kevin Pdf

Spanning the complete era of the Conservative governments and the first term of New Labour, this book looks at mechanisms of corporate power and influence; corporate opinion and influence in a range of social policy areas including: education, training, health and social security; changing business influence on social policy in recent years in an international context and business involvement in social policy initiatives and welfare delivery. By exploring business views and opinions, power, influence and involvement in social provision, this book helps to address important questions in social policy and, in so doing, goes some way towards closing a gaping hole in the current literature. The book's breadth and multidisciplinary approach will appeal not only to students of social policy, but also to students of business, public sector management and politics, their teachers and policy makers in the field.

The History of Metals in America chronicles the development of metals as both an industrial activity and a science. Progress involving structural metals made possible the air, land, sea, and space travel of today, skyscrapers reaching over 100 stories high, and many other engineering accomplishments that continue to shape modern society.

It includes chapters on cast iron, wrought iron, alloy steels, tool steels, stainless steels, nickel-base superalloys, aluminum, and titanium.
