“…With regard to research, this may involve going into the archives, reading the work of foundational thinkers in their original form, locating their contribution to our field within the body of their whole work and within the historical context, and comparing the presentation of their ideas in their home discipline alongside how they are presented in management studies. Or, it may involve looking at the forgotten roles played by those who currently do not populate management histories, such as women and non-European ethnic groups (e.g., Prieto et al, 2017;Cooke & Alcadipani, 2015). These approaches can help us overcome what has become a very stale orthodoxy that simplifies the past and limits future perspectives and developments .…”

“…Were they alive today, founding "fathers," such as Adam Smith (Huhn & Dierksmeier, 2016); Max Weber (Cummings & Bridgman, 2011;Mills, Weatherbee, & Durepos, 2014); Douglas McGregor (Jacques, 2006); and Kurt Lewin (Cummings, Bridgman, & Brown, 2016) would have difficulty recognizing the ways in which their ideas are presented in textbooks. Meanwhile, in addition to these misrepresentations, the pioneering contributions of women and people from ethnic minorities are largely ignored Prieto, Phipps, Osiri, & LeCounte, 2017).…”

Abraham Maslow's theory of motivation, the idea that human needs exist in a hierarchy that people strive to satisfy progressively, is regarded as a fundamental approach to understanding and motivating people at work. It is one of the first and most remembered models encountered by students of management. Despite gaining little support in empirical studies and being criticized for promoting an elitist, individualistic view of management, Maslow's theory remains popular, underpinned by its widely recognized pyramid form. However, Maslow never created a pyramid to represent the hierarchy of needs. We investigated how it came to be and draw on this analysis to call for a rethink of how Maslow is represented in management studies. We also challenge management educators to reflect critically on what are taken to be the historical foundations of management studies and the forms in which those foundations are taught to students.

“…While SR reporting is now common in many organisations, there have been a limited number of historical studies in the management literature. Historical studies that have emerged have found evidence of SR dating back to the nineteenth and early twentieth centuries, in small family businesses (Leoni, 2017) and large public and private companies (Hoffman, 2007; Morf et al , 2013; Procter, 2014; Husted, 2015; Jammulamadaka, 2016; Prieto et al , 2017; Corker, 2018). Absent from the historical management literature are investigations of SR amongst sporting organisations, even though some contemporary research exists (Walters, 2009).…”

“…In examining SR from a football club perspective, the paper uses an archive of digitised newspapers. Newspapers have been used in previous studies (Prieto et al , 2017; Liguori, 2012), yet, the use of digitised newspapers is rare in historical management research. Digitisation has expanded the research possibilities, particularly in historical social issues (Ayres, 2013).…”

Social responsibility by Australian football clubs in the 1890s

Purpose This paper aims to examine the social responsibility (SR) by Australian football clubs during the late nineteenth century. While there has been some contemporary research linking SR with sporting clubs, there is a dearth of such studies in the historical context. Design/methodology/approach This paper uses a qualitative approach and in the absence of annual reports, relies on The Suburban newspaper narratives of club annual general meetings (AGMs). The National Library of Australia’s newspaper digitisation programme was used which is a unique archive in management research. Findings Even though it was well-known that football provided a social outlet for watching games, this paper found clubs also engaged in a number of SR-related activities that benefited many stakeholders and the surrounding communities. Originality/value Deficient in much of the history of Australian football is the SR that clubs displayed to their stakeholders. This paper lengthens the historical SR literature for sporting clubs, and provides rich and detailed evidence of SR. While Australian football club histories continue to highlight winning teams, premierships and major personalities, their SR contribution is also significant and extends to the foundation of the game.

Purpose The purpose of this paper is to establish a supported and validated reference point for understanding how Nicodemus, Kansas warrants significant inclusion in both the history of management and current entrepreneurship education. Design/methodology/approach This paper consists of a literature review to identify the salient historical and theoretical importance of the community of Nicodemus, Kansas. The research was conducted by reviewing and couching the research in this context. Findings Nicodemus, born out of an entrepreneurial spirit of newly liberated Black Americans, is the surviving entrepreneurial force for the African-American efforts in the western US expansion efforts in the later 1800s. The community, courage and cooperative views of the settlers were instrumental in overcoming a variety of hardships inherent in the location, society and time period to not only survive but also deliver growth and success. Nicodemus personified cultural pride and self-reliance, which fueled personal and commercial success. Practical implications The cooperative advantage is justified to be included in discussions of American management history, taught in the entrepreneurship curriculum and used by practitioners. Social implications Collective courage and cooperative advantage used by Nicodemus carries implications for how modern Black communities can advance their economic and social agendas. Originality/value Coverage of Black contributions management and entrepreneurship is scant, but a Black Enlightenment period has recently changed that scholars have recently begun to cover these significant moments in the literature (Prieto and Phipps, 2019). We argue that Nicodemus as an entrepreneurial community serves as a case study that needs contextualization in this Black Enlightenment era and holds pertinent implications for modern Black communities.
