Steel City Entrepreneurship, Strategy, and Technology in Sheffield 1743-1993

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.Tweedale, Geoffrey is the author of 'Steel City Entrepreneurship, Strategy, and Technology in Sheffield 1743-1993', published 1995 under ISBN 9780198288664 and ISBN 0198288662.
