Chronicles of British Business in Asia, 1850-1960 provides
descriptions of more than a hundred British firms which have had
company histories written about then activities in Asia. The years
chosen cover the high noon of the British empire as well as its
subsequent decline and the firms are shown as having to come to
terms with very different operating circumstances. The studies
range from banks to shipping firms and agency houses, from a
cotton-loom manufacturing company to rubber and tea plantation
concerns as well as mining firms. There are remarkable examples of
determined entrepreneurship in the face of almost unbelievable
adverse fortune. The volume supplies full bibliographical records
of all the available company histories.
