Why don't you give exact delivery time?
Delivery time is estimated on our previous experiences. We give estimations only, because we order from outside Hungary, and the delivery time mainly depends on how quickly the publisher supplies the book. Faster or slower deliveries both happen, but we do our best to supply as quickly as possible.

Short description:
Why has British steelmaking declined? This, the first single-volume study of Sheffield steel, cutlery, and tools, charts the history of Sheffield steel from its origins in the 1740s to 1993, when it was no longer the major employer in the region. Drawing upon company records, contemporary documentation, and interviews with many businessmen and technologists, it provides an indispensable chronology and also relates business strategies to current debates about entrepreneurship and UK decline.
MoreLong description:
The book focuses on the historical evolution of firms, and industry leaders and their strategies. Sheffield's experience is then related to current historical and economic debates about industrial structure, entrepreneurship and UK decline. Sheffield is revealed (with some important qualifications) as a remarkably enduring and successful centre; and also a highly complex one, which cannot be fitted easily into present theories of mass production and entrepreneurial failure.
This is a carefully researched and sympathetic study of an industrial district, its institutions and firms through growth, expansion, and, more recently, painful adjustment and change ... The book will be of interest in terms of business economics and history and for those wanting to understand the historical nature of industrial clusters and competitive advantage.
