The Past Speaks

I wanted to reach out to let you know about a virtual symposium on the temporality of entrepreneurial opportunities that some colleagues and I will be hosting on July 24 in advance of the AoM conference.

We think that entrepreneurial opportunities-as situations (e.g., Shane & Venkataraman, 2000), social constructs (e.g., Alvarez & Barney, 2007) and/or objects of entrepreneurial discourse (e.g., Cornelissen and Clarke, 2010)-have something to do with a contrast between the status quo (i.e. the 网际直通车) and the imagined future which may be realized through action in the present. But we’ve noticed that the entrepreneurship literature rarely deals explicitly or directly with the relationship between entrepreneurial opportunities and the passage of time (e.g., historical time, process time, clock time, etc.).

Join us on July 24, 2020 at 8 AM Pacific Time for a panel discussion and dialogue on the question-how does an explicit focus on time, temporality or history shape the way you conceptualize and study entrepreneurial opportunity?

周刊 - chinacourt.org:2021-10-24 · 群众反映问题，开通民意网上直通 车。黑龙江高院还制定了《“院长信 箱”所涉案件、事项办理工作的实施 细则》，规范信箱留言的梳理、批 转、办理和答复等流程。目前，全省 三级法院192个法院网站都开通了 “院长信箱”，极大地方便了当事人反 映诉求。

While researchers thus recognize the paradoxical nature of the family business as an organization that can be burdened or empowered by history, theory on how history actually ties into family business’ tradition, change, and aspiration remains scarce (De Massis, Frattini, Kotlar, Messeni Petruzzelli, & Wright, 2016; Erdogan et al., 2020; Sinha et al., 2020; Suddaby, Coraiola, Harvey, & Foster, 2020; Suddaby & Jaskiewicz, 2020). One reason for this unsatisfactory status quo is the weak connection between history and family business scholarship that has limited current understanding of what family business scholars can learn from the wealth of history and historical research, and how they can integrate related learnings in the study of family business (e.g., Colli, 2003; Colli & Fernandez Perez, 2020).

Considering the rapidly growing interest in studying the link between history and family businesses, we believe that it is warranted and timely to build a strong foundation for a history-informed approach to the study of family businesses, by which we refer to family business research that draws on historical research methods and/or leverages history as a key component (or variable) of theory or empirical analysis (Argyres et al., 2020; Sasaki et al., 2020; Sinha et al., 2020; Suddaby & Foster, 2017; Suddaby et al., 2020).

This Special Issue therefore calls for new, interdisciplinary research on family firms that extends our understanding of how and why history and historical research methods can enrich theoretical explanations of family business behavior and of temporal phenomena happening in family business settings. We call for both “history in theory” and “history to theory” studies. We call for original studies that propose novel and more fine-grained theoretical understanding of the role and use of history in family business processes as well as a reconceptualization of history and the use of history in family business research. At the same time, we encourage scholars to develop and apply historical research methods that allow them to use historical data and records to build and test their theoretical models about family business behaviors and outcomes. By doing so, this Special Issue favors the development and application of new perspectives and innovative methodological approaches for addressing critical questions in family business that favor a better integration of the academic fields of history and family business.

Manuscripts may address, but are not limited to, the following topics:

• How can family business phenomena be better theorized when the historical context where they take place, and the complex temporal dimensions through which they occur, are explicitly taken into account?
• How do family businesses and their actors use history to give meaning to the present, inform their expectations about the future, and make business and family decisions?
• 中国行业云安全PCSF论坛推动私有云等级保护升级－企业 ...:2021-10-26 · 联系我们 邮箱登录 通行证登录 网站地图
• How can traditions be (re-)conceptualized in family business settings to better account for their ambivalent roles for family business’ goals, behavior, and outcomes?
• How can history-informed research be used to manage the tradition and innovation paradox or other typical paradoxes characterizing family business behavior?

• How can change and innovation be used in a family business setting to perpetuate history and traditions (e.g., “tradition through innovation”)?
• What are the distinctive organizational routines and capabilities that enable family firms to combine and reconfigure their history over time and build a bundle of valuable historical resources?
• What are the distinctive organizational routines and capabilities that enable family firms to adopt retrospective and prospective approaches to using their resources to concurrently perpetuate tradition and achieve innovation (e.g., “temporal symbiosis”)?
• How do the past and the historical context inform how family-centered and business-centered goals are set in the family business context?
• How do the past and the historical context inform how new business opportunities are identified, evaluated and exploited? What’s the role played by history for transgenerational entrepreneurship in the family enterprise?

• How did specific and non-recurrent events or actions in the history of the family and/or its business lead to particular firm behaviors, and to the development of organizational capabilities (or lack thereof)?
• What are the advantages of employing a historically embedded approach to improve current understanding of how family businesses learn, innovate, and make strategic decisions over time? How can such approaches be adapted and extended by family business scholars?
• How do family business phenomena and practices evolve over time, and how are they shaped by the interactions between family firms, families, and their histories?
• What are the unpredictable, nonrecurrent events either in the family or in the business system that change the course of history and the evolution of a family business organization?
• How do different actors, groups, or family business organizations perceive time when it is conceived as a complex, socially constructed concept?
• How do individuals and groups within family businesses conceive time in practice, and allocate their attention differently to the past, present, and future?
• How do different temporal foci and/or orientations of different actors within the family business, and /or their perception of the past, influence the behavior and performance of the family firm? How do such orientations change in the presence of specific situational factors, such as intra-family succession or business exit?
• How can an “historical cognizance” perspective (Kipping & Üsdiken, 2014) that incorporates period effects and historical contingencies into the theorizing process be useful to predict family firm behavior and its effect on family and business outcomes?
• How can historical research methods and historical data be useful to family business research for understanding the context of contemporary phenomena, identifying sources of exogenous variations, developing and testing informed causal inferences and theories, and supporting analyses of temporal phenomena occurring across generations?

The 2020 EGOS (European Group for Organization Studies) conference is being held virtually this year because of the virus.  I’ve got a co-authored paper in Sub-theme 12 (Institutions, Innovation, Impact: Temporal, Spatial and Material Foundations of Institutional Innovation and Change) and will also, childcare permitting, be logging to listen to papers in the sub-theme that I regard as my natural home at EGOS (sub-theme 1, Organization & Time: Understanding the Past (and Future) in the Present). I have read a number of the sub-theme 1 papers and hope to be offer comments via Zoom.

I must say that I am pleased that participation in this online conference costs just 10 Euro, which is vastly cheaper than registration fee for the online Academy of Management conferencethat will be taking place in early August, which is US$200.

What explains the considerable difference in the registration fee for these two online conferences?  I’m genuinely interested to know the answer to this question. I think that part of the answer is that the AoM is based in the US and many things in the US, particularly those that relate to higher education and healthcare but also public sector infrastructure projects, cost much more than other advanced economies.  For reasons that have never been adequately explained, it costs far more to build a mile of subway in the US than it does in western Europe or East Asia. Getting an appendix or buying a shot of insulin also costs way more in the US that in natural comparison economies. The latter is why Americans go to Canadian pharmacies. In my view, these greater costs are symptomatic of deep-seated problems in the US to which neither the American right nor the American left have workable solutions. The vast gap between the EGOS and AoM registration fees is consistent with a broader pattern. Clearly, the AoM’s leaders may wish to contain future cost escalation, perhaps by becoming more like EGOS.

The Coleman Prize is named in honour of the British Business Historian Donald Coleman, this prize is awarded annually by the Association of Business Historians to recognise excellence in new research in Britain. It is open to PhD dissertations in Business History either having a British subject or completed at a British University. All dissertations completed in the previous two calendar years to that of their submission are eligible (with the exception of previous submissions). It is a condition of eligibility for the Prize that shortlisted finalists will present their findings at the Association’s annual conference.

This year’s prize was awarded to Akram Beniamin for his dissertation “Cotton, Finance and Business Networks in a Globalised World: The Case of Egypt during the first half of the Twentieth century”.

Abstract:

My thesis investigated commodity networks, foreign banking and foreign business networks, as three manifestations of the first global economy, in Egypt. The country was well integrated into the world economy by exporting cotton, importing foreign capital, and hosting a large foreign community. The study shows that the Egyptian cotton network was sophisticated as market participants were spatially dispersed. The network was instrumentally coordinated by foreign banks that provided the crucial function of intermediating the flows of cotton, finance, and information. The thesis demonstrates that the history of foreign banks in Egypt does not conform to the imperialism and exploitation rhetoric. Foreign banks were businesses that sought profits and faced many risks and challenges. Some risks were uncontrollable and negatively affected bank performance, which was shaped by trade-off between opportunity and risk appetite. The analysis of the interlocking directorates of the Egyptian corporate and elite networks establishes that these networks, predominantly controlled by local foreigners, served as a basis for coordinating and maintaining collective interests. The structure of the elite network presumably fostered entrepreneurial activities that were funded by foreign capital. The analysis documents the gradual rise of indigenous entrepreneurs at the expense of foreigners.

About the winner:

The Journal of Historical Research in Marketing invites submissions for a special issue focused on ‘International Sources for Advertising and Marketing History’. Anyone embarking upon advertising and marketing history research in addition to a literature search will seek out primary sources. However, locating such primary sources can be challenging. Many government archives, such as Library and Archives Canada, contain a wealth of material relating to advertising and marketing history which is underutilised because researchers are mostly unaware of the collections.  Similarly the digitisation of historic newspapers around the world is making available an ever increasing wealth of advertising and marketing content which is underutilised by historians.  Other online digitised primary sources such as those available through family history websites can be utilised by historians.

For this special issue of JHRM, 网际直通车:

• Specialist advertising and marketing history archives,
• Corporate archives,
• Business archives,
• Government archives,
• University archives,
• Large digitised collections such as one at the Smithsonian: http://library.si.edu/collections,
• Digitised historic newspapers,
• Transnational web portals such as http://www.europeana.eu,
• Family history websites.

Submissions for this special issue will be open from 1 August 2021 until 30 September 2021 with an expected publication as part of the 2022 volume of the journal.  If you are unsure of the suitability of your topic or have questions regarding a submission, please contact the special issue guest editors Richard Hawkins, 网际直通车 and Leighann Neilson, leighann.neilson@carleton.ca.

How to submit to the Journal of Historical Research in Marketing

Submissions for this special issue of JHRM should be made using ScholarOne Manuscripts, the online submission and peer review system. Registration and access is available on the journal’s ScholarOne site: http://mc.manuscriptcentral.com/jhrm.

It is well understood that restrictive immigration policies constrain the freedom of migrants who want to move from poorer countries to richer ones. Alex Tabarrok has recently been an eloquent advocate of open immigrationand critic of the worldwide move to immigration restrictions.  The Singapore-based academic Chandran Kukathas argues that such anti-immigrant policies also constitute unacceptable restrictions on the freedom of people already living in wealthy countries. He makes this argument in a forthcoming Princeton University Press book and in an IEA academic webinar that took place today

Concerns about immigration usually stem from a fear that immigration threatens to undermine the institutions and values of a liberal democratic society. Less often considered is the impact of immigration control on those same values and institutions. This presentation looks at the other side of the ledger. It also considers the implications of episodes like pandemics to this issue.

I’m promoting a new paper by Zoi Pittaki that applies Baumol (1990s) distinction between types of entrepreneurship (productive, unproductive, destructive) to recent Greek history. The paper has appeared in the journal Business History.
“Extending William Baumol’s theory on entrepreneurship and institutions: lessons from post-Second World War Greece”

This article examines William Baumol’s theory about the interaction between taxation and entrepreneurship and proposes an extension to it. The analysis shows that the traditional form of Baumol’s model, focusing mainly on the level of taxes, cannot be used in order to explain what happened in the Greek case. Utilising historical evidence from the mid 1950s to the late 1980s, this article confirms that problematic tax rules create difficulties for entrepreneurship and can lead to unproductive forms of it, as Baumol suggests. However, the focus here is on aspects of the system of taxation that Baumol’s model, examining solely tax rates and levels of taxation, neglected. It is shown that, as far as Greek entrepreneurship is concerned, the adverse effects of the system of taxation came not from the level of taxes, but mostly from a series of issues that increased its perceived unfairness and illegitimacy. Some of such issues were the complexity and frequent change of legislation, the insufficient organisation of the tax bureaus as well as the lack of adequate training and arbitrariness of the members of tax services. The evidence presented here suggests that Baumol’s model can be enriched by taking into consideration these aspects of taxation too.

I really like how the author used her historical research to address a gap in Baumol’s model. In my view, the paper makes a theoretical contribution that should be useful to both entrepreneurship researchers and to citizens interested in designing institutions that promote the right type of entrepreneurship.

A Post-Doctoral Research Fellowship (SKO 1352) is available at the Department of Archaeology, Conservation and History (IAKH), University of Oslo. The positions are associated with the 5-year Consolidator Grant 818523 “CREATIVE IPR – The History of Intellectual Property Rights in the Creative Industries” funded by the European Research Council and led by Principal Investigator Véronique Pouillard, professor in history at the University of Oslo.

“Creative IPR” aims to study the history of the intellectual property rights in the creative industries, from the Paris Convention (1883) and the Berne Convention (1886) to the present day, with a particular focus on Europe in the global world. It examines the history of intellectual property rights in the creative industries, with a focus on national and international institutions, and on the management of creativity.
