Call for Papers for Special Issue

BUSINESS GROUPS AROUND THE WORLD

Guest-edited by

María Inés Barbero (Universidad de San Andrés, Argentina)

and Nuria Puig (Universidad Complutense de Madrid)

This special issue aims to open a discussion about business groups as an organizational pattern from a historical and comparative perspective.

Diversified business groups are a common form of business organization in late-developing economies, found more generally outside Anglo-American countries. They play a prominent economic and social role in Latin America, Asia and Africa, as well as in European countries such as Spain, Sweden, Italy and France.

Since the 1970s, development economists, economic sociologists, political scientists, management scholars and -last but not least- business historians have been paying increased attention to the institutional environment, organizational structure, economic performance and social implications of business groups.

They are relevant and pose challenges to Business History for at least three reasons:

First, the existence and resilience of diversified economic groups shows that large firms adopt organizational structures other than the multidivisional, US-style corporation which is at the core of the Chandlerian model.

Second, their diffusion in developing but also in advanced countries offers business historians the opportunity to test, and eventually challenge well-established theories of economic development.

Third, historical studies reveal that business groups are not a new phenomenon, specific to the emerging economies, but an organizational structure that appeared and spread throughout the world in the second half of the 19th century (linked to the second industrialization and to the first globalization wave).

This special issue aims to contribute to the historical and comparative study of business groups by encouraging long-term, in-depth analysis of this unique form of organization and promoting a transcontinental scholarly dialogue.

The editors organized a session at the World Economic History Congress (Stellenbosch, July 2012) where papers from four continents were presented. Our expectations at the outset were, first, to gather new empirical evidence, qualitative as well as quantitative, about business groups in as many countries as possible and since the beginning of the first global economy; and second, to advance in the conceptualization of business groups, eventually challenging well-established theories.

Of the most frequently addressed issues, five stand out:

1/ The role of the State as promoter of business groups through import-substitution-industrialization policies, public investment and entrepreneurship, and colonialism.

2/ The role of merchant/investment banks.

3/ The role of entrepreneurial families, founders and professional managers.

4/ Business groups as institutional innovators and drivers of foreign investment.

4/ The role of social networks in the genesis and development of business groups.

The theoretical implications of the papers were significant. Several papers, for example, identified the economic rationale behind business groups. Others discussed the arguments of authors such as Leff or Kock-Guillén. The diversity of national backgrounds combined with our historical approach was indisputably a major contribution of our session.

The proposed issue will include some of the papers presented at the session as well as new contributions thatprovide both new empirical evidence and a sound basis for advancing in the conceptualization of business groups. Trans-national and trans-continental studies are most welcome, from different disciplinary approaches.

We suggest a set of common questions, grounded on history, which could serve as departure points for the research.

1/ How can economic and business history contribute to the study of business groups, a distinct and resilient form of business organization?

2/ Why are business groups ubiquitous? What are their historical determinants?

3/ Is the business group a useful unit for analysis? Does it shed light on the history of capitalism?

The timeline for the Special Issue is as follows:

31April 2013: Deadline for receipt of proposals.

31May 2013: Confirmation of acceptance.

31October 2013: Deadline for submission of papers.

30 April 2014: Completion of review process.

30 June 2014: Deadline for making final revisions.

End of 2014: Planned publication.

Proposals (500-1,000 words) can be sent to both guest editors:

mbarbero @ udesa.edu.ar and nuriapuig @ ccee.ucm.es

There is no standard length for articles, although 8,000 words, including all tables and notes, is a useful target.
