Description

PDW Workshop.
The goal of this PDW is to interrogate and discuss how the past has been, and might be, empirically and methodological examined by researchers interested in family businesses and entrepreneurship. There is a growing awareness that the past is important to management and organizational scholars. Over the past decade, there has been an increasing focus on the way that managers use history strategically, how memories are negotiated and developed in and around organizations and how historical research can illuminate our understanding of multigenerational companies and the evolution of entrepreneurship across time.
This PDW aims to create a setting where scholars from management history, entrepreneurship, and family business can share their approaches for engaging with history and memory, either methodologically or empirically, to study the past of family businesses and/or entrepreneurship. The intention is to expose these studies as viable and exciting sites for current research and to demonstrate how research about the past can help illustrate new findings and theoretical developments in family business and entrepreneurship.
