Household names, often with preserved archives, have had their company stories written by academics, journalists, and former senior employees. Broader national studies have analysed the role that big business has played in a country’s economic development. While sometimes this work has alleged oppressive anti-competitive behaviour, much has been written from a more positive perspective. Business historians, influenced by the pioneering work of Alfred Chandler, have implicated the ‘visible hand’ of large scale enterprise in national economic development particularly through their competitive strategies and modernised governance structures, which have facilitated innovation, the integration of national markets, and the growth of professional bureaucracies. While our understanding of the role of big business has been enriched by an aggregation of case studies, some writers have sought to study its impact through economy-wide lenses. This has typically involved constructing sets of the largest 100 or 200 companies at periodic benchmark years through the twentieth century, and then analysing their characteristics – such as their size, industrial location, growth strategies, and market share - and how they changed over time.

Merrett University of Melbourne Abstract Financial crises occurred in many countries in the early 1890s, most of which were connected to international capital flows. Australia, a major importer of capital, had difficulty borrowing after the Baring crisis. This paper argues that the consequences of the banking crash in early 1893 were shaped by local factors. A fortuitous legislative change averted a calamity by allowing for reconstruction rather than liquidation of banks; economic activity was depressed as banks became more conservative lenders; and the reconstructions reduced the wealth of domestic bank creditors and shareholders. We conclude by noting that there was no targeted policy response in the short or medium term to prevent a recurrence of such an event. The author would like to thank the referees for this journal, together with Bernard Attard, André Sammartino, John Waugh and the participants at the Financial Crises and Workouts: Historical Perspectives Workshop at the Australian National University on 5 September 2012 for their suggestions and advice. 1 Introduction Previous studies of the Australian bank crash of the 1890s have taken a local view of the episode within the context of a surge in and then cessation of British capital inflow.

  • Malcolm Pearse, 'Australia's Early Managers'

    Malcolm Pearse, 'Australia's Early Managers'

    AUSTRALIA’S EARLY MANAGERS Malcolm Pearse1 Macquarie University Abstract The origins of managers and management have been studied comprehensively in Great Britain, Europe and the United States of America, but not in Australia. Most scholars have looked at Australia’s history in the twentieth century to inform the literature on the modern enterprise, big business and management, but the role of the manager or agent was established in many businesses by the 1830s. There were salaried managers in Australia as early as 1799, appointed to oversee farms. The appointment of managers in Australia from as early as 1799 continued the practice of British institutions in some industries. But in other contexts, management practice departed from British practice, demonstrating largely adaptive, rather than repetitive features. As the wool industry dominated the economy, the range of industries grew and managers or agents were appointed to businesses such as public companies, which were formed from at least 1824. During the 1830s, there were managers of theatres, hotels, merchant houses, and in whaling, cattle, sheep, shipping and banking activities. As banking expanded during the 1830s and 1840s, so did the number of managers. Bank managers were appointed both with the entry of new banks and with branch expansion. As banks expanded their branch network, the number of managers increased. The establishment of branches continued another British institution in the colonial context and further reinforced the manager’s role. The rise of the salaried manager in Australia was harnessed to the rise of the public company and began as early as the 1840s but was more evident during the second half of the nineteenth century, when public companies grew bigger and prominent in strategically important industries such as grazing, sugar, water, engineering, electricity, banking, insurance and shipping, river and stage coach transport.

[Victoria Government Gazette No. G16 21 April 1994 p.1004] Statement of Significance: The former Colonial Bank, Bendigo was built in 1887 by N Longstaff and Co. to a design by architect WC Vahland. It became a branch of the National Bank in 1918 when the two banks amalgamated and was sold by the bank in 1993. The elaborate style of the building reflects the important position the bank held in the community and also demonstrates the prosperity of Bendigo, one of the major centres for gold-mining in the nineteenth century. The building has an important association with the colonial bank. Established in 1856, this institution was a particularly strong rural bank and was the first reputable bank in Australia to advocate amalgamation of the successful banks. Its merger with the National Bank in 1918 resulted in that bank becoming the third largest in Australia after the Bank of Australasia and the Union Bank of Australia.

    Kew Historical Society - Commerce and Industry series The National Bank of Australasia In 1977, the President of the Kew Historical Society received two historic ‘Signature Books’ from the Kew Branch of the National Bank of Australia. These Books were added to a number of other important documents held in the Historical Society’s collection. The National Bank of Australasia was formed in 1857. It Began commercial operations in Queen Street, MelBourne in 1858. Twenty-six years later, in 1885, the Bank’s first Bank at 87 High Street opened. A second Bank, on the corner of Walpole and Brougham Streets, designed By Inskip & RoBertson, replaced the first Bank in 1888. The second Bank remains, alBeit in a somewhat altered state. In May 2014, a presentation was made to students in Grade 2 at Kew Primary School. As part of the presentation, students were invited to identify the difference Between 19th Century (lower right) and contemporary photographs of the Bank. Students could detect that the original High Street frontage had Been truncated, the final Bays replaced and now occupied By a contemporary Commonwealth Bank Building. The ‘Signature Books’ of the National Bank of Australasia are two large Bound volumes covering the years 1885 to 1922. The first entries date from the opening of the first Bank in High Street in 1885 and were subsequently used in the second bank after 1888. They record a customer’s name, address, occupation if relevant, and signature. The first signatories included Edward Ball, Robert Blake, Helen Cooper, George Dike, AlBert Fenton, Thomas Foley, the Kew OmniBus Company, Francis Kellett, Maurice Neligan, Frederick Ratten, Ellen Shirwin, and William Woollard.
