Studies from City University of London in the Area of Business History Reported (An Integrative Approach To Investigating Longstanding Organisational Phenomena; Opportunities for Practice Theorists and Historians): Business – Business History

2023 MAY 24 (NewsRx) -- By a News Reporter-Staff News Editor at Economics Daily Report -- Fresh data on Business - Business History are presented in a new report. According to news reporting originating in London, United Kingdom, by NewsRx journalists, research stated, “We add to the ongoing call for greater integration between organisational and history scholarship. Specifically, we contribute by identifying reciprocal opportunities for practice theorists and historians interested in the unfolding of socio-historic patterns over space and time.”

Financial supporters for this research include British Academy, Insurance Intellectual Capital Initiative, Economic & Social Research Council (ESRC), European Commission.

The news reporters obtained a quote from the research from the City University of London, “Through contrasting two studies of ‘relationship’ in the international reinsurance industry - one an ethnographic, practice-based study, the other an archival, historic analysis - we illuminate the differences between and also complementarities of the two approaches. Understanding such differences provides the foundation for a more reflexive construction of future research design.”

According to the news reporters, the research concluded: “Using the insights gained by contrasting the two studies we show how a more integrative approach allows the extension of organisational constructs and theories.”

This research has been peer-reviewed.
