About Journal

Enterprise & Society offers a forum for research on the historical relations between businesses and their larger political, institutional, social, and economic contexts. The journal aims to be international in scope. Creative studies focused on individual firms and industries and grounded in a broad historical framework are welcome, as are innovative applications of economic or management theories to business history and its contexts. Quantitative work couched in terms accessible to non-cliometricians will also be welcome. Enterprise & Society encourages submissions of business history studies that arise from collateral social scientific and humanities disciplines and from national and comparative perspectives.
