Business History, 1998, vol. 40, issue 2, 22-44

Abstract: The relationships between business and public policy are examined in terms of the commercial vehicle industry during the post-war British export drive. The issues of planning and control are considered from the perspective of the varying priorities of government departments. The immediate and longer term effects of policy on sales, marketing arrangements and production strategies are examined at the level of the firm and industry associations. Commercial vehicles provide a counterpoint to studies of the motor car sector and an indication of elements of continuity in business strategies.
