Multinational banking in Egypt
Using records left by the Ionian Bank and other British multinational banks, as well as building on the extensive insights provided by leading business historians, the article contributes to the debate about how historical analysis can illuminate the study of international business. We shall achieve this by firstly evaluating the reasons why Ionian moved to Egypt, applying Dunning’s ‘eclectic paradigm’ to the analysis of a highly complex economic…

Knowledge Flows and Industrial Clusters
How knowledge is created, accessed, stored and disseminated has become a major focus of study when assessing the success or failure of industrial clusters. Marshall (1890; 225) initiated this debate when he noted: ‘The mysteries of the trade become no mysteries; but are as it were in the air’. In the edited collection by Wilson, Corker and Lane (2022), emphasis has been placed on the links between knowledge, knowledge flows and how innovation sys…

Assimilation in bereavement
This theory-building case study examined an application of the Assimilation of Grief Experiences Scale (AGES), a conceptual account of a bereaved person’s process of change in grief recovery, in a case study of a 40-year old woman in bereavement counselling. An assessment session and 44 counselling sessions were analysed intensively, comparing the description provided by the AGES with the details of the case. Results showed how the AGES tracked a…
Business history and the ‘practical turn’
In addressing the urgent need for business historians to think about enhancing their relationships with practitioners, we advocate what we term a 'Practical Turn' (as opposed to a 'historic turn' or a 'narrative turn', as proposed by other scholars). Although not entirely original, this 'Practical Turn' is essential if the discipline is to gain greater credibility, especially in management and business schools where most business historians resid…
Corporate Networks and Business Groups in Egypt, 1924–1948
By providing fresh insights into the development of Egyptian corporate networks and business groups between the early 1920s and late 1940s, this article extends the geographical ambit of an expanding field of study. Data from contemporaneous sources were analyzed through social network analysis techniques, in the search for an improved understanding of both the nature of and motivations behind networking in Egypt. In conducting this exercise, thi…
Business History
A history of business history
This chapter concerns charting what can only be described as a transformational process, capturing how a specific discipline emerged out of a variety of influences. Interestingly, though, in none of the rapidly growing British business schools did business history feature specifically in either staff recruitment or their programmes, establishing a tradition that persists into the 2020s. Similarly, some social scientists were utilizing business hi…
Business history, international business and strategy scholarship
Perchard et al. have also attempted to develop an effective bridging mechanism between historical research and disciplines such as strategy, international business and entrepreneurship. Kobrak et al. speak only to business history audiences, resulting in what they call the ‘echo chamber effect’ that inhibits a meaningful conversation between the disciplines. The key to a resolution to this ‘echo chamber effect’ is much greater use of history by I…
Business history
This chapter elaborates on why business history has failed to make deeper inroads into the mindsets of practitioners and policymakers and offers some practical ideas on how business historians can engage with the world of policy and practice. Consequently, business history research seems to have failed to make much of an impact in this area. A key strength of business history research stems from its ability to put current issues in proper context…

Is There a Bidirectional Causal Relationship Between Religiosity and Volunteering
Most studies of the effect of religiosity on volunteering overlook or fail to deal adequately with the possibility that there is reverse causal relation, from volunteering to religiosity, which should be taken into account. Using four waves of the Americans' Changing Lives study, we estimate a reciprocal relationship between church attendance and religious and secular volunteering, using dynamic panel models with fixed effects using structural eq…

British corporate networks, 1976–2010
Using an extensive and unique data set that has been created to record the composition of the boards of directors of the top 250 British firms between 1904 and 2010, this article builds upon a previous study by the authors on the corporate network to 1976 by extending the study to 2010. The analysis revolves around three key observations: the nature and depth of the corporate network; the distinct stages in corporate connectivity between 1976 and…

Volunteering
Volunteering is any activity in which time is given freely to benefit another person, group or cause. Volunteering is part of a cluster of helping behaviors, entailing more commitment than spontaneous assistance but narrower in scope than the care provided to family and friends. Although developed somewhat independently, the study of volunteerism and of social activism have much in common. Since data gathering on volunteering from national sample…
Who Cares? Toward an Integrated Theory of Volunteer Work
The authors construct an integrated theory of formal and informal volunteer work based on the premises that volunteer work is (1) productive work that requires human capital, (2) collective behavior that requires social capital, and (3) ethically guided work that requires cultural capital. Using education, income and functional health to measure human capital, number of children in the household and informal social interaction to measure social c…

The Contribution of Religion to Volunteer Work
The connection between church membership, church activism, and volunteering is explored using a three-wave panel study of young adults. Volunteering to help others solve community problems is more likely among members of churches that emphasize this-worldly social concerns, especially among those socially involved in these churches. Among Catholics, the connection between church involvement and volunteering is formed early and remains strong. Amo…

Returning to the Fold
Afin de verifier plusieurs hypotheses, les A. ont utilise les donnees fournies par la Youth-Parent Socialization Panel Study (1965-1982). Le retour a la religion est encourage par les liens a la famille d'origine et la formation d'une famille nombreuse. Cependant, on constate un dimorphisme sexuel a propos de l'impact de cette derniere idee. Les hommes sont en effet plus affectes que les femmes au cours de la vie. Ce fait s'explique par le role r…
Homeownership and Volunteering
Previous research on volunteering finds significant differences by race and social class. We augment these findings by examining a largely ignored measure of social class: tenure status, the distinction between renters and homeowners. We test a theory that predicts people volunteer more if they have a “stake” in their community and we use the value of their home as a measure of the size of this stake, with renters having no stake at all, using da…
What Happened to the "Long Civic Generation"? Explaining Cohort Differences in Volunteerism
In Bowling Alone Robert Putnam argues that the passing of the “long civic generation” whose values were molded by the Depression and the Second World War, has resulted in a decline in civic engagement. In this analysis we test the generation hypothesis by comparing the volunteer behavior of two successive generations of women at the same age. No support for Putnam's thesis is found. Once appropriate controls for sociodemographic trends are impose…
Volunteer Work and Hedonic, Eudemonic, and Social Well‐Being
Using two waves of panel data from the National Survey of Midlife in the United States (MIDUS), we examine the relationship between volunteer work and three dimensions of well‐being: hedonic (e.g., positive mood), eudemonic (e.g., purpose in life), and social (e.g., feeling of belonging to the community). We test for the effects of volunteering measured as a binary and a continuous variable. Results show that volunteering enhances eudemonic and s…
Legacy Volunteering
Sociological theory suggests two reasons that volunteering runs in families. The first is that parents act as role models. The second is that parents who volunteer pass on the socioeconomic resources needed to do volunteer work. Panel data from two generations of women (N = 1,848) are analyzed to see how much influence family socioeconomic status and mother's volunteering have on daughter's volunteer careers. More highly educated women and women …
Religious Switching for Marriage Reasons
Religious mobility (“switching”) takes place across a terrain defined by the spaces between religious denominations, where distance is usually measured by divergent beliefs and social status differences. The odds of moving from one denomination to another are determined by the distance between them, i.e., how far apart they are theologically and socially. However, many Americans switch religions to harmonize their marriage. The question arises as…
Generativity and Volunteering
The robust association between religion and volunteering and education and volunteering can be interpreted in developmental terms as a function of socialization. Churches and schools instill attitudes that predispose the individual to volunteer. Data from two waves of the National Survey of Midlife in the United States (1995 and 2005) are used to test a hypothesis that generativity—a desire to leave a legacy by providing for the welfare of others…
Religion and Marital Dependency
Les statistiques de la National survey of families and households sont utilisees afin de determiner l'impact de la religion sur la dependance matrimoniale. Les epoux qui appartiennent aux denominations attachant une plus grande valeur au mariage et a la stabilite matrimoniale doivent temoigner d'une plus grande dependance ainsi que ceux qui sont engages dans la vie de l'Eglise ou qui appartiennent a la meme denomination. L'affiliation religieuse …
Substitute or Complement? Spousal Influence on Volunteering
Social scientists have documented the influence of family statuses on volunteering, ignoring intrafamily effects. Using newly issued data from the Current Population Survey on the volunteer behavior of 19,626 American couples, we test two competing theories concerning spousal influences on volunteering. Substitution theory predicts that spouses will trade off volunteer work; complementarity theory predicts that spouses' volunteer work is positive…
Social Heterogeneity and Volunteering in U.S. Cities
In this research we explore the relationship between social heterogeneity and volunteering across U.S. metropolitan areas testing a theory that race heterogeneity, racial segregation, and income inequality are negatively associated with the rate of volunteering. Theorizing that social heterogeneity will have different effects for religious and secular volunteering rates, we analyze them separately. We use nonlinear multilevel models to analyze ne…
Using Normative Theory to Explain the Effect of Religion and Education on Volunteering
Many studies have found that volunteers tend to be more religious and better educated, but it is not clear why. One explanation is that churches and schools instill a sense of obligation in people to help others and this obligation is fulfilled by doing volunteer work. In this study data from National Survey of Midlife in the United States are used to examine the influence of education and having been raised in a religious home on adults' sense o…
Sex Segregation in Volunteer Work
Sex segregation in the workplace—the tendency for men and women to work in different occupations and jobs—remains widespread. Domestic chores are also sex-typed, but the extent to which sex segregation is found in other forms of nonwaged work, such as volunteering, is unknown. One theory about the work/nonwork interface predicts a positive relation between the two types of activity: sex segregation will be just as common in unpaid labor. Another …
Parameter setting within a socially realistic linguistics
This article considers the theoretical and practical relationship between core linguistics and sociolinguistics in relation to the emergence of Principles and Parameters Theory. Parameters were introduced into core Chomskyan linguistics in an effort to account for variation between languages. However, as we argue - and as has long been known in sociolinguistics - languages (French, Italian etc.) are social rather than abstract products. In this s…
Employment Sector and Volunteering
In capitalist societies, jobs are sorted not only by occupational status, but also by the employment sector in which they are situated. Research has demonstrated that public- and nonprofit-sector workers have more prosocial values than private-sector workers. We used recent data from the Current Population Survey (CPS) Special Supplement on Volunteering to examine sector differences in the likelihood of doing volunteer work and the number of hour…
Doing Well by Doing Good
The popular assumption that volunteer work helps people get good jobs is tested using panel data from the Young Women's Module of the National Longitudinal Survey of Labor Market Experience. Volunteering while a young adult has no effect on whether women will be working for pay eighteen years later, but it has a positive effect on the occupational status of those who are. Length of time spent in the labor force between early adulthood and middle …

Social Protest and Social Control
The impact of social control on political protestors is an important but neglected area of study. There are four major issues to consider: (1) who and what is controlled, (2) how control is attempted, (3) who controls, and (4) the effects of control on protest groups. If social control is defined narrowly as reaction to deviance (where deviance is the perceived infraction of a norm), agents of social control can be distinguished from those whom i…

A Glimpse of Syons Glory
Among the numerous tracts which were published during the early and hectic days of the Long Parliament (1641) one anonymous sermon has fascinated historians and assumed some importance in the interpretation of Puritanism during those years. It represents in brief compass a significant facet of Civil War Puritanism. It has served to indicate how radical if latent ideas later developed within the broader movement. Professor Woodhouse reprinted sect…

Another Look at John Canne
The purpose of this paper is to establish a more consistent estimate of John Canne within the context of English Puritanism, 1630-1660. A further conclusion, however, is that study of a figure like Canne makes evident the need to interpret his Puritan context in new ways. This reconsideration involves at once a critical attitude toward the exaggerated emphasis on parties in the analysis of Stuart Puritanism and also an appreciation of the apocaly…

Jonathan Edwards as Historian
Presidential addresses to professional societies are a special kind of presentation. Undoubtedly each of us has his or her own set of categories for them: the lofty pronouncement upon the current professional scene, the prescription of a new direction for the discipline, an analysis of presuppositions prevailing in the field, and, of course, a review of and reflections upon developments in the course of the incumbent's professional years. Whether…
