I created a map of researchers in business history, management history, historical organization studies and organizational history. The why and how of this (for me) spectacular task will be in Friday’s post. In the meantime, though, I need your help.This map is far from complete, because not everyone actually uses the terms I used for searches (and trust me, those searches were more convoluted than you might think). For now, I use “business historians” as a shorthand for “historical researchers interested in business, management, organizations and organizational memory”. Don’t be cross, I am writing this in my spare time, and this will be a thousand words longer if I use that label EVERY SINGLE TIME! Consequently, this map features a fair few anomalies:
I could go on. The data for Europe seems a bit better. That said: Bernardo, you are not currently on the map. Also, can you do something about the Latin American coverage?
So, here’s my ask to you:
The dataWhere does the data come from?All data for this map were compiled from publicly available digital sources. The majority of entries were drawn from Google Scholar, where academics can enter their subject interests. Additional searches were also conducted, but yielded fewer and less reliable results. Some of these results were included. What data underpins the map?The Github files only contain numbers and no identifying information, unless released by the person. Where is the data stored?The data is stored in a secure folder on an institutional OneDrive, which is GDPR-compliant. If you want to know if your name is included, submit the form. If you want to be removed from the underlying dataset, fill in the form and I will confirm removal via email. All data from the form submission is stored in the same OneDrive folders, and the form is also part of the institutional Microsoft 365 subscription and GDPR-compliant. What now?Fill in the form and add yourself to the map. If you feel like it, opt in to display your information (realistically, we are semi-public as professionals already). Share it with your colleagues, so we get a better map. But why?Wouldn’t it be nice if we all knew who we are, where we are, and what we do?
