Özet
:
This is the dramatic story of the rise and fall of a great British company, Courtaulds. It describes the upheavals that a company goes through when one of its core businesses is threatened with extinction in the face of globalization, and assesses why some companies found a way through the crisis and continue to exist, while Courtaulds did not.
