Overview

This book examines the decline of the once great British shipbuilding industry in the twentieth century. Drawing on recent developments in behavioral economics and industrial sociology, the author argues that the decline can be explained by British management's uncertainty over the need for reform of management methods following the Second World War, and the lack of trust between labor and management.
