New journal: Enterprise and Society 
 
The Business History Conference and Oxford University Press are pleased 
to announce a new journal, Enterprise and Society: The International 
Journal of Business History, which will present its inaugural issue in 
Spring 2000. Enterprise and Society will appear quarterly. Three issues 
will be fully refereed, and the fourth will contain proceedings of the 
annual meeting of the Business History Conference. The new journal 
succeeds the BHC's well-known Business and Economic History. 
 
Enterprise and Society will offer a forum for research on the historical 
relations between businesses and their larger political, cultural, 
institutional, social, and economic contexts. The journal aims to be 
truly international in scope. Studies focused on individual firms and 
industries and grounded in a broad historical framework will be welcome, 
as will innovative applications of economic or management theories to 
business and its context. Quantitative work couched in terms accessible to 
non-cliometricians also will be welcome. Enterprise and Society will 
actively encourage submission of studies of business that arise from 
collateral social scientific and humanities disciplines (for example, 
historical sociology, anthropology, political economy, geography, and 
theories of economy and societies). In addition to the editor, the 
journal will engage Associate Editors for the Americas, Europe, and Asia 
and Africa, with a view toward attracting fresh, interesting, and rigorous 
research from a variety of national and comparative perspectives. 
 
The editor of Enterprise and Society will be William J. Hausman, 
Department of Economics, College of William and Mary, and for the last 
twelve years editor of Business and Economic History. There will be four 
area associate editors and a review editor. The Associate Editor for 
Europe is Steven Tolliday, Department of Economic and Social History, 
University of Leeds; the Associate Editor for Asia is Takashi Hikino, 
Graduate Faculty of Eocnomics, Kyoto University; the Associate Editors for 
the Americas are Sally Clarke, Department of History, University of Texas, 
Austin, and David Sicilia, Department of History, University of Maryland, 
College Park. Enterprise and Society also will publish reviews of books 
and other media; Associate Editor for Reviews is Philip Scranton, School 
of History, Technology, and Society, Georgia Institute of Technology, and 
director of the Hagley Museum and Library's Center for the History of 
Business, Technology, and Society.
