On April 12, 2012, the York Management School hosts a conference on the "New Business History," organized by Abe de Jong (Rotterdam School of Management) and
David Higgins (University of York). The conference explores new
approaches to business history. The full program is now available here (pdf file). In addition to papers presenting current research in business history, several theoretical papers will be offered: " 'New Business History'? Justification for new approaches," by David Higgins, Abe de Jong, and Hugo van Driel; "New directions and traditional trajectories in business history: an assessment of trends, methods and potentialities," by Peter Wardley; and "In Defense of Business History," by Ben Wubs. Sessions will be preceded by an opening dinner on Wednesday evening. For additional information, please contact David Higgins or Abe de Jong.
Dear subscribers to The Exchange: I am happy to announce that our blog is moving platforms. For almost a decade, the Business History Conference has used Blogger to publish and archive posts. However, in early 2021, the blogging site announced that their email serving service would be terminated. In addition, we noticed that many of our subscribers had stopped receiving the blog’s emails, and our subscription provides very limited reporting. In agreement, the Electronic Media Oversight Committee , web administrator Shane Hamilton, and web editor Paula de la Cruz-Fernández decided to move our web blog from Blogger to our website . We now write to you to request that if you wish to continue receiving announcements from the BHC, please subscribe here: https://thebhc.org/subscribe-exchange Interested people will be asked to log into their BHC’s account or open one, free. If you have questions, please email The Business History Conference <web-admin [at] thebhc.org>...
