Anotace knihy

The Scottish diaspora of the 18th and 19th centuries saw large numbers of Scots emigrating to seek their fortunes around the world. Better educated than the English and with a strong Presbyterian ethic, they were unusually successful in business and politics. In New Zealand, Ross & Glendining Ltd (R&G) was founded in Dunedin in 1862, during the gold rush, by two contrasting Scottish characters - Caithness-born John Ross and Robert Glendining of Dumfries. Initially a drapery importing business, R&G opened branches throughout New Zealand. Careful management and efficient systems enabled the business to grow, despite strong competition from Australia. After the investment boom of the 70s, R&G began to diversify, investing in sheep runs, a woollen mill, other manufacturing, and even a coal mine. This history offers not only a portrait of a firm, but a window on the development of the New Zealand economy and the emergence of a manufacturing sector.
