Shipbuilding in the United Kingdom: A History of the British Shipbuilders Corporation

.\nShipbuilding in the United Kingdom provides a systematic historical account of the British Shipbuilders Corporation, first looking at this major industry under private enterprise, then under state control, and finally back in private hands. The chapters trace the evolution of public policy regarding shipbuilding, ship repair, and large marine engine building through the tenures of radically different Labour and Conservative governments, and through the response of the board of the British Shipbuilders Corporation, trade unions, and local management also. The book benefits from comprehensive archival research and interviews from the 1990s with leading players in the industry, as well as politicians, shipbuilders, trade union leaders, and senior civil servants. This authoritative monograph is a valuable resource for advanced students and researchers across the fields of business history, economic history, industrial history, labour history, maritime history, and British history.\nAdditional ISBNs\n9780367687021, 9781003138686, 9781000331844, 9781000331790Shipbuilding in the United Kingdom: A History of the British Shipbuilders Corporation 1st Edition is written by Hugh Murphy and published by Routledge.
