This book addresses the evolution of the strategies, structures,
ownership patterns and performances of large European corporations
since the early 1960s. The authors study large and small countries,
in order to understand how the process of economic integration has
affected the patterns of growth and the structural characteristics
of the largest firms. Drawing both on extensive databases and on
case studies, the contributions in this volume address the peculiar
specificities of large firms in different national contexts,
adopting a longitudinal, long term perspective. This volume
delivers the first results of an international, collective research
effort undertaken by several national teams. The 'Mapping Corporate
Europe' project aims to provide a detailed account of the
structural traits of the European Corporation in a framework which
includes (i) a chronological analysis over 50 years, starting with
the Rome treaty in 1957; (ii) geographical extension beyond
previous analyses for France, Germany and the UK, by including
smaller countries; (iii) firms from other industries in addition to
manufacturing companies; and (iv) attention to internationalisation
of European firms. These analyses form the basis of a rich
description of the developments of large European corporations over
the past five decades, using both qualitative and quantitative
approaches. This book was originally published as a special issue
of Business History.
The Routledge Companion to Business History is a definitive work of
reference, and authoritative, international source on business
history. Compiled by leading scholars in the field, it offers both
researchers and students an introduction and overview of current
scholarship in this expanding discipline. Drawing on a wealth of
international contributions, this volume expands the field and
explores how business history interacts theoretically and
methodologically with other fields. It charts the origins and
development of business history and its global reach from Latin
America and Africa, to North America and Europe. With this
multi-perspective approach, it illustrates the unique contribution
of business history and its relationship with a range of other
disciplines, from finance and banking to gender issues in
corporations. The Routledge Companion to Business History is a
vital source of reference for students and researchers in the
fields of business history, corporate governance and business
ethics. "This collection is an excellent starting point for
understanding the field and finding areas where business history,
management theory, and social science can intersect." Canadian
