Wealthmakers History of Northern Employers’ and Manufacturers’ Associations

Description

Wealthmakers by Selwyn ParkernnA History of the Northern Employers’ and Manufacturers’ AssociationsnnEmployers & Manufacturers Association (Northern) has a proud 119-year tradition as the voice of manufacturers, and 104 years as the ally of employers, in the north of New Zealand. In 1996 their respective associations merged to form the EMA (Northern). The mission adopted by EMA (Northern) was simple: ‘We are a membership organisation that promotes the success of business by seeking to create the most desirable environment for business, and adding value through representation, knowledge and support.’ Wealthmakers chronicles the events that helped create this re-invigorated focus on the growth of business, in particular by profiling the associations? larger-than-life leaders as they took action they deemed important to manage the challenges of the day. It is the story of how two associations guided the transformation of Auckland from a commercial backwater into this country’s dominant economic region.nnHardback, 2005, 368pages, very good condition
