This book series has two broad purposes. First, it seeks to determine whether there is a “universal” management model through an examination of circumstances in a number of different nations and industries. Second, it brings to a wider audience some of the leading research in the field of management history. In doing so, it will include works presented at the Management History Division of the Academy of Management and the Management History track at the European Academy of Management, which will help in fostering and disseminating new understandings of management and its development. The book series indicates that, while there has been much variance in managerial practices across time and space, we can nevertheless speak of a “universal” managerial model.

The book series “Management History: Global Perspectives” addresses, at a global level, the historical development of management and related areas (e.g., entrepreneurship, international business, marketing, retailing, strategy, accounting), concepts, theories, and practices as well as the application and evolution of historical research methods. The series will collect contributions related to management history research, and its methods, with a clear relationship to present-day debates in the management discipline. Two types of contributions are included. First, works that make historical assessments of the social consequences of management, reexaminations of established historical concepts, the historical development of management of present-day companies, and topics that draw on historical data that are firmly rooted in a historical perspective. Second, contributions able to discuss the ways of using historical materials, new directions in management historical research and oral history, and the importance of a historical and global perspective in management.
