The McKeefrey family of Leetonia in partnership with Pittsburgh industrialists provided the impetus and initial financial backing for the proposed single-process sheet steel mill. Located in eastern Ohio, Leetonia’s once vibrant coal, coke, and iron industries were struggling to remain viable during the second decade of the twentieth century.

  • Industrial Leadership: a Hsitorical Analysis of Merchant Shipping
    I I I INDUSTRIAL LEADERSHIP: 1-· A mSTORICAL ANALYSIS OF MERCHANT SIDPPING GREG CLYDESDALE INDUSTRIAL LEADERSmp: A mSTORICAL ANALYSIS OF MERCHANT SHIPPING A Thesis Submitted in Fulfillment of the Requirements of the Degree of Doctor of Philosophy at Lincoln University by Greg Clydesdale February 2002 11 Abstract of a Thesis submitted in fulfillment of the requirements of the Degree of Doctor of Philosophy INDUSTRIAL LEADERSHIP: A mSTORICAL ANALYSIS OF MERCHANT SHIPPING Greg Clydesdale This thesis set out to explore the forces that determine the rise and fall of industrial leadership. It attempted to do this by applying an industry life cycle model to the ~hipping industry. The industrial life cycle was posited on the basis of existing literature, particularly the growth of knowledge, evolutionary and institutional literature, which lend themselves to patterns of industrial growth and entrapment. On this basis, this thesis set out to examine whether industrial leadership can be explained by a four-staged process of imitation, catch up, advance and entrapment. However, this thesis has exposed something more complicated. Processes of imitation, catch up advance and entrapment were shown to be at work in the shipping industly, but they were tempered by the effects of military and political forces that may not be exogenous, and the trend from regionalism to globalisation. The original model did not encompass early indigenous developments that are not based on imitation that do not immediately lead to a position of advanced leadership. In this light, a better description of the first stage would be capability building. Key Words: Evolutionary Economics, Economic History, Shipping, Maritime Industries, Instihltional Economics.

  • Hand Book of the United States Navy
    > 1 « •') PREFACE. In compiling tliis Hand Book it lias been tlie author's aim to give those interested in the naval history of the United States a well-arranged sketch of tlie doings of each vessel, v^ith the date of all important events connected with her individual history, thus enabling all to see at a glance what each has accomplished. In order to complete the record, which promised to be too voluminous for a w^ork of this kind, it became necessary to give the details of the engagements in which a squadron or a flotilla par- ticipated under the head of the place at which such action occurred, and to direct attention to the whole affair by means of reference notes ; and in this manner the indi- vidual record has been put into a form that will be found not only convenient for reference, but omitting many in- cidents which could be justly narrated only in connection with the whole occurrence. It is not within the limits of a brief prefatory notice of the plan of this work to write of the various difficulties encountered in preparing a vol- ume of this character. The majority of the dates and the narrative portions of it are compiled from the official re- ports of the [N'avy Department, the remainder having been taken from a very large and carefully selected mass of IV PREFACE. material in the possession of the author. The Hand Book has been prepared at the urgent request of a large number of distinguished naval officers, to many of wliom we are indebted for valuable assistance.
