Introduction

This issue marks the end of my third and final term as editor-in-chief of Enterprise and Society. It has been a privilege and an honor to serve in this role. My aim has always been to reflect the breadth, depth, and originality of the work generated by our incredible global business history research community, and I believe that together we—the entire editorial team, our reviewers, our authors, and our readers—have achieved just that. I relinquish the role happy in the knowledge that I have such an able and inspiring successor in Professor Ai Hisano, University of Tokyo. Ai and I have been working together closely for the past several months, and I am certain she is going to take the journal to new heights, leading it with verve and insight. In his sign-off, my predecessor, Phil Scranton, said that he had had a terrific time in the role. I have too—it has been fun!
