Women in corporate networks: An introduction
This article is designed as an introduction to the Business History special issue, ‘Women in corporate networks’. To begin, we address the main theoretical and methodological issues. We argue that business historians should engage in greater dialogue with feminist approaches, by which we mean a study of the gendered nature of power relations in business networks. We show that network analysis can be a useful tool for mapping the gendered structur…
How women broke into the old boys’ corporate network in Switzerland
This article aims to contribute to women’s business history by linking research on corporate networks with research on female directors. To do so, we investigate the effect of the Swiss corporate network on the entry of women into boardrooms, and the effect of board feminisation on the Swiss corporate network and elites. We draw on a large database of Swiss elites, which includes board members and chief executive officers (CEOs) of the 110 larges…
From Quiet to Noisy Politics: Transformations of Swiss Business Elites' Power
During most of the twentieth century, it was possible to consider Switzerland a coordinated market economy, characterized by dense interfirm networks and the strong role of business associations. Thanks to their cohesion and collective organization, in a context of quiet politics and informal institutions, business elites could largely self-regulate major socioeconomic issues in the shadow of politics. However, since the end of the twentieth cent…

Who Runs the Firm? A Long-Term Analysis of Gender Inequality on Swiss Corporate Boards
The recent arrival of women on corporate boards has been extensively discussed in the literature. However, most of the studies focus on very recent times. This article analyzes the presence of women on the corporate boards of the largest firms in Switzerland across the past hundred years. It shows that until the beginning of the 1970s, the very few women sitting on the boardrooms belonged to the families owning the firms. Two main factors contrib…
Le recrutement des hauts dirigeants d'entreprises suisses (1910-1980)
Jusqu'à une période récente, les rares études qui se sont intéressées aux dirigeants d'entreprises en Suisse aux XIX e et XX e siècles ont eu tendance à célébrer la figure du self-made man, parti de rien et parvenu à la fin de sa vie aux plus hautes positions de pouvoir. Cet article, qui porte sur l'origine sociale et la formation de plus de 800 hauts dirigeants des plus importantes entreprises suisses, actifs entre 1910 et 1980, s'inscrit en fau…
Le monde charitable représenté: Réseaux d'acteurs et « concordat charitable » à Paris en 1900
Cet article a pour but de représenter le monde charitable du Paris de la Belle Époque. Pour ce faire, l'étude se fonde sur deux répertoires charitables : Paris charitable et prévoyant (1897) et le Manuel des œuvres (1900). L'analyse de réseau nous permet, à partir de ces sources, d'opérer une observation empirique de l'objet, qui contraste avec la représentation officielle de la charité telle qu'elle se donne à voir au Congrès d'assistance de 190…
Si vis pacem, para bellum'-the construction of business cooperation in the Swiss machinery industry
This article addresses the historical emergence of business cooperation. We resort to Höpner’s (2007) concepts of organization and coordination in order to analyze how firms progressively engaged in Business Interest Associations (BIAs) and interlocking directorates during the first part of the 20th century. Our inquiry is based on a network analysis on large firms of the Swiss machine, electrotechnical and metallurgy (MEM) sector. Our results sh…
Elites in Switzerland: The Rise and Fall of a Model of Elite Coordination
O objetivo do artigo é entender as transformações recentes das elites suíças com base em um banco de dados sobre elites políticas, econômicas e administrativas que abrange todo o século xx. A partir desse conjunto de informações investigamos a origem social, educação e mecanismos de concertação das elites suíças. Detectamos que, por um longo tempo, mantiveram seu poder através da combinação de um restrito recrutamento social e de um modelo de con…
Les réseaux de la réforme sociale à Genève autour des années 1900
À travers le cas de la philanthropie genevoise au début du xxe siècle, cet article revient sur le lien entre action bienfaisante et cohésion sociale. Fondée sur une source publiée en 1903, l'Annuaire philanthropique genevois, qui recense les œuvres charitables et leurs membres, l'analyse de réseau permet d'identifier de manière systématique les liens qui existent entre les institutions et les acteurs qui constituent le champ de la philanthropie e…
Can families resist managerial and financial revolutions? Swiss family firms in the twentieth century
The aim of this contribution is to highlight the long-term evolution of family capitalism in Switzerland during the twentieth century. We focus on 22 large companies of the machine, electrotechnical and metallurgy (MEM) sector whose boards of directors and general managers have been identified in five benchmark years across the twentieth century, which allows us to distinguish between family-owned and family-controlled firms. Our results show tha…
