‘. . . this book shows the advantages of getting an economically-trained scholar to write a corporate history.’
– T.A.B. Corley, The Economic Journal
‘This volume is to be welcomed for widening the scope of recent research by business historians on the British pharmaceutical industry. . .’
– Sally M. Horrocks, Social History of Medicine
The health care industry is one of the few sectors in which Britain can claim a competitive advantage. Widely recognized as one of the most successful British manufacturing companies of the early 1990s, Smith & Nephew is the ideal example from which to isolate the sources of competitiveness.
Smith & Nephew, a Hull based firm, was founded in 1856 and later linked up with Lancashire’s cotton mills and the small workshops of Birmingham and London. During the 1980s Smith & Nephew grew from essentially a British company, with subsidiaries in Commonwealth countries and part ownership of some continental European firms, into a global health care business firmly established in Europe, North America and other key markets around the world. By the 1990s Smith & Nephew had become one of the select band of world class British manufacturing companies.
