In this article, we study the trajectories of marine insurance companies within the Naples business network over the nineteenth century in connection with the business interests of local elites. First, we provide a detailed reconstruction of the marine insurance sector during the century, filling a gap in the literature. Second, backed by original historical and prosopographical reconstructions, the business network evolution of interlocking directorates shows how the shift of the local business system from the centrality of marine insurance companies towards banks is related to the strategic behaviours of local elites, aimed at preserving their power after the Italian unification. This interpretative perspective demonstrates the coherence of our findings with the ‘passive modernisation’ hypothesis in the Southern financial system.

AbstractThe paper investigates the Stephenson Company’s contribution to genesis of the railway industry by exploring its business model in its formative years. The Company capitalised on a well-developed business and technological infrastructure in the North-east of England that provided the building blocks for the creation of a new industry. It gained from its linkages with two social networks which provided it with a financial safety-net during the locomotive development phase and the mechanical expertise it required: the closed Quaker network and the regional network of colliery and mechanical engineers. Whilst bridging between and across these social networks facilitated the Company’s development, it was not central to its strategic decision-making. This was shaped by the externalities of market conditions, which the Company sought to influence by producing a viable product that would convince customers of its utility, and investors of the potential gains to be had through investing in railway construction.Keywords: Early railway developmentengineeringaccounting evidencesocial capitalsocial networkscapital conversionsintangible assets Disclosure statementNo potential conflict of interest was reported by the authors.Notes1 The quest to gain competitive advantage by producing larger steam locomotives with greater tractive potential than their predecessors continued right through to the demise of steam in the 1950s (Fleming et al., Citation2000), but from the 1840s these improvements were incremental.2 In terms of accounting and finance research alone, Bianchi et al. (Citation2023) identified 162 articles involving social network analysis between 2000 and 2021.3 In the USA, for example, it was the Baldwin Company which dominated.4 According to Usselman (1991, p. 1050), “American railroads always exhibited a high degree of cooperation in technical affairs…In technical matters, railroads harbored no secrets”. Sinclair (Citation1974, p. 7) noted that, “the mechanics’ institute began simultaneously in Britain and the United States.”5 “Other men of business were partners or employees in a single fixed enterprise, went to the counting-house … or factory in the morning and returned home in the evening. For the Stephensons, [home] was only the base from which they were conducting a range of large-scale undertakings that had no parallel at the time.
