Scope and content
A typed speech as part of the Sir Robert Webster Lecture series started by the Textile Institute in 1979. The author is unknown, and no information could be found in regard to the 1980 presentation. The speech mentions Amalgamated Textiles, Macquarie Worsteds, and the wool mills at Orange and Albury, as an example of how good management decisions played a part in the company continuing to thrive after many competitors had closed down. The rest of the speech focuses on how management affects industry and economic growth in general. On the last page are "BPB/LKS", possibly initials, and the date "14/11/80".
