The Recruitment of Directors to the Board of the Great Western Railway, II
Part II analyses the social composition of the board over time. It locates the membership within the structure of contemporary business elites, in particular identifying the extent to which interlocking directorships connected the GWR with other businesses, both inside and outside the railway industry. Matters of wider concern are touched upon, such as the origins and formation of business elites, the social exclusivity of the board, and the role…
The Recruitment of Directors to the Board of the Great Western Railway, I
Railway Pooling in Britain before 1900: The Anglo-Scottish Traffic
In this study of a neglected topic, Dr. Channon examines the attempts of British railway leaders to regulate competition among routes. Drawing illustrative material from the management of Anglo-Scottish traffic and making comparisons with the American railroad industry, Dr. Channon concludes that pooling agreements did not provide the long-term stability and savings that railway managers sought. Changes in traffic patterns led to dissatisfaction …

The Great Western Railway Under the British Railways Act of 1921
American railroad executives since the end of World War II have learned — the hard way, as usual — how little real salvation there is in the expedient of the massive merger. They might have studied to good purpose the experiences of the English railways, which were forced to consolidate into four great systems under legislation passed in 1921. Dr. Channon has done so, and tells a dreary story that scouts the idea that great cost savings flow all …
Guidelines for Article Preparation
In the course of our work we often assume that we know a high proportion of what there is to be known, that we are aware of all pertinent current developments, that our individual knowledge is “common knowledge”, and that in view of this situation, the time and effort that putting pen to paper requires is not justified in terms of the perceived limited gains
Values and Professional Social Work: A Field Study
The field study reported in this article focuses on the value component of social work practice and represents one section of a much broader study of social work professionalization. Professionalization is a complex process which is inextricably linked to the cultural norms, social structures, political form, stage of economic development, and stage of technological development of the society in which it takes place
Values and Professional Social Work: Some Comments on the Literature
Social workers have a moral and professional responsibility to be able to state publicly their bases for professional action. The deliberate selection of values is becoming an increasingly important issue in most forms of interpersonal and organizational behaviour. In view of this, it is essential that social workers be aware of the critical nature of values in social work practice
