Abstract: This article aims at demonstrating the interest of the cliometric approach not solely for economists or historians, but also for management specialists and decision-makers. Bringing management and history closer is indeed not something incongruous. In this respect, cliometrics can introduce a theoretical dimension grounded on historical evidence. It is also (as history or management themselves) a discipline of synthesis. It should open the way to a management science at the same time taking into account the "lessons of history", i.e. on an analysis of historical trends enlightened by the use of the social sciences in their quantitative and qualitative dimensions.
