GN Store Nord

GN Store Nord - a Company in Transition, 1939-1989 concerns the governance of GN Store Nord in the eventful period when C.F. Tietgens old telegraph company became an industrial conglomerate with interests in several industries, technologies and markets. This book unveils and analyses crucial decisions and key-actors which sustained this process. The work is based on an exceptional access to all GN Store Nord's board minutes, managers' reports and important correspondences. The target audience is not limited to readers with a particular interest in GN Store Nord's development, as the company accomplished an almost archetypical strategic and structural journey in the post-war years from one to multi-businesses and from a simple organisation to multi-divisional structure. Also the new dynamic theoretical framework for analysis of changing corporate governance systems will find general interest within the academic fields of economy, business history and strategy.
