The Center for Business History organizes the workshop "Classroom Frontiers: Business History Course Development" at the 2018 Business History Conference Annual Meeting in Baltimore on 5 April 2018.

The question of companies and their nationality opens the discussion about how companies relate to society and the nation state, and vice versa. What nationality (if it has one) does a company have and how can it be conceived? The conference discusses this question and its implications historically from several perspectives, including perceptions and construction of nationality, the strategic dimension of nationality, nationality in international companies and international mergers, companies in (post)colonial settings and economic nationalism.
