Abstract

We would like to welcome you again to another issue of the Journal of Management History. Before, we move onto the synopsis of the articles, we would like to make a few announcements. First, we would like to make an announcement of our two new special issues. The first special issue is a commemoration, criticism and analysis of Wren and Bedeian’s The Evolution of Management Thought, for 50 years the standard text on management history. The second special issues are on the history of entrepreneurship. Our second announcement is that we are encouraging authors to submit historically minded literature reviews to the journal to further our understanding of management practice. Our third announcement will be our relaunching of the book review section. If you wish to review a book, please e-mail our Book Review Editor, Andrew Cardow. We will make further announcements on the future direction of the journal. We believe the following set of articles reflects the high rigor and critical posture of the journal.
