The social history of business leaders has always been considered as an essential ingredient in the understanding of business performance. It has nevertheless remained comparatively neglected by scholars.

‘There can be no doubt that this must be a very useful compilation for any institution of higher education that has not kept up with the leading journal and best literature or would like to have duplicates for student use.’
