The book focuses on the historical evolution of firms and industry leaders and their strategies. Sheffield's experience is then related to current historical and economic debates about industrial structure, entrepreneurship, and UK decline. Sheffield is revealed (with some important qualifications) as a remarkably enduring and successful centre; and also a highly complex one, which cannot be fitted easily into present theories of mass production and entrepreneurial failure.
Keywords: Sheffield, industry leaders, business strategy, Sheffield industry, industrial structure, entrepreneurship, UK decline, mass production, entrepreneurial failure
