The Business and Economic History (BEH) Workshops Series in Venice (San Giobbe, VSM) and Padua (DISSGeA) is conceived to provide scholars with a place to discuss studies in economic and business history produced by authors working inside different disciplinary environments, as department of history, humanities, management and economics.
The evident global connotation of this first series is a signal of the diversity and openness of the field.
