	Inventing the Electronic Century: The Epic Story of the Consumer Electronics and Computer Industries
		Chandler's evidence may surprise those who believe that the information economy is populated solely by blue-jeaned entrepreneurs, West Coast start-ups, and bold venture capitalists.
		And though Chandler acknowledges the importance of learning and path dependency, the ways in which these may allow fortunately placed firms to gain and exploit market power is of little concern to him.
		Chandler is convinced that firms which cultivate their historic skills come out on top, compared to those which try to buy their way into industries or engage in thoughtless mergers and acquisitions.

	Scale and Scope by Robert D Cuff (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-10-31)
		Alfred D. Chandler, Jr, with the Assistance of Takashi Hikino.
		Alfred D. Chandler, Jr, Isador Straus Professor of Business History, Emeritus, at the Harvard Business School, is the world's leading authority on the history of modern business enterprise.
		On the issue of patterns of growth, as on other topics, Chandler documents his generalizations with such profusion of historical detail and example that readers can approach Scale and Scope as something of a primer on the managerial strategies and structures of modern industrial capitalism in the first half of the twentieth century.

		Chandler was the first historian to argue the importance of strategy in the development, management, and success of the corporation.
		Chandler has had a large impact on management and on my work, though my work is not in the strategy discipline.
		Chandler's research inspired and provided the framework for my original research on the historical emergence of communication systems in late 19th century and early 20th century firms.

	Richard John BHR Essay for H-Business Forum
		Chandler readily conceded that the late-eighteenth-century British industrial revolution spurred demand for American agricultural staples such as cotton and wheat, and that the establishment of a strengthened central government under the Constitution of 1787 hastened the creation of a national economy.
		Chandler spent his formative years in an environment shaped by the American-centric world view that Lippmann described, and began his graduate education at precisely the moment when the United States was poised to take its place as a key player on the world stage.
		Chandler's work, as economic historian Paul Uselding observed, laid to rest Veblen's idea that the cultures of science and business were necessarily antithetical as well as the related idea that business objectives must invariably be opposed to the attainment of the material goals of society.

	Alfred Chandler on the Electronic Century — HBS Working Knowledge
		Alfred Chandler is the Isidor Straus Professor of Business History, Emeritus, at Harvard Business School.
		The third reason why Chandler took a new path derived from his decision to write as his dissertation a biography of his great-grandfather, Henry Varnum Poor.
		At the moment when the young Chandler discovered a trove of his great-grandfather's papers and decided to write an analytical biography based on the functions that Poor had performed, the course of business history took a decisive turn.

		Chandler was also involved in the activities of the Research Center in Entrepreneurial History that thrived at the Harvard Business School in the late 1940s and early 1950s.
		Chandler is linked to business history in much the same way that Frederick Jackson Turner led and mirrored the field of frontier history.
		In some intellectual circles, Chandler is now ranked with Adam Smith, Karl Marx, Max Weber, and John Maynard Keynes as an original thinker and a scholar whose contributions have shaped the work of subsequent cadres of researchers.

		Virtually every surviving chemical and pharmaceutical company mentioned in Chandler's discourse has made a commitment to "triple bottom line" performance--that is, economic, environmental, and social values--as part of their embracing sustainable business practices.

	BookRags: Alfred Du Pont Chandler, Jr. Biography
		Alfred Du Pont Chandler, Jr., was born in Guyencourt, Delaware, on September 15, 1918, the son of Alfred DuPont and Carol Remsay Chandler.
		Chandler served an apprenticeship as assistant editor of The Letters of Theodore Roosevelt under Elting M. Morison and John M. Blum from 1950 to 1953.
		The most fitting accolade is that of John Higham, who exempted Chandler from "the deadly blight" which had prevented other senior historians from doing their culminating work in the 1960s and 1970s.
