Business history is a historiographical field which examines the history of firms, business methods, government regulation and the effects of business on society. It also includes biographies of individual firms, executives, and entrepreneurs. It is related to economic history.[1] It is distinct from "company history" which refers to official histories, usually funded by the company itself.
