Abstract
The article has its origin in a research project about the identity, legitimacy and social role of industrial managers in Danish society c. 1880 - 1930. The research project crosses some of the traditional boundaries between economic, social and cultural history, and in line with this the article discusses what has constituted the boundaries between these historical sub-disciplines in terms of basic questions asked and methods used. The article is concluded with a discussion of how an approach derived from "the new social history" may be applied to an analysis of Danish industrial managers in the late 19th and early 20th centuries.
