Firms, networks and business values : The British and American Cotton Industries since 1750, was published in 2000 by Cambridge University Press. In collaboration with Dr. Andrea Colli (Bocconi University, Milan, Italy) and Dr Paloma Fernadez Perez (University of Barcelona) she has explored international differences in the behaviour and capabilities of family firms in Britain, Italy and Spain. Her most recent collaborative work is with businessman Mike Parsons. Invisible on Everest: Innovation and the Gear Makers which was published in 2003. This book traces the evolution of clothing and equipment for outdoor activities, from the middle of the nineteenth century to the present day. Ours is an unusual collaboration of the active businessman and academic business historian and is based on an intensive dialogue over a 6 year period. Since the publication of this book Mike has been working on building his new business, OMM Ltd – in part inspired by a reawakening of his enthusiasm as an innovative designer by the book. Alongside this they have developed a highly successful course in innovation and an annual conference, Innovation for Extremes. This is destined to become the basis of a network for the outdoor trade. Mary and Mike have also successfully completed a Heritage Lottery Fund project on behalf of Mountain Heritage Trust to replicate the Mallory 1924 clothing. The replicas were tested on Everest by Graham Hoyland, in April 2006. In addition they have been spinning off academic articles from their outdoor trade work, exploring more general ways of linking theories of entrepreneurship, innovation and networks and the role of path dependency in design.
