authors see a change from excluding daughters from succession to at least considering them as possible leaders. Their examination of five daughters shows that if they are co-leaders with their brothers the latter are still regarded as the ones in charge and daughters are more likely to take over family businesses if they were close to their fathers and involved from an early age. They also found that women are more likely to take over family businesses in times of crisis. This finding is the focus of Jarna Heinonen and Elisabet Ljunggren’s essay on unplanned succession and daughters who became leaders of family businesses due to deaths of male leaders. This seems proof of the continuing theme of contingency when it comes to women’s leadership. The essays based on modern case studies are provocative but it is not clear how representative their findings are and they often seem to take their interviewees’s words at face value. This can be problematic since women are socialised to defer to authority and to be agreeable it is possible that these findings present an overly positive picture of women not becoming leaders of family businesses. The essays by business scholars in this collection would all benefit from more historical contextualisation of women’s roles in business as well as more gendered analysis. In return the historians could test some of the business theories more. Catriona Macleod’s fine essay on widowed businesswomen in eighteenthand nineteenth-century Glasgow does just that. She applies social exchange theory to fruitfully analyse the relationships and reciprocity or exchanges that typified family businesses in the past. Macleod argues that focusing on the moment when a widow took over a business allows us to take the focus off the individual male leader and instead see the familial roles and connections inherent in family businesses. Focusing on women does change how we view business history after all.

百富勤的职业。北欧工程师和建筑师的跨国流动,1880-1930年
作者们看到了从将女儿排除在继承之外的变化到至少将她们视为可能的领导者的转变。他们对五个女儿的检查显示,如果他们与兄弟一起共同领导,则后者仍被视为负责人,如果女儿与父亲关系密切并从小就参与其中,则女儿更有可能接管家族企业。他们还发现,在危机时期,女性更有可能接管家族企业。这一发现是Jarna Heinonen和Elisabet Ljunggren的论文的重点,内容涉及计划外的继承和由于男性领导人去世而成为家族企业领导人的女儿。这似乎证明了在妇女领导方面持续性的偶然性主题。基于现代案例研究的论文颇具启发性,但尚不清楚他们的发现是否具有代表性,而且他们似乎常常以受访者的话为准。这可能是有问题的,因为妇女已经社交以服从权威,并且令人信服,因此这些发现可能过于正面地表明了妇女没有成为家族企业的领导者。商业学者在该系列中的论文都将受益于妇女在商业中的作用的历史性背景化以及更多的性别分析。作为回报,历史学家可以更多地测试一些商业理论。卡特里奥娜·麦克劳德(Catriona Macleod)在十九世纪八十年代格拉斯哥关于丧偶女企业家的精美论文就做到了这一点。她运用社会交流理论来丰硕地分析过去代表家族企业的关系和互惠或交流。麦克劳德认为,专注于寡妇接管企业的那一刻,可以使我们将注意力从男性领导者身上移开,而是看到家族企业固有的家族角色和联系。毕竟,专注于女性确实改变了我们如何看待商业历史。
