Corporate restructuring in the telecommunications equipment industry: The case of Spain in the late twentieth century
A new technological paradigm coupled with a powerful wave of deregulation and liberalisation that was unleashed worldwide from the 1980s onwards acted as a catalyst for profound transformation in the telecommunications equipment industry, which was dominated at the time by large multinational corporations. These developments, in turn, led to worldwide restructuring in the sector. The present paper hypothesises that the sector’s oligopolistic stru…
Cuando éramos emigrantes. La emigración española a Francia durante la Primera Guerra Mundial y la inmediata posguerra
Las migraciones internacionales han merecido atención especial desde las más diversas disciplinas. En las últimas décadas la investigación histórica se ha enriquecido con enfoques no eurocéntricos, aportaciones de la historia laboral y perspectivas de género. Sin embargo, quedan todavía espacios geográficos y momentos que no han recibido la atención apropiada. Este estudio pretende llenar algunas lagunas todavía existentes. Aborda un episodio de …
Living conditions and social response in times of apocalypse: The inflationary cycle of the First World War in Catalonia
This article deals with the issue of population living conditions and the resulting social response in a very short inflationary conjuncture, created by an external shock. It focuses on the effects of the First World War – a cataclysm in the history of humanity that affected all spheres, from the geopolitical and social to the economic – on a particular region of eastern Spain: Catalonia. The article is structured into five main sections. It begi…
International Migrations and Labour Market Regulation. Spanish Workers in France during the First World War
A profound, widespread and lasting impact has made the First World War the focus of the early attention of scholars from different fields and backgrounds. Despite the sizeable efforts and progress achieved, some territory remains unexplored. One of these is the foreign workforce’s role and, particularly, the so-called ‘white’ labour force. To fill in the gaps that still exist, this research is divided into four main sections. They include structu…
Tecnología autóctona y oligopolio en el sector de las telecomunicaciones: Amper, 1980-2003
El artículo explora las pautas y mecanismos de supervivencia de una empresa de las telecomunicaciones con tecnología de base autóctona durante las décadas de los ochenta y noventa en un contexto de creciente liberalización e integración del mercado, que, no obstante, mantenía su estructura oligopólica. Su objetivo es aportar elementos al conocimiento del comportamiento de las empresas industriales en esas áreas entre el Estado-nación y las multin…
La telefonía móvil celular en España: Políticas de gobierno y de empresas. El caso de Indelec, 1984-2003
Este artículo aborda la forja y resultados de una alianza entre la operadora monopolista del servicio telefónico, el capital multinacional y una administración autonómica resuelta a recuperar tejido industrial gracias a la introducción de una tecnología avanzada de las telecomunicaciones en un territorio (País Vasco) castigado por la depresión durante y tras la reconversión industrial de los primeros años de la década de 1980. Pretende dilucidar …
State, firms and technology. The rise of multinational telecommunications companies: ITT and the Compañía Telefónica Nacional de España , 1924–1945
This article addresses a major topic in business history: the strategies used by multinational telecommunications companies to establish themselves on the world stage. It seeks to explore two interconnected issues: how a new entrant-ITT-used the immature market of Spain in its strategy for expansion, and how Spanish national institutions and government regulation influenced this process. With the backing of the US banks and government, ITT create…
The shaping of urban telephone networks in Europe, 1877–1926
This article analyses the spread of public utilities and urban development through a wide-ranging comparison of European cities. It considers variables that are not simply demand-based to explain the diffusion of the telephone. The article explores the relationship between variables, city size, position in the urban hierarchy, urban growth and the function of the city in relation to the spread of the telephone. It concludes that the scale and the…
The Spanish telephone sector (1876-1924): A case of technological backwardness

Its main purpose is to examine the factors that determined the technological choices that were made in this sector, and to describe and analyze the growth of telephone networks in Spain and the rest of Europe between 1876 and 1924, a period marked by the internationalization of technology. It concludes that a complex range of factors, varying in their specific impo…
