Objectives

The Centre for Business History at Copenhagen Business School (CBS) was established in 1999 in order to strengthen the historical dimension of CBS research and teaching. We are thus looking forward to our 25th anniversary in 2024 ... stay tuned!

The objectives of the Centre’s activities are:

  • to contribute to the understanding of the modern enterprise as an actor and driving force in economic development;
  • to afford greater insights into the dynamics of the modern enterprise in its interaction with its environment;
  • to better understand the links between societal developments and modern business.

 

Journals

The Centre for Business History engages in a variety of editorial projects to advance research in our field. Members of the Centre serve as General Editors to two of the leading journals in business history: Enterprise & Society (Andrew Popp) and Management and Organizational History (Anders Ravn Sørensen and R.
