The theme of the 2002 annual meeting of the Business History Conference
will be "Corporate Governance." We invite proposals for papers concerned
with the historical evolution of corporate governance in all of its forms,
including but not limited to:
entrepreneurial and managerial styles and
innovations the historical construction of norms and formal rules of
governance relationships between governance systems and corporate
strategies and structures the ideological and political dimensions of
governance regimes
Submissions are invited on all chronological periods,
and those on non-traditional and non-U.S. forms of corporate governance are
especially encouraged. Submissions on topics beyond the theme are welcome
as well.
Proposals may be submitted for individual papers or for entire
panels. Each proposal should include a one-page abstract and one-page
curriculum vitae or resumes for each participant. Panel proposals also
should have a cover letter containing a title, a one-paragraph panel
description, suggestions for a chair and commentator, and contact
information for the panel organizer.
Graduate students in the early stages of writing dissertations may apply
for inclusion in designated workshops intended to discuss preliminary
conclusions and methodologies in an informed but informal
environment. Interested students should submit a one-page abstract of
their project and a one-page vita. These proposals should indicate they are
intended for the Dissertations in Progress sessions.
Dissertations completed in the previous three years (1999-2001) are
eligible for the conference's dissertation session. Proposals are welcome
from Ph.D recipients in history, business administration, history of
science and technology, economics, legal studies, and other fields whose
work is on business history broadly defined. Presentations made at this
session will be published in Enterprise & Society, the BHC journal. One
dissertation will receive the Herman E. Krooss Prize for the best
dissertation in business history, which includes a $500 award. Proposals
should consist of a cover letter, the dissertation abstract, and the
author's c.v., and indicate they are intended for the Krooss Prize
Dissertation Session.
