Rezensionen

"This collection is an excellent starting point for understanding the field and finding areas where business history, management theory, and social science can intersect." Canadian Business History Newsletter, January 2019

The contributions to this collection provide concise and insightful overviews of the development, current state and future research directions of key aspects of the field of business history. Taken together, they capture the methodological, thematic and geographic diversity of a vibrant scholarly discipline with roots in and links to the broader fields of history, economics, management studies and sociology.

Ray Stokes, Professor of Business History, University of Glasgow, Director, Centre for Business History in Scotland, Executive Editor, Business History

Adventurously eclectic, authoritative and thought-provoking, this new handbook, organised in geographic and thematic chapters, is freshly up-to-date. It will be valued by specialist business historians wanting to catch up on missed recent work in related areas and social scientists aiming to deepen their researches by adding a business historical dimension.

Leslie Hannah, Visiting Professor, London School of Economics.
