Abstract

Business history allows throwing light on great movements of economy and their origin. The contributions of this sort of history are numerous: the part of scale saving, diversification, scale progress. The vision of technical progress by historians nourishes also a lot of models of endogenous growth. A pure microeconomic process can bring forward a representativity problem, the focus being put generally on success stories and big firm stories. A macroeconomic dimension is necessary for establishing major facts. If distortions between two dimensions are frequent, convergences take on, as the works of Alfred Chandler an Michael Porter show it. They both agree on determining part of innovation dynamics, but the second, unlike the first, rejects the superiority of the big firm to the advantage of the impulsion effect of the creation of new firms. Business history underestimated for a long time the place of small and middle firms.
