Hannah on ‘Hollywood history’: Exploring the limits of the Chandlerian model

Daniel M.G. Raff

Business History, 2019, vol. 61, issue 7, 1108-1128

Abstract: This article explores Leslie Hannah’s critique of the literature of international comparative business history including and deriving from Alfred Chandler’s Scale and Scope: The Dynamics of Industrial Capitalism (Cambridge MA: Harvard University Press, 1990). This critique is in part empirical and in part deeper. Some of the key texts are published and more or less accessible but key elements remain unpublished (at least in English). The article summarises Hannah’s argument, going into some detail for the unpublished material, and reflects on the significance of the body of work considered as a whole.
