This book reveals the business history of the Australian Government
Clothing Factory as it introduced innovative changes in the
production and design of the Australian Army uniform during the
twentieth century. While adopting a Schumpeterian interpretation of
the concept of innovation, Anneke van Mosseveld traces the driving
forces behind innovation and delivers a comprehensive explanation
of the resulting changes in the combat uniform. Using an array of
archival sources, this book displays details of extensive
collaborations between the factory, the Army and scientists in the
development of camouflage patterns and military textiles. It
uncovers a system of intellectual property management to protect
the designs of the uniform, and delivers new insights into the
wider economic influences and industry linkages of the Government
owned factory.
