F. Swift, the leading meatpacking firm of the late nineteenth century, to reveal how communications revolutions in different periods enabled businesses to innovate their operations, reorganize the structure of the firm, and reshape the geography of profit-making. By depicting the parallel experiences of Dell and Swift, which both deployed revolutionary communications technologies in their business systems and transformed patterns of development through their innovative advances, the book challenges simplified representations of the contemporary economy as historically unprecedented. \u003ci\u003eTerritories of Profit\u003c\/i\u003e also incorporates information from interview sources within Dell to portray the \"Dell Model\" in ways never before revealed in existing studies of the PC maker. \u003c\/p\u003e\u003c\/font\u003e\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\r\n\r\n\r\n\r\n\r\n\r\n\r\n\u003c\/font\u003e","brand":"Stanford Business Books","offers":[{"title":"Brand New","offer_id":52548809883928,"sku":"9780804747226","price":25.77,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":true}],"url":"https:\/\/freshlyprintedbooks.co.uk\/products\/territories-of-profit-communications-capitalist-development-and-the-innovative-enterprises-of-g-f-swift-and-dell-computer-paperback-softback-9780804747226","provider":"Freshly Printed Books","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
