  • Title: The sources of innovation in the woollen and worsted industry of eighteenth-century Yorkshire.
    Author: Smail J.
    Journal: Bus Hist; 1999; 41(1):1-15. PubMed ID: 19459261.
    Abstract:
    This article examines the economic developments that induced producers to seek our innovations during a transformative period in the Yorkshire woollen industry. The analysis examines both the increase in the scale of the typical operation and the tremendous effect that fashion had on the industry. Particular attention is given to the ways in which the workings of real markets and product innovation focused entrepreneurial energy on the production process, and what that tells us about the origins of the Industrial Revolution.
