David C. Mowery, “Steven Klepper and business history.” Industrial and Corporate Change (2015): dtv023.
The impressive body of research published by the late Steven Klepper spanned a diverse array of topics, but among the most important were issues related to the evolution of industry structure.

Chandler, Jr. Both scholars addressed similar topics, and a comparison of Klepper’s work on firm and industry evolution with that of Chandler highlights enduring research challenges in economics, strategy, and business history.
