Aim and scope

Business History @ Erasmus brings together Business researchers with an interest in the history of business. “Business historians study the historical evolution of business systems, entrepreneurs and firms, as well as their interaction with their political, economic and social environment (Jones and Zeitlin, 2007)". As such, business history research is multidisciplinary by nature and active researchers in this field are scattered over different disciplines. The goal of this platform is to unite researchers from the schools of History, Culture & Communication, Business, Economics, Social Sciences and Law in their endeavors to improve our academic knowledge in the field of business history and to incorporate insights from this field in teaching programmes.
