This book provides a valuable review of the disciplines of organizational and management history, illuminating the interconnectedness of these disciplines, identifying gaps in the literature, and sketching a model for a unified field of research and study. This co-authored study is a long-awaited theoretical re-evaluation of organizational and management history. The authors explore the disciplinary advantages of a joint approach to these related fields, noting opportunities for future scholarship, from the wider range of industries and case types to the richer theoretical toolbox. Within this framework, the book investigates interdisciplinary methodologies and surveys and analyzes the most promising of the newest theoretical lenses and empirical approaches in the field. The authors address complex issues from a metacritical perspective, from the emergent theorization of time in the context of organizational identity to the conundrum of case selection for empirical studies. Clear and thorough, the volume creates a compelling theoretical framework for future studies. New Directions in Organizational and Management History inaugurates, and sets the stage for, the new series De Gruyter Studies in Organizational and Management History.

lt;p>Professor Sonia Coman, Curatorial Fellow, Freer and Sackler, Smithsonian Institution, Washington DC, USA.
Sonia Coman's research focuses on cross-cultural exchanges in the long 19th century, the history of ceramics, and the history of collecting. Sonia received a B.A. from Harvard (Phi Beta Kappa, Magna cum laude) and a Ph.D. in Art History from Columbia (supervisor Prof. A. Higonnet), where she wrote her dissertation on a set of Japanese aesthetic principles that spurred a reinvention of French and Japanese ceramics in the late 19th century. At Columbia, she designed and taught an undergraduate seminar on the soft power of ceramic arts across world cultures. She is also an avid reader and writer of Japanese verse. Her poetry has been awarded and published internationally.

Introduction

The introduction provides a rationale for the volume, as the first in this new series, and familiarizes the reader with the criteria and procedures that the two authors used in researching and writing the book. Lastly, this introductory section explains how the book is organized and how each chapter responds to the goals of the volume.

Part I: A History of Organizational and Management History

Chapters:

A Brief History of Organizational History

A Brief History of Management History

Organizational History vs. Management History

Gaps in the Literature

The first part traces the origin and evolution of the disciplines of organizational history and management history, adopting a global approach to the literature review. In exploring these fields in relation to one another, the authors envision a more integrated field in which the two disciplines benefit from each other's methodologies, theoretical frameworks, and research agendas. Within this framework, this part identifies and discusses the gaps in the literature, some of which are expanded upon in parts II and III.

Part II: New Directions in Theoretical Framing

Chapters:

Interdisciplinary Collaborations

Multimethod Approaches

New Theoretical Lenses (e.g., understanding time)

The second part focuses on new directions in theoretical framing for organizational and management history. Relying on the authors' survey of historical and recent literature, the part explores the advantages and potential pitfalls of interdisciplinary approaches, hybrid methodologies, and relatively new or underexplored theoretical concepts and perspectives.

Part III: New Directions in Empirical Approaches

Chapters:

Making the Case for Historical Case Studies

Case Selection: Underexplored Fields and Industries

The third and last part focuses on empirical studies, investigating new directions in the field, particularly the surge of interest in historical case studies and in selecting cases from underexplored industries (e.g., creative industries, fashion, gastronomy, etc.). This part builds on the previous one to shed light on how theoretical models can be built or further developed by expanding the scope boundaries and criteria in case selection, both temporally (e.g., learning from cases from the past) and spatioculturally (e.g., creative fields, nontraditional companies, and/or organizational structures).

Conclusion

The conclusion discusses the chapters in the book and reflects on the future of the field, setting the stage for subsequent books in the series.
