As organisations of all sizes become increasingly digitalised, a core management challenge remains unresolved.

This book provides a comprehensive overview of Robertson's life and work. Uncovering the sources of Robertson's inspiration and ideas and the all-important causal relationship between the man and his work, this fascinating account is a must-read for all interested in rediscovering this great economist.
This study examines the pioneering economic work by John Maynard Keynes, "The General Theory of Employment, Interest and Money", and attempts to explain, with constant reference to the original sources, the complexity of Keynes' theories and the critical response they evoked.
Fletcher (economics, The University of Liverpool, UK) explores the relationship between the life and work of a British economist, Sir Dennis Holme Robertson (1890-1963). Drawing on previously unpublished material, biographical and literary evidence, and a fresh reading of Robertson's principal books and essays, Fletcher argues that Robertsonian economics is influenced by Robertson the man, and shows that this is particularly the case with respect to the way in which Robertson's thought developed and to its particular characteristics. He offers a new account of Robertson's breach with his Cambridge colleague J. M. Keynes. Annotation copyrighted by Book News Inc., Portland, OR
