| dc.description.abstract | Using a variety of sources, largely from archives in Indonesia and the Netherlands, this thesis explores the management of the sugar industry in Java from the late nineteenth century until the mid-1930s. The study describes changes in relations between ownership and management; in management structures and relations; and in sources, training, conditions and promotional patterns of management personnel. It is argued that the evolution of the organisation and personnel of management of the Java sugar industry, locally strong but internationally weak, was part of the business of the peculiarly Dutch late colonial system. The study also questions some of the conventional assumptions about changes in that management and some Chandlerian assertions about changes in management of large-scale industries more generally. | en |
