This examination of the Company's management focuses its place in the history of the expansion of Europe, and more particularly, on the management of long-distance trade as one aspect of that expansion. Central to this analysis are the objectives of the company, the way it maximized opportunities and minimized risk and uncertainty, the organization of its affairs to coordinate the barter trade in North America and the London fur market, and their influence on the long-term survival of the Company.
