Tiivistelmä: | The paper explores cost-accounting methods employed by British shipowners during the period in which large-scale enterprise initially emerged in the industry. The findings reveal that shipowners employed what were by international standards relatively advanced techniques to control intra-unit operations. However, the unique characteristics of their systems, especially those governing inter-unit flows, were conditioned by network-based co-operative patterns of behaviour that arose within the merchant community. |
