Paperback / softback
Description
People throughout the world are now commemorating the centenary of the start of the First World War.
For historians of international business and finance, it is an opportunity to reflect on the impact of the war on global business activity.
The world economy was highly integrated in the early twentieth century thanks to nearly a century of globalisation.
In 1913, the economies of the countries that were about to go war seemed inextricably linked.
The Impact of the First World War on International Business explores what happened to international business organisations when this integrated global economy was shattered by the outbreak of a major war.
Studying how companies responded to the economic catastrophe of the First World War offers important lessons to policymakers and businesspeople in the present, concerning for instance the impact of great power politics on international business or the thesis that globalization reduces the likelihood of inter-state warfare.
This is the first book to focus on the impact of the First World War on international business.
