Originally published in 1959, this book surveys the changes in the
social origins and career patterns of the leaders of two British
industries during the previous century. The biographies of about
1000 managing partners and executive directors from the hosiery
industry are pieced together from a variety of sources. Changes in
social origins and career patterns are analysed and comparisons
made between the leaders of these two very different industries in
an attempt to isolate the influence of industry's size and capital
requirements on management recruitment. Where possible, comparisons
are also made with various studies of American industrial leaders
and with other investigations of British industrialists. The book
attempts to provide an empirical basis for generalisations about
British industrial leadership during the century in which her role
in world manufacturing was transformed from that of
quasi-monopolist to one of competitor with many other countries.
