Download or read book Artisan Entrepreneurs in Cairo and Early Modern Capitalism 1600 1800 written by Nelly Hanna and published by Syracuse University Press. This book was released on 2011-06-16 with total page 257 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Little has been written about the economic history of Egypt prior to its incorporation into the European capitalist economy. While historians have mined archives and court documents to create a picture of the commercial activities, networks, and infrastructure of merchants during this time, few have documented a similar picture of the artisans and craftspeople. Artisans outnumbered merchants, and their economic weight was considerable, yet details about their lives, the way they carried out their work, and their role or position in the economy are largely unknown. Hanna seeks to redress this gap with Artisan Entrepreneurs in Cairo and Early Modern Capitalism (1600–1800) by locating and exploring the role of artisans in the historical process. Offering richly detailed portraits as well as an overview of the Ottoman Empire’s economic landscape, Hanna incorporates artisans into the historical development of the period, portraying them in the context of their work, their families, and their social relations. These artisans developed a variety of capitalist practices, both as individuals and collectively in their guilds. Responding to the demands of expanding commercial environments in Egypt and Europe, artisans found ways to adapt both production techniques and the organization of production. Hanna details the ways in which artisans defied the constraints of the guilds and actively engaged in the markets of Europe, demonstrating how Egyptian artisan production was able to compete and survive in a landscape of growing European trade. Deftly synthesizing a wide range of economic and historical theory, Hanna reinvigorates the current scholarship on early Ottoman history and provides a persuasive challenge to the largely shallow perception of artisans’ role in Egypt’s economy.
Download or read book Ingenious Machinists written by Anthony J. Connors and published by SUNY Press. This book was released on 2014-10-20 with total page 296 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Uses the stories of two inventors who took different paths to examine the early industrial revolution in New York and New England. Ingenious Machinists recounts the early development of industrialization in New England and New York through the lives of two prominent innovators whose work advanced the transformation to factory work and corporations, the rise of the middle class, and other momentous changes in nineteenth-century America. Paul Moody chose a secure path as a corporate engineer in the Waltham-Lowell system that both rewarded and constrained his career. David Wilkinson was a risk-taking entrepreneur from Rhode Island who went bankrupt and relocated to Cohoes, New York, where he was instrumental in that citys early industrial development. Anthony J. Connors writes not just a history of technological innovation and business development, but also two interwoven stories about these inventors. He shows the textile industry not in its decline, but in its days of great social and economic promise. It is a story of the social consequences of new technology and the risks and rewards of the exhilarating, but unsettling, early years of industrial capitalism. David Wilkinson and Paul Moody have long deserved full biographies. By comparing the careers of two notable figures and including a wealth of material about the people around them, Connors gives us a much more detailed, varied, and realistic image of life in industrial America than we have seen before. This is social, technological, business, and economic history at its best, all tied together in a compelling dual biography. The book will fascinate general readers with an interest in history or biography, but it will also appeal strongly to specialists in many fields. Patrick M. Malone, author of Waterpower in Lowell: Engineering and Industry in Nineteenth-Century America

This book was released on 2014-12-28 with total page 259 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle.

While the physical building type is the foundation of this comprehensive architectural study, Iarocci reaches beyond the analysis of the brick and mortar to reconsider how the ‘spaces of selling’ were culturally-produced spaces, as well as the product of interrelated economic, social, technological and aesthetic forces.

Download or read book Working Knowledge written by Catherine L. Fisk and published by Univ of North Carolina Press. This book was released on 2009-11-01 with total page 373 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Skilled workers of the early nineteenth century enjoyed a degree of professional independence because workplace knowledge and technical skill were their "property," or at least their attribute. In most sectors of today's economy, however, it is a foundational and widely accepted truth that businesses retain legal ownership of employee-generated intellectual property. In Working Knowledge, Catherine Fisk chronicles the legal and social transformations that led to the transfer of ownership of employee innovation from labor to management. This deeply contested development was won at the expense of workers' entrepreneurial independence and ultimately, Fisk argues, economic democracy. By reviewing judicial decisions and legal scholarship on all aspects of employee-generated intellectual property and combing the archives of major nineteenth-century intellectual property-producing companies--including DuPont, Rand McNally, and the American Tobacco Company--Fisk makes a highly technical area of law accessible to general readers while also addressing scholarly deficiencies in the histories of labor, intellectual property, and the business of technology.
Download or read book Managing Value Based Organizations written by Bruce Hoag and published by Edward Elgar Publishing. This book was released on 2006-01-01 with total page 317 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This is a well researched and thoroughly readable work. As well as giving a comprehensive and clear history of organisations and their evolving forms, it manages to explain the implications of this to practitioners today. In particular the entire discussion of the value based organisation and what this means for the exploitation of knowledge, organisational learning and innovation are relevant to younger, knowledge based organisations. The world of work has changed for ever in the increasingly knowledge based economy and the way we manage and lead has to change with it. This book provides a good insight to those that need to lead the change. Bill Parsons, ARM Holdings plc A fascinating look at why organisations are the way they are and how we can improve them. This well-written and accessible book offers intelligence, insight as well as practical advice. This is essential reading for organisational theorists as well as practitioners. Binna Kandola, Senior Partner, Pearn Kandola, UK Hoag & Cooper s work is an important addition to our understanding of organizations. I think this book will be of wide interest not only to the academic and consultative community but also business practitioners that want to better understand the organizations they operate in. I appreciate the historical and systemic context they have been able to provide for the reader. Its informative style make it a must read this year. Robert Kovach, RHR International Company, UK Academics and practitioners will find that this book presents a novel theoretical perspective. It illustrates that many features of current practice, contrary to many gurus, are consistent with the status quo that highly limits progress. For example, the authors describe what they call the myths of rightsizing, competitive advantage and balanced scorecard. The authors present extensive illustrations of how their value-based perspectives can lead to new policies and practices in managing organizations. Chris Argyris, Harvard Business School, US An insightful and enjoyable book. Bruce Hoag and Cary Cooper first provide a concise history of work, organizations and management highlighting what has changed over time and why. Then emphasizing the value-based organization an organization committed to delivering value to all of its stakeholders they tackle the so what providing practical advice for organizations, managers and employees. It will make you think. Ronald J. Burke, York University, Canada Managing Value-Based Organizations argues that those who fail to understand management history are destined to repeat it. Research has shown that despite the prodigious output of management books, managers still have little idea why there is so much change in the world of work or what they can do about it. Most, it seems, are still waiting for the dust to settle, expecting instead that in the near future they will be able to go back to doing things the way they have always done them. This highly innovative and accessible book takes a historical look at how the organization and management of work has changed since before the Industrial Revolution and uses this as a basis to explain: how and why organizations and management behavior have evolved over the past 500 years the importance of understanding how organizations are changing today and what they will become in the future what new organizations will look like and how managers will have to change to be effective in them, and how managers can change their organization from one which is locked in tradition to one which is flexible enough to respond positively to constant change. Revealing both the practicalities and theories behind surviving upheaval in the workplace, academics, business managers and HR managers alike will find this book to be a fascinating and invaluable read.

Download or read book The Urban Department Store in America 1850 930 written by Louisa Iarocci and published by Routledge. This book was released on 2017-07-05 with total page 258 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: In the late nineteenth century, the urban department store arose as a built artifact and as a social institution in the United States. While the physical building type is the foundation of this comprehensive architectural study, Louisa Iarocci reaches beyond the analysis of the bricks and mortar to reconsider how the ?spaces of selling? were culturally-produced spaces, as well as the product of interrelated economic, social, technological and aesthetic forces. The agenda of the book is three-fold; to address the lack of a comprehensive architectural study of the nineteenth century department store in the United States; to expand the analysis of the commercial city as a built and represented entity; and to continue recent scholarly efforts that seek to understand commercial space as a historically specific and a conceptually perceived construct. The Urban Department Store in America, 1850-1930 acts as a corrective to a current imbalance in the historiography of this retailing institution that tends to privilege its role as an autonomous ?modern? building type. Instead, Iarocci documents the development of the department store as an urban institution that grew out of the built space of the city and the lived spaces of its occupants.
Download or read book Entrepreneurship in Indonesia written by Vanessa Ratten and published by Routledge. This book was released on 2021-11-03 with total page 140 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Whilst other countries in Asia particularly China and India have been studied in terms of entrepreneurial endeavours, there is a lack of research on Indonesia despite it being amongst the fastest growing economies in the world. Indonesia is also one of the largest recipients of venture capital in Asia. This book looks at the growth of entrepreneurship in Indonesia from artisan and cultural endeavours to an increased awareness of digital and technology-based forms of entrepreneurship. The book examines the distinct cultural heritage of people in Indonesia towards entrepreneurial pursuits and analyses the role family and minority businesses play in the development of entrepreneurial capabilities. It stresses the need to focus on more categories of entrepreneurship in Indonesia such as artisan, tourism and sustainability in order to facilitate the growth of digital-based startups. This book will be amongst the first to explore how Indonesia is leaping ahead of competitors in its quest to be a dominant world power through its entrepreneurial pursuits.
