Le lundi 17 mars 2014 à Francfort-sur-le-Main aura lieu la première conférence mondiale d'histoire des entreprises. Elle sera précédée, pour ceux qui le souhaitent, par un dîner la veille 16 mars. A la demande des organisateurs, je reproduis ci-dessous l'appel à communications, car la clôture est proche : il y a donc urgence, et parce qu'il y a actuellement, disent-ils, un manque cruel de propositions françaises.Patrick FridensonWorld Business History Conference 2014"State of the art in World Business History - a first review"Call for Papers: World Business History ConferenceSunday 16 and Monday 17 March 2014 in Frankfurt/Main, GermanyThe globalisation of business has changed the landscape of academic enquiry into businessactivities.
