WHAT’S NEW IN FRENCH BUSINESS HISTORY ?

INTERNATIONAL CONGRESS OF FRENCH BUSINESS HISTORY

PARIS, 11^th – 13^th September 2019 – CALL FOR PAPERS

Deadline for proposals for papers and sessions: 5^th March 2019

QUESTIONS AND DEBATES

CONTINUITY AND RUPTURE

Clichés persist, which is why we are sometimes still faced with the question: Are French businesses adapted to the economic, ecological, technological or social challenges of global capitalism? Are they modern? It is true that a powerful state, imposing publicly owned companies, the specific methods of regulating the consumer market, a world of work concerned with its achievements, as well as what could be described as a special relationship with innovation, risk, funding or new technologies have left a lasting mark on France. This has yet to be analysed. Does that explain why France, its businesses, its organisations – in short, French capitalism – often seem to be ignored in recent research and publications on the history of businesses and global capitalism? In other words, in order to take stock of the history of businesses in France is it not logical to assess France’s place in the history of capitalism? Answering these questions is the objective that has been set for the Paris Congress of French Business History.

In a spirit of intellectual and disciplinary openness, the Congress aims to bring together as many researchers from different branches of social and human sciences as possible, provided that their work adopts a historical perspective or addresses issues related to the historical dynamics of businesses. Besides stimulating discussion with French as well as foreign teachers and researchers, the objective of this Congress is also to foster dialogue between the academic world and players in economic and public life who are interested in the history of the role and operation of businesses and organisations, as well as the history of those living and working in the business world. Finally, the Congress should logically also be an opportunity to reflect on how business history is written today in France, on France, but also within the French-speaking world. This will make it possible to establish where French and French-speaking historiography stands in relation to other approaches, particularly Anglo-Saxon approaches. Three main sets of questions will be addressed.

The role of businesses – both French and foreign – in the emergence of a form of French-style capitalism
Governance, types of ownership (family, joint-stock), legal status, methods of control
Weight and demography of different kinds of French businesses (groups, associations, SMEs, very small enterprises)
Existence of a French organisational and management model (strategic choices, organisational forms, management styles, specific values, training and recruitment of managerial elites, role of engineers, influence of consultants, role of professional associations, management techniques – accounting, financial or marketing practices, staff management)
Weight of national public institutions (state, economic policies, publicly owned enterprises, role of legislation and social laws, legal and regulatory framework, etc.)
French businesses and technology (production methods, ‘robotisation’ (automation), digitalisation, product technology, innovation and research)
The question of entrepreneurship
Methods of funding economic activity (banks, capital markets, monetary and financial regulation, etc.)
Specificities of the functioning of the labour market and social relations
Structure and dynamics of investment policies and policies providing support for research and innovation
Means of regulating the market and competition (prices, standards, norms, lobbies, cartels, business and competition law, etc.)
Weight of associative and cooperative organisations in economic dynamics
Borrowing and influence of foreign models (Great Britain, Germany, the United States, Japan, China, Africa, Latin America, the Middle East, etc.)

French companies confronted with the challenges of globalisation and modernity
New or old challenges (sustainable development and pollution, ethics, information and communication technologies, new forms of work and organisation, the issue of minorities and diversity, corporate social responsibility [CSR], etc.)
The historical dynamics of certain French activities on world markets (pharmaceutical industry, automotive industry, aeronautics, rail transport, agri-food, tourism and the hotel business, retailers and trade, leisure industry, research, arms industry, IT, nuclear, etc.)
Weight and role of foreign businesses in France
Businesses in France’s geopolitical relations with other world economies or other cultural areas (Asia, Africa, Europe, North America, Latin America)
French companies in the face of crises and revolutions in history (economic, ecological or political, regional or global, military conflicts, political or geostrategic tensions, protectionism, migration, commercial traffic, political or religious movements, etc.)
Businesses confronted with economic or social doctrines and policies (liberalism, Keynesianism, Marxism, market regulation and deregulation, new forms of wage labour and of work, business theories, etc.)

Finally, the Congress should address important epistemological or methodological questions: the question of access to sources, of new ways in which firms themselves preserve and promote the use of records, but also the issue of publishing the work of historians in French.

Writing business history in France today
The actors in business history in France today (archivists, researchers in the human and social sciences [historians, managers, sociologists, economists, anthropologists, etc.], communication and history businesses, legal experts, journalists, magazines, newspapers, learned societies and academic associations, think tanks, etc.)
Business history practices (preservation of memory, promotion and communication tools, employee training, levers of change, strategy development, etc.)
The impact of new technologies (archiving, preservation, accessibility, communication, user and property rights)
Risks and challenges for business historians (accessibility of archives, control, property rights, destruction of archives, new sources, etc.)
Business history and interdisciplinarity
Historical research on companies participating in debates and societal issues (national or international visibility, usefulness, managerial or operational impact, etc.)

ORGANISATION

The organisation of the Congress brings together a wide array of public and private institutions. The Congress will be held at the Paris-Dauphine University, the Sorbonne University, and at the ESCP Europe business school in the framework of its 200^th anniversary.

VIU Responsible Capitalism Workshop

February 25, 2019February 21, 2019 Steph

IV Edition

June 10 – 13, 2019

Applications open: February 5 – March 5, 2019 via VIU website.

The summer school on Responsible Capitalism is an initiative of VIU in cooperation with the two member universities Ca’ Foscari University of Venice and University of Lausanne.

It aims at the development of ideas that promote a more sustainable future by bringing together young scholars from all over the world to discuss their ideas on the future of Capitalism from the microlevel of individual decision-making to the organizational and the societal level.

It gives participants the opportunity to discuss with eminent scholars in management theory and to test their ideas and present their work.

Participants will be made familiar with recent research from a broad set of disciplines. They will work on their ability to engage in the transdisciplinary discourse which is required for the development of innovative answers to grand sustainability challenges.

Who is it for?
Applications are welcome from current PhD students, post-doc researchers in Management, Strategy, Organization Theory, Finance, Economic Sociology, and related disciplines from universities worldwide.

Deadline for submissions
March 5, 2019; admitted candidates will be notified by March 8, 2019.

Program theme
Capitalism is facing a historically unprecedented legitimacy crisis. Accumulating social and environmental side effects, disconnected financial markets, and a growing gap between the rich and the poor create grand challenges which require fundamental changes in how we produce and consume. While the importance and urgency of sustainability is rarely challenged, deep processes of transformation usually face numerous institutional and psychological barriers that have to be overcome. As Jared Diamond described in his book “Collapse”, civilizations often react to a crisis of which they do not understand the causalities by reinforcing the routines that might have created the crisis in the first place. Understanding the institutional and psychological forces that block and/or enable deep transformations is a key aspect of responsible capitalism. The Venice Summer School 2019 will investigate those forces on the individual, organizational and societal level.

Faculty

Marie-Laure Djelic, Sciences Po
Giovanni Favero, Università Ca’ Foscari Venezia

“History and the Micro-foundations of Dynamic Capabilities” by Roy Suddaby, University of Victoria.
Abstract. The capacity to manage history is an important but undertheorized component of dynamic capabilities. Following Teece (2007), we observe that the micro-foundations of strategic action, particularly in rapidly changing environments, are premised on the ability of the firm to enact change by sensing opportunity in the future, seizing that opportunity in the present and reconfigure organizations by overcoming the historical constraints of their past. To accomplish this, firms must acquire a historical consciousness – an awareness of history as an objective, interpretive and imaginative cognitive skill. In order to fully exploit dynamic capabilities, firms must acquire the ability to manage…

JBE SI: Business Ethics in the Post-Communist Societies of Central and Eastern Europe

Special Issue Call for Papers: “Business Ethics in the Post-Communist Societies of Central and Eastern Europe”

Submission Deadline for Full Papers: Friday 1 November 2019

Introduction to the Special Issue Call for Papers
This call for papers, which follows on from the last special issue on post-communist societies (Brown, McCabe and Primeaux, 2003) will focus on the developments in ethical standards in the post-communist countries of Central and Eastern Europe as over thirty years has elapsed since the demise of the Soviet Bloc. Despite some common institutional features the societies of Central and Eastern Europe have had very different experiences (Hardy, 2014; Myant and Drahokoupil, 2010; 2011) with uneven developments across the region since the collapse of communism. In this special issue we invite papers that explore business ethics situated within the context of the challenges that face these still transforming societies. The post-communist societies of Central and Eastern Europe (CEE) have experienced radical changes since the collapse of communism. A particular issue for these societies has been the development of new political and economic institutions to meet the requirements of modern European market democracies. An important part of this process was the move to develop these societies to conform to the norms of the European Union leading to eventual accession (with exception of the former Eastern Germany) in the 2000s. Managers of organisations have had to respond to the fast changes in their markets, the privatisation of former state-owned enterprises (Filatotchev, Starkey and Wright, 1994; Gray, 1996), the rolling back of the state, the development competition with new companies (Smallbone and Welter, 2001), the impact of foreign direct investment and the effects of the 2008 financial crisis. Managers have also had to respond to the challenge of the re-legitimisation of management as an activity in post-communist society where managers were viewed as part of the repressive state bureaucracy (Bohata, 1997).

We are interested in theoretical and empirical research on that investigates managerial and organisational responses to these challenges. Papers might consider, but are by no means limited to, the following topics:

The influence of privatisation and post-privatisation strategies on management behaviour and ethics
Leadership, misconduct and unethical behaviour by managers and owners of companies
Corporate governance and transparency and corruption
The development of local and national government institutions after the collapse of the Soviet Bloc and their influence on managers and organisations
Spill-over effects and the influence of joint-ventures and multi-multinationals on the development of managerial practices and ethics
The development of professional ethical standards in CEE and management education programmes
The effects of the historical legacy of societal tolerance of corruption and unethical behaviour
Comparative studies of managerial behaviour across the CEE region

Submission Process and Deadline
Authors should refer to the Journal of Business Ethics website for instructions on submitting a paper and for more information about the journal: http://www.springer.com/social+sciences/applied+ethics/journal/10551.

Submission of papers to the special issue is required through Editorial Manager at: http://www.editorialmanager.com/busi/.
Upon submission, please indicate that your submission is to this Special Issue.
Any questions about potential topics and papers should be directed to the guest editors of the special issue.

The deadline for submission of full papers is Friday 1 November 2019.

Paper Development Workshop
There will be a paper development workshop organised at the University of Regensburg, 11- 12 July 2019. Please email thomas.steger@wiwi.uni-regensburg.de with your paper by 27 May 2019. Please note that attendance at the workshop is not a requirement for submission to the special issue.

Perceiving the Present by Means of the Past: Theorizing the Strategic Importance of Corporate Archives

Smith , (2019), Perceiving the Present by Means of the Past: Theorizing the Strategic Importance of Corporate Archives, in Torben Juul Andersen , Simon Torp , Stefan Linder (ed.)

Abstract

It is commonly acknowledged that history matters in strategy. However, the strategy literature mainly discusses history in terms of path dependency, leaving little room for managerial agency, despite growing anecdotal evidence that managers can actively draw on corporate history to improve decision-making. An emerging literature on how managers use the past to give sense to internal and external stakeholders has given rise to a more agent-based approach to history, but while sense-giving is commonly connected to sense-making as a driver of strategic change, the role of…
