This authoritative volume focuses on the rise of modern firms, from
their early history to the present day. It considers the role of
laws and contracts in shaping the growth and influence of business
enterprises. It presents entrepreneurs, executives and the firms
they controlled as driving actors in national economies and
international growth. Alongside an original introduction the
editors have selected work by scholars who have used corporate
archives to explore the fine details of how firms actually
operated. It also includes work by those who have been influenced
by evolutionary, transaction-cost and resource-based theories of
the firm. The book will be an essential source of reference for
economic historians as well as industrial economists.
