The Structure of Industry in Britain: A Study in Economic Change

Professor Allen’s Study of the changing composition and organization British in first appear in the early sixties and rapidly established itself with the students of Business and economics, and with general readers a reliable introduction to the subject. Since the second edition of the was issues in 1966, the pace of change in the British industry has quickened. Structure, technology and management have all been affected by this acceleration. There have been innovations in government economic policy; the relations between the state and industry have been modified; and the new problems have arisen in labour organization and industrial relations. To take account of these developments Professor Allen has fully revised the text for this new edition, and, while preserving the original form of the book, has substantially increased its length. The statistical appendix has been brought up to date. A concise but comprehensive survey by the leading authority, The Structure of Industry in Britain will prove an invaluable companion to anyone seriously interested in in the British industrial economy of the seventies.
