The History of Business

The History of Business: Putting It All in Context

Use the Internet to research an American company that has been in business for more than 100 years. Explain how this company has changed over its lifespan. For example: 1. Has it always produced the same goods and services, or has its focus shifted over time? 2. Which of the five eras did this company operate during, and how did these historical shifts affect the company? 3. Did this business always align with the conventions of its time, or did it lead the way into new eras?
