The Gesellschaft für Unternehmensgeschichte e.V. (GUG) is an internationally recognized scientific institution for the promotion of research in business history. It is represented in the council of the European Business History Association (EBHA) and an affiliated member of the International Economic History Association (IEHA).
Institution for the promotion of scientific interchange: The GUG provides a forum of scientific interchange for all interested academics. For this purpose, as an example, it organizes lecture events, symposia and research groups.

Mediator between science and practice: Research in business history is a process of attaining new insights, which lives by the participation and support of a broad spectrum of companies and business historians. Therefore, the GUG sees itself as a network for the promotion of the dialogue between companies and academics. With this network, companies are able to introduce issues arising from their business into the scientific discussion.

Partner of companies: The GUG assists companies in all questions involving the presentation of their history. It offers support for establishing company archives and the documentation and publication of corporate histories.
