Opis

The late twentieth century has witnessed the establishment of new forms of capitalism in East Asia as well as new market economies in Eastern Europe. Despite the rhetoric of globalization, they are continuing to diverge because of significant differences in dominant institutions. This book presents the comparative business systems framework for describing and explaining the major differences in economic organization between market economies.

Recenzje

Richard Whitley's book makes a important contribution to (this) debate ... This new book not only brings together the ideas expounded in earlier publications in a new way but also significantly expands and deepens the theoretical framework.
