企业通常被认为是当今世界最强大的演员之一。然而，这一立场既不像人们通常认为的那样直截了当，也不特别新颖。尽管如此，迄今为止，商业历史学家并没有关注商业权力的话题，往往将其视为潜伏在他们分析背景中的东西。有迹象表明，随着对资本主义历史研究的增长，这种情况可能开始发生变化，但这一修订后的总统讲话鼓励商业历史学家更全面、更明确地参与权力概念，并认识到这一概念可以用来启发商业史研究的不同方式。
Business is commonly regarded as one of the powerful actors in the world today. However, this position is neither as straightforward as often believed nor particularly new. Nevertheless, business historians have not focused on the topic of business power to date, often leaving it as something lurking in the background of their analyses. There are signs that this may be beginning to change with the growth of studies on the history of capitalism, but this revised presidential address encourages business historians to engage more fully and explicitly with the concept of power and to recognize the different ways in which the concept can be used to enlighten the study of business history.
