8 viii Acknowledgements Undertaking research is never done without the help of others. I would therefore like to thank particularly Bimal Prodhan for many helpful comments and suggestions which have significantly improved this study. I am also very grateful to Ian Kessler and Keith Blois as well as Jacques Girin and Alain Jeunemaitre of the Centre de Recherche en Gestion at Ecole Polytechnique in Paris for hosting me as a visiting scholar and following my research with much interest. Finally, I would like to express my thanks to my editor at Macmillan, Giovanna Davitti, for her comments and assisitance which ensured the successful completion of this book. As part of the study, a range of personal interviews with firm officials was undertaken. These interviews informed both the general sections as well as forming the basis for the case studies. I am therefore very grateful to all those individuals who took the time to participate in the interviews and were helpful in the collection of data and information.
