Studies in Business History

---

Business history is a vibrant and diverse area of study that provides researchers, public policymakers, business strategists and consultants with profound and powerful insights into past business conditions and practices. Reflecting the diversity and importance of the field, this series offers a platform for studies that examine particular industries or business-related entities such as non-financial public and private corporations, joint-stock companies, partnerships and regulatory agencies. Also covered are historical examinations of specific business functions such as accounting, corporate finance, governance and management. Works published in the series use a wide range of different approaches to business history and are based on primary research while also addressing the wider literature and debates.
