Notes:

Deals with the management strategies of the company regarding its very large London warehouse staff, embracing both discipline and reward, in order to provide efficient services. Includes a redundancy payments scheme devised in the early 1830s on the run-down of its operations. See the writer's doctoral thesis, 'Business and Benevolence. The East India Company's management of its London warehouse labourers, 1800-1858', Leicester, 2007
