Aims and Scope of the Journal

Enterprise & Society offers a forum for research on the historical relations between businesses and their larger political, institutional, social, and economic contexts. The journal aims to be international in scope. Creative studies focused on individual firms and industries and grounded in a broad historical framework are welcome, as are innovative applications of economic or management theories to business history and its contexts. Quantitative work couched in terms accessible to non-cliometricians will also be welcome. Enterprise & Society encourages submissions of business history studies that arise from collateral social scientific and humanities disciplines and from national and comparative perspectives.

Guidelines to Authors for Article Submissions

Enterprise & Society has moved to an all-electronic process of receiving, refereeing, and publishing articles through the ScholarOne system. Consequently please observe the following guidelines, so as to help us secure a straightforward and timely review of your work. We operate from a word range of approximately 8,000–12,000. We will ask you to rework and resubmit articles that require a large effort to prepare them for outside review.

Also, consider emailing the editor in advance to introduce yourself and outline the project you plan to submit. Explain in a few paragraphs your article's main themes, significance and implications, and tell us why E&S would be an appropriate publication venue. If you have been in contact with the editor or an associate editor at a seminar, conference, annual meeting, or elsewhere, an email can serve to renew that connection.

Many thanks,
Andrew Popp, Editor, Enterprise & Society
