Philips is the subject of a large-scale academic history.
Volumes include The history of NV Philips Gloeilampenfabrieken
(Vol 1: The origin of the Dutch Incandescent Lamp Industry,
to 1891) (Cambridge: Cambridge Uni Press 1986) and
The history of NV Philips Gloeilampenfabrieken (Vol
2: A Company of Many Parts, 1891 till 1918) (Cambridge:
Cambridge Uni Press 1988) by A. Heerding and The history
of Philips Electronics NV (Vol 3: The Development of N.V.
Philips Gloeilampenfabrieken into a major electrical group)
(Leiden: Martinus Nijhoff 1992) and The history of
Philips Electronics NV (Vol 4: Under German rule)
(Zaltbommel: European Library 1999) by I.J. Blanken.
Marcel Metze has produced two studies of Philips in crisis
- unfortunately not available in English. They are Kortsluiting
(Nijmegen: Uitgeverij Sun 1991) and Let's make things
better: Philips 1990-1997 (Nijmegen: Uitgeverij Sun
1997). For more recent activity insights are offered in
Sources of Industrial Leadership: Studies of Seven
Industries (Cambridge: Cambridge Uni Press 1999)
edited by David Mowery & Richard Nelson. Context is
provided by Alfred Chandler's outstanding Scale &
Scope: The Dynamics of Industrial Capitalism (Cambridge:
Harvard Uni Press 1999) and The International Computer
Software Industry: A Comparative Study of Industry Evolution
& Structure (Oxford: Oxford Uni Press 1995) edited
by David Mowery.
