WHAT

is Business History?

Business history focuses on an issue of agency of individual companies or entrepreneurs in a wider historical context. Even though it is not well known in Poland economic historians, sociologists and management scholar have mage huge contribution over the years.

In Poland, a country “cursed by discontinuity”, business history provides a fundament for critical thinking, reflexivity about the past, identify formation, strategic management, and authentic storytelling.

We combine historical, social studies including archival research, case study, grounded theory, qualitative coding, and visual ethnography to get the most out of historical materials.
