Description

Businesses large and small have always been an integral part of Alberta's identity and growth. Exploring the evolution of business growth in Alberta, this comprehensive and unique study examines the role businesses have played in the economic, political and social development of the province.

Henry C. Klassen offers an unprecedented look at the birth of business firms, and the subsequent effects these had upon broader political and cultural matters in Alberta. Grounded solidly in analysis and case studies, A Business History of Alberta offers insights and conclusions about the impact of management structure and communications in the business world.
