Description: Studies of the Industrial Revolution often ignore the problems of the management of large works - these were new, since earlier examples of controlling large numbers of men, such as armies of the builders of the pyramids, did not have to show a profit. The main problems are seen to have occurred in the management of labour and in the construction of accounts which would help arrive at correct decisions.
