Call for Papers
Corporate Governance
Annual Meeting of the Business History Conference
Hagley Museum & Library, Wilmington, Delaware, USA
April 19-21, 2002
The theme of the 2002 annual meeting of the Business History
Conference will be "Corporate Governance." We invite proposals for
papers concerned with the historical evolution of corporate
governance in all of its forms, including but not limited to:
entrepreneurial and managerial styles and innovations; the historical
construction of norms and formal rules of governance; relationships
between governance systems and corporate strategies and structures;
and the ideological and political dimensions of governance regimes.
Submissions are invited on all chronological periods, and those on
non-traditional and non-U.S. forms of corporate governance are
especially encouraged. Submissions on topics beyond the theme are
welcome as well.
Proposals may be submitted for individual papers or for entire
panels. Each proposal should include a one-page abstract and
one-page curriculum vitae or resumis for each participant. Panel
proposals also should have a cover letter containing a title, a
one-paragraph panel description, suggestions for a chair and
commentator, and contact information for the panel organizer.
Graduate students in the early stages of writing dissertations may
apply for inclusion in designated workshops intended to discuss
preliminary conclusions and methodologies in an informed but informal
environment. Interested students should submit a one-page abstract
of their project and a one-page vita. These proposals should indicate
they are intended for the Dissertations in Progress sessions.
Dissertations completed in the previous three years (1999-2001) are
eligible for the conference's dissertation session. Proposals are
welcome from Ph.D recipients in history, business administration,
history of science and technology, economics, legal studies, and
other fields whose work is on business history broadly defined.
Presentations made at this session will be published in Enterprise &
Society, the BHC journal. One dissertation will receive the Herman
E. Krooss Prize for the best dissertation in business history, which
includes a $500 award. Proposals should consist of a cover letter,
the dissertation abstract, and the author's c.v., and indicate they
are intended for the Krooss Prize Dissertation Session.
The deadline for receipt of submissions is November 2, 2001. All
graduate students presenting papers are eligible for travel grants to
defray costs associated with attending the annual meeting. Please
send five copies of proposals to Roger Horowitz, Secretary-Treasurer,
Business History Conference, P.O. Box 3630, Wilmington DE 19807, USA.
Presenters are expected to submit abstracts of their papers in
electronic form for posting on the BHC web site. Authors also are
encouraged to post electronic versions of their full papers in
advance of the April meeting. All papers presented at the annual
meeting are eligible for inclusion in the BHCs on-line proceedings
