The role of private venture in the history of business studies education

Abstract

Most members of the public are aware that Britain is a trading nation in which business and commercial activities have a key economic role. They may equally be aware that this country has been involved in these activities for several centuries. Indeed, in medieval times, trading took place not only within city walls under the aegis of the guilds but also overseas, notably with Europe. Longer trade routes were possibly safer across the sea than across land, and the exchange of wool, silks and wine between England and the Continent was important. Exploring navigators in due course ventured far beyond the coasts of Europe and discovered new continents and new products, and inevitably these provided markets for both buying and selling.
