Samenvatting
The history of ICL is virtually synonymous with the history of the British computer industry. The company was formed by a series of mergers in response to the increasing market dominance of the large American corporations, particularly IBM. Based on exclusive access to company archives and personnel, this account traces the business, product, and research strategies and government policies that have enabled ICL to compete effectively in this US-dominated industry for the past 75 years.
