Article Description

In the first section an attempt is made to characterize the actual phase of business history that every scholar who reflects on the state of the disciplinea's art would define as a'post-Chandleriana. Examining the major critiques to Chandlera's work, the author then proceeds to single out which teachings of the great Harvard researcher and scholar are still useful today. In part two the author assesses what seems to be the most promising fields for future research, identifying four topics: (a) the study of the new forms of organization brought about by the Third Industrial Revolution, (b) the historical perspective of globalization, (c) issues related to the relationship between enterprise, society and culture, and (d) entrepreneurship. In the third and final part, the author analyzes the complicated cultural plight of business history which needs to deal with three different and well-structured areas of studies (i.e., economics, managerial sciences, and history).
