Excerpt from Structural Effects of Communication Technologies on Firms: Lessons From the Past
The argument for an indirect influence, derived from Alfred Chandler's work,2 has three intermediate steps. The railroad and the telegraph together, he argues, expanded the market a given firm could reach and adequately serve by radically speeding up both communication and transportation. Cities once considered too distant to serve suddenly became accessible. This widening of potential markets encouraged firms to increase production.

Paperback. Zustand: New. Print on Demand. This book examines the long-term impact of communication technologies on businesses, arguing that such changes are not isolated events, but rather occur alongside other shifts in industry and society. The author draws from a rich historical period, the late 19th century, to demonstrate how the telegraph, the telephone, and changes in duplicating and filing systems revolutionized the way companies operated. The book delves into the structural effects of these technologies on the overall organization of firms, the flow of information within them, and the nature of managerial and clerical jobs. By analyzing the adoption and impact of each new technology, the author illustrates how ease of use, cost of operation, and the advantages of direct use by executives all contributed to the specific ways in which technologies were implemented. Through these historical case studies, the author offers insights into how communication technologies shape business practices, shedding light on the complexities of technological change and its enduring consequences for the world of work. This book is a reproduction of an important historical work, digitally reconstructed using state-of-the-art technology to preserve the original format.
