abstract = {There have been calls in recent literature for researchers to open up the ?black box? of business schools to explore their dynamics and behaviors in-depth for a context-sensitive understanding of their evolution. Drawing on the case of ESCP, a leading business school in France, this article shows how European business schools' curricula have evolved since the late 1960s in response to a combination of powerful actors' demands and the emergence of new processes in the educational domain. This article finds that while European business schools' curricula reflect the influence of internal and external forces, they do not converge to a common type, because of the different markets and political and cultural contexts in which they operate. It also finds that business schools in Europe purposefully do not imitate those in United States.},

abstract = {Le présent article traite de l'histoire de l'enseignement en entrepreneuriat en école de commerce. S'appuyant sur une étude de cas consacrée à la plus ancienne école de commerce du monde - l'ESCP -, nous avons mobilisé une approche longitudinale afin de retracer l'évolution de la place de l'enseignement en entrepreneuriat dans cet établissement. Cet article montre comment, à l'ESCP, le déploiement de l'enseignement en entrepreneuriat est le fruit de la confluence entre des forces externes et internes ; à savoir, d'un côté, les pressions économiques et les pressions exercées par les anciens élèves et, de l'autre, les initiatives de la direction qui a façonné, pour l'école, un récit historique entrepreneurial dans le cadre des cent-soixante-quinze ans de l'établissement en 1994. Le projet de façonner une histoire partagée à la fois par la communauté ESCP et par les différentes parties prenantes a ainsi conduit à l'émergence d'un mythe portant sur la présence native, dans cette école, d'un enseignement en entrepreneuriat. Dans le cas de l'ESCP, ce mythe est construit sur la figure de l'économiste Jean-Baptiste Say. Notre étude met ainsi en perspective les réalités de l'enseignement en entrepreneuriat en école de commerce depuis le dix-neuvième siècle tout en mettant en exergue la puissance du mythe institutionnel et, en particulier, son pouvoir légitimateur ainsi que distinctif face aux concurrents.},

abstract = {The setting of European commercial education has traditionally been addressed with reference to higher schools of commerce and faculties of business. This has not taken into account empirical evidence showing that, historically, higher engineering schools also offered a mixed education in mercantile and technical subjects to students who wanted to devote themselves to business. However, this type of schooling has received little attention. This article investigates how commercial departments from higher engineering schools constituted an initial, yet ephemeral, public attempt to build an engineering model of commercial education that closely combined mercantile and technical instruction well before the twentieth century.},

abstract = {Historical narratives are considered to play a role of consolidation within family firms over time. They instill a common vision of family business history made up of values, myths and stories which forge a distinctive culture. Yet family businesses do not always manage to remain in the bosom of the family. What happens to historical family business narratives when the intra-family succession fails? Are they still relevant? If so, for whom? And in what ways? The use of narratives in the firm after the takeover by non-family purchasers remains a relatively untouched topic of research. It deserves investigation since ?selling out? as an alternative to intra-family succession can be a viable option. Through the qualitative case study of a French business school which used to be a family firm for two generations during the 19th century - the Higher School of Commerce of Paris, presently named ESCP Europe - this study demonstrates that family business can become, with the writing of its history, an arena for emotional confrontation. In this case, on the one hand, witnesses of the family era used the history of the former family business to preserve its alma mater. On the other hand, its new purchasers used it to show that, unlike their predecessors, they had succeeded in increasing the organisation's prosperity to a level that had never been achieved before. Historical family business narratives can therefore serve both as indicators of the emotional tensions that run through the firm and as strategic levers for shaping the future of the firm.},

abstract = {This article explores the emergence of European business education in the mid-nineteenth century. Drawing on archival analysis the typological study which this article proposes, attempts to show that business education before 1870 seems to have been a geographically and institutionally broader expression than has been described up to now. It identifies four organisational models of business education and reveals that higher business education was not limited to the Higher Schools of Commerce alone. It concludes that the European states took, directly or not, an interest in business education well before the end of the nineteenth century.},
