Human Resource Management In The Days Of John Company: 1790-1850 – Sarmistha De

Description

Sarmistha De’s probing study of a rich body of archival material documenting the administrative and financial transactions of the British East India Company in India, opens up for the first time the internal politics of a colonial system engaged in handling foreign and local employees sharing the burden of trading and governing simultaneously in unequal and discriminatory relations; and building up in the process the dynamics and culture of a proto-state to be eventually emulated in Britain itself slightly later.
