WilsonManchester, [Michigan] :Manchester University Press,2013.©20131 online resource (308 pages) illustrations0-7190-8839-9 Includes bibliographical references and index.This history of Ferranti during the last six years of its long existence provides a detailed exposition of the merger with an American firm that would bring it to its knees. Although only covering six years, this builds on the previous two volumes of the Ferranti history that has outlined how the firm grew into one of the UK's leading defence electronics operations. Having survived a major liquidity crisis in 1974-75, Ferranti recovered robustly under new management, only to flounder under the same leadership as a result of a major foray into the American defence electronics industry. The case-study outlines the inherent dangers in international mergers, as well as the acute problems associated with City and corporate governance practices which resulted in decisions that undermined Ferranti fatally.Electrical engineeringGreat BritainHistoryElectronic books.Electrical engineeringHistory.338.7620941Wilson John F.309776MiAaPQMiAaPQMiAaPQBOOK9910466817603321Ferranti2484518UNINA00891nam0 22002531i 450 UON0013495520231205102816.60020020107d1896 |0itac50 baengMY|||| 1||||Account of dyes and dyeing in BurmaRangoonSupdt189617 p.23 cmEconomiaBirmaniaUONC009685FIMMRangoonUONL001127SEA XIISUDEST ASIATICO - ECONOMIAASupdtUONV263182650ITSOL20250704RICASIBA - SISTEMA BIBLIOTECARIO DI ATENEOUONSIUON00134955SIBA - SISTEMA BIBLIOTECARIO DI ATENEOSI MISC SEA XII 006 SI MR 35790 7 006 Account of dyes and dyeing in Burma1314345UNIOR
