Know about the book -

European Industrial Managers is written by J.J. Boddewyn and published by Routledge. It's available with International Standard Book Number or ISBN identification 1317218701 (ISBN 10) and 9781317218708 (ISBN 13).

First published in 1971, this collection of fourteen contemporaneous European research studies on managerial backgrounds and on the patterns, roles, and evolution of managerial careers examine managerial motivations in a broader context than the traditional analysis of psychological qualities. Most of the studies suggest or demonstrate the usefulness of a typology of industrial leaders — whether constructed from individual characteristics, the characteristics of the firm or the characteristics of the economy as a whole — that avoids isolating industrial executives from outside factors. This book will be of interest to students of business, sociology and industrial history.
