Conclusions -- Epilogue -- Appendices -- Index.This book reveals the business history of the Australian Government Clothing Factory as it introduced innovative changes in the production and design of the Australian Army uniform during the twentieth century. While adopting a Schumpeterian interpretation of the concept of innovation, Anneke van Mosseveld traces the driving forces behind innovation and delivers a comprehensive explanation of the resulting changes in the combat uniform. Using an array of archival sources, this book displays details of extensive collaborations between the factory, the Army and scientists in the development of camouflage patterns and military textiles. It uncovers a system of intellectual property management to protect the designs of the uniform, and delivers new insights into the wider economic influences and industry linkages of the Government owned factory.Islands of the Pacific—HistoryMilitary historyCivilization—HistoryEconomic historyHistory, ModernAustralasian Historyhttps://scigraph.springernature.com/ontologies/product-market-codes/716000History of Militaryhttps://scigraph.springernature.com/ontologies/product-market-codes/721000Cultural Historyhttps://scigraph.springernature.com/ontologies/product-market-codes/723000Economic Historyhttps://scigraph.springernature.com/ontologies/product-market-codes/W41000Modern Historyhttps://scigraph.springernature.com/ontologies/product-market-codes/713000Islands of the Pacific—History.Military history.Civilization—History.Economic history.History, Modern.Australasian History.History of Military.Cultural History.Economic History.Modern History.355.033094van Mosseveld Annekeauthttp://id.loc.gov/vocabulary/relators/aut1058731BOOK9910299801703321The Australian Army Uniform and the Government Clothing Factory2502071UNINA
