The Emergence of Managerial Capitalism in Europe
Keywords:
Capitalism, Managerial, Europe, the visible handAbstract
The present paper aims at analyzing whether and to what extent Chandler’s "Visible Hand" appeared and controlled the industrial development of Europe. It is the outcome of a study of the history of five firms, vis-à-vis., Marks & Spencer, Pasolds (Ladybird), Charles Early & Marriot (Witney) Ltd., Krupps and Volkswagen. After briefly reviewing each firm’s progress, we try to trace the emergence of the managerial class as distinct from the owners and see to what extent they had a hand in the development of each firm.
