New Research Publications

The soccer mad boffins are very pleased to announce that we have co-authored two exciting new book chapters, one about the history of UK leisure centres and the other a methods paper about doing archival research:

Gillett, A.G. and Tennent, K.D., 2023. Evolution of Public Services: The Case of UK Leisure Centres in the Late 20th Century. In Collective Entrepreneurship in the Contemporary European Services Industries: A Long Term Approach,, Perez, PF and San Roman, E (eds)., Emerald Publishing, pp.61-76.

Tennent, K.D. and Gillett, A.G., 2023. How to research in an archive. In Handbook of Historical Methods for Management (Decker, S., Foster, W.M., Giavonnoni, E., (eds), Cheltenham, UK and Northampton, MA, USA: Edward Elgar Publishing, pp.104-120.

The UK leisure centres chapter is a development of our award winning developmental paper presented at the British Academy of Management annual conference a couple of years ago. The book it is included in is the latest in the Frontiers of Management History series that we are the editors of.

The methods chapter is based on our own experience of archival research for organisational history.
