Why do organisations decline, and what happens when they do?
Strategy and Managed Decline: London Transport 1948-87 is a
historical case study looking at how London Transport, a world
beater in 1948, declined from being an international exemplar to
dilapidation in 30 years. Strategy and Managed Decline considers
the inheritance left by the founders of London Transport and
subjects their legacy to a strategic and political audit. In three
sections, the book examines archival data from the Transport for
London (TfL) Archive covering the car revolution, strategic
political clashes and the performance of the chairmen to challenge
existing theory and extant histories. It offers hypotheses situated
in management, leadership, politics and strategy which explain the
decades of deterioration followed by a dramatic revival in the late
1980s. Examining the turbulent politics of the long conflict
between London Transport, municipal and national government in
detail, Strategy and Managed Decline: London Transport 1948-87
offers novel interpretations of events by objectively analysing the
strategic stories that politics created about London's transport.
It concludes by asking whether a shift in managerial strategy away
from maximising utility and towards cost minimisation caused, or
was just coincident with, resurgence and explores what lessons
there are for TfL today.
