English to Spanish: The Historical Alternatives Approach General field: Social Sciences Detailed field: Economics
Source text - English The aim of this chapter is to present a brief conceptual overview of what has become known as the "historical alternatives" approach to business history. The notion of alternatives is central to this approach in both a historical and a historiographical sense. Historically, the hallmark of this approach is its emphasis on the salience of alternative possibilities, contingency, and strategic choice in the development of modern industry over the past three centuries. Historiographically, this approach represents an alternative to mainstream currents in economic, technological, and business history: an alternative, in particular, to Chandlerian business history focused on the economic and technological efficiency of administrative coordination and learning within large, hierarchically managed enterprises. From its origins in joint work by Charles Sabel and myself in the early 1980s, a substantial body of empirical work on European, American, and Japanese industrial history has since appeared which draws on and extends the historical alternatives
approach.
Translation - Spanish El objetivo de este capítulo es presentar un breve resumen conceptual de lo que se conoce como el enfoque de las alternativas históricas en la historia de los negocios. El concepto de las alternativas es fundamental dentro de este enfoque desde una perspectiva tanto histórica como historiográfica. Históricamente, el rasgo distintivo de este enfoque es su énfasis en la importancia de las posibilidades alternativas, en la contingencia y en la elección estratégica en el desarrollo de la industria moderna a lo largo de los últimos trescientos años. Historiográficamente, este enfoque representa una alternativa a las corrientes principales en la historia de la economía, la tecnología y los negocios: una alternativa, en particular, a la historia de los negocios de Chandler centrada en la eficiencia económica y tecnológica de la coordinación y el aprendizaje administrativos dentro de empresas grandes y gestionadas de forma jerárquica. Desde sus orígenes en el trabajo conjunto de Charles Sabel y mío a principios de los 80, se ha llevado a cabo una gran cantidad de investigación empírica sobre la historia industrial de Europa, EEUU y Japón que bebe del enfoque de las alternativas históricas y a su vez lo amplía.
