Notes:
Deals with British industrial decline focusing on the coal extraction industry in 1920s and 30s, identifying poor entrepreneurship as a major factor in the decline of the industry albeit based on an analysis of a small sample of coal companies. The latter are Ashington Coal Co Ltd, Throckley Coal Co Ltd, Henry Briggs, Son & Co Ltd, and Waterloo Main Colliery Co Ltd. See also the writer's doctoral thesis 'Managing Industrial Decline. Four British colliery companies between the wars', Columbia, 1985
